Lastlook: Entering the River
[For the past day or so, it's pretty clear the Amber Steppe has been left behind and the Totem Coast is getting closer. The air is more humid and the undergrowth has gone from a burnt amber color to be thicker, greender, and almost bordering on jungle-like. Several other streams have joined the one that the explorers have been following until it's almost large enough to start sailing on. Raine had encouraged everyone to press on, though, not sure it was time just yet (and also because she doesn't particularly like boats, okay). The cliffs around them start to grow up as well, and it probably won't be too long before the jungle becomes a properly impassable one, leaving the river as the only choice.
But this morning, another large stream had joined up with their and now it was more like a proper river. In the late morning they reach a large pier with five boats. The river also begins to take a higher road from here downstream, while the jungle starts to clog the lower road. Looks like it won't be too much longer before they're in the very painting that led them here. It's time to investigate those boats - and unload the smaller onces Percy Jackson has packed. And if you don't trust either of these, there are some inflatable rafts that Raine has packed as well.
So let's load up, and they'll be on the water by the afternoon!]

Although I've never heard of such a thing, can I assume it runs on solar power?

Now that is something I wish I could see! [Moreso because she can hardly believe it, but there's genuine curiosity underneath that.]

[She's squinting as she looks around for more spiders.] We must have gotten a fair amount of them...

...You know, I wish we had a broom. It might make the cleanup a bit easier.
