Strap in, lots happening today...

You have swallowed a Potion of Clumsiness. At the beginning of any future combat, there is a possibility that you might drop your sword as you unsheathe it and automatically lose the first Attack Round.

You are now 0 for 2 when it comes to sticking things in your mouth. Time to continue your way west again across the grassy plain!

To your left you see movement; a small creature is running across the plain. As it approaches, you see that it is a small pig. The thought of roast suckling pig makes your mouth water.

You run after the pig waving your sword in the air, but it is too agile. It scurries off across the plain and is soon out of view. You slow down to walking pace and continue west still thinking about the succulent roast dinner you might have had.

In the distance you see rising ground, and, beyond in the north-west, the ever-daunting shape of the sleeping volcano. It is not long before you reach the bushy bank of a river running slowly south-east. On the far side the ground is quite steep and tree-covered.

Remember the message in the snuff-box?

You start to search amongst the bushes for the hidden raft and before long you find it. You drag it into the river and climb aboard. The river is not deep and you are able to push the raft up-river against the light current quite easily with the long pole you have.

You have not gone far before you realize that you are not safe even aboard your raft. You see a pair of eyes protruding from the water ahead of you, and suddenly a huge jaw lined with sharp teeth gapes open. With great force, the CROCODILE slams into your raft, almost knocking you off it. The Crocodile thrashes around in the water, its jaws opening and snapping shut in its desperation to bite you.

Hey, you know what'd be handy right now? An iron bar. Too bad you let the Pygmies take yours.

Standing precariously on the rocking raft, you draw your sword to attack the vicious Crocodile.

CROCODILE (Skill 6, Stamina 7)

This isn't even a hard fight, and you still got a chunk taken out of your hide. And yes, you dropped your sword at the beginning of it.

You pick up your pole and push your raft away from the floating carcass of the Crocodile.

On the right bank of the river you see a man dressed in tattered clothing. He is waving his arms around frantically and calling out to you. He looks as if he could be an escaped prisoner.

The arm-wavey man will totally be impressed by our ability to not fall over our own feet. All the time.
