>>5693127<span class="mu-s">Talon</span> takes a hit and becomes <span class="mu-i">injured</span>! When trying to break through its shell, he fails and is bitten. Only for Myron to come in and finish it off with a powerful CRUNCH and his stone hammer- with the unintended side effect of punching a hole right through the bottom of the boat.
"Dammit! You clumsy Bromble!"
With the immediate threat of the beavers dealt with- the boat sinking is still a problem. You're now closer to the island then the way back; so you make a break for it. The party member begins to row, push, and doggy-paddle as hard as they can towards the island. The boat rapidly takes on water and begins to sink, leading to confusion and disarray. Eventually, they manage to wash up on the Island itself, though not everyone makes it...
<span class="mu-i">You</span> at least manage to make it to shore. There, you take hold of your supplies and situation. Some members of the Crown Crusaders were separated, left behind on the mainland, or perhaps met their end at the jaws of the vicious rompers. Bluemane, Skyhoof, William, Doc, Wiggles, Urist- are they alright? Either way, it will take days, if not weeks, for them to build another boat and make a successful crossing to join up with you. Well, no reason to wait around.
