A tall pale creature pulls the boat up near the edge of the bank. You see a net in the boat, but cannot discern what the net contains. “Ah, more visitors.” he says. "The bridge is too dangerous. Let me take you through the barred gate, the water leads to your friend's camp…" You can tell there is partial damage to the bars, leaving just enough space for the boat to fit through. You turn to the Frug, and they look uneasy.
Will you accept the ride from the cave dweller? Or do you not trust the situation, thinking you will be better off trying to overpower the stranger and commandeer the boat with help from the Frug. Lastly, you know you can always go back up the stairs and risk crossing the dilapidated bridge.
