One of us will come with you.
How many of you know how to swim?

[identifier]

i'm a good swimmer. i'll ask around who isn't.

[sulfa]

Good. You need to keep the ratio at least 50-50. Do you know how strong the current is?

[identifier]

unpredictable. i saw more than one whirlpool.

[sulfa]

That's dangerous. Means there are opposing currents. Teleport, don't try to build a bridge or raft across first - but make sure those of you who do have life preservers all the same. And cross at the widest point - the current will be at its weakest there if something goes wrong. Do you know what's downstream? Any rocks?

[ makes a life preserver out of pants..... ok. getting his doomsday prep kit together. ]

didn't see any rocks or waterfalls. no wildlife, either.

[sulfa]

That's good. Means it probably flows into the lake without any major drops in elevation. Don't let yourself get lulled into a false sense of security about the wildlife, though. It could be that there's stuff you haven't seen. Some animals are stealth hunters.

there don't seem to be that many here. isn't that strange?

[sulfa]

It is. It could be that they go to another place when they die, or maybe they just go nowhere at all. Not sure, but Winters or Rastus might know.

[ Hopefully there's something pleasant for animals, though. Irwin's parents never let him have anything more than a goldfish growing up, but he's always been fond of them. ]

Think we should go ask?

[sulfa]

We should. Especially before trying to build any sort of bridge. Let me know what you find out.

[identifier]

I will.
