It takes us about an hour to get things ready and then we head upriver. In the evening we decide to camp rather than push through, at the captain’s recommendation. We fish off the boat and have a shore lunch.

That evening, we hang out by the fire and take watches. During the third watch, Jean sees some things creeping across the shore. They are goat-men and centaurs with bows and arrows. Vedasi wakes up and kills one immediately with two arrows. Gottfried tries to shoot one of them with his pistol but the thing explodes, blowing his right arm off. He screams in pain.

Tobruk is gored in the chest by one of a Bestigor, a minotaur-cow thing. He puts his axe right in the thing’s spine and it expires. Brokk runs up to the centigor that is near Gottfried and leaps at him like Brad Pitt from Troy and stabs him in the side of the head, killing him instantly.

We kill the rest of them, and Brokk heals both Tobruk and Gottfried although his hand is certainly gone. We talk about getting him a nice hook with different attachments. We search them and find some armor and weapons.

We head out and make it back to the keep by midday the next day.
