"Thank you," Walthus bowed, after feeling the healing energy run through him, looking better already. "Give them goblins a thrashing for me!" He waved them off as Siri and Hikari got on the boat.<br/><br/>Hikari took the oarsman's seat, facing the stern of the boat, while Siri's spot was aft of the human girl and facing forward, so that the two of them were facing one another. She knew her way around the oars and soon they were off, floating along merrily into the marsh just as a light fog began to set in. At least the fog would hopefully give them the element of surprise...<br/><br/>While Siri looked for tracks or tell-tale signs of the goblins' boat's passing and steered the boat, Hikari told a short tale about the origin of her rowing skills. "A few years back, one of the Varisian boys courted me. He was cute too, if a little on the skinny side. Anyways, one time he got the idea of a lake cruise from some traveler he bumped into, just the two of us on a boat on the water with a lazy afternoon to waste. He manged to borrow a boat, but you and I know there aren't any lakes anywhere near here. No worries though, he would just take us out to sea, so that's exactly what he did. As a man, of course he would be the one rowing the boat, but did I mention that he had never rowed before? And he was skinny? And instead of a calm, peaceful lake we were heading out to sea? So the current started pulling us away from shore, just as he ran out of energy, and I had to take over and row us all the way back home. So we made it back safely, with him sitting on his hands like the girl in the boat, and<em>everyone saw it</em>. Poor boy didn't show his face for a month after that."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll a Survival check to find the goblins' tracks and follow them.<br/></div></div>
