### 209

You swap seats with Jarel and take up the oars. The flow is much stronger here at the river mouth, but you are rested and you row with a strength and determination that overcomes the current. You have travelled over ten miles upstream when the bow rams against a submerged obstruction. The boat is near the middle of the river and you can see no obvious hazards, such as shoals or mud banks, but it is stuck fast, and no matter how hard you row you cannot free it.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Pathsmanship and have reached the rank of Tutelary or higher, turn to 191.

If you do not possess this skill or have yet to reach this level of Magnakai training, turn to 28.
