Raft

Class: Male, Human

Hey there, could you give us a hand?

Three people on a raft pass by and wave at you. Right behind them, a host of tree trunks float along the river, connected with ropes. Apparently, one end of the chain has broken, and a number of trunks have landed on this bank. A while later you notice another raft with a man and a woman aboard.
Do you

* Ignore the whole thing?

* Or wave to the couple on the raft?

You walk on and the raft passes by on the river.

The two are occupied with controlling their raft and take no notice of you at first. Even when the raft reaches the bank some distance away, they do not seem to notice you. You hear them running your way, cursing loudly the whole time.
Do you

* Get a move on?

* Head towards them?

You march on.

They finally noticed you.
“Hey there, could you give us a hand?” the man calls out, waving frantically, while the woman starts pushing at the stranded tree trunks.

You hurry to help them.

You’d rather keep going.

“Arrogant rabble!” the man calls out after you, but you do not pay any attention to him.

With combined strength you try to get those trunks free.

Thanks to your assistance, the work doesn’t take too long. Once the trunks are back out on the water, the two rafters start lashing them together again.

It takes quite a while to get those tree trunks moving. Suddenly, they give a jolt and slide into the water.

[NAME] is surprised by their movement, falls into the water and drifts between the trunks. The rafter woman seizes a trunk that is moving dangerously close to [NAME]. The man offers [NAME] his hand and pulls [NAME] out of the water with a strong grip.

[NAME] can only just avoid falling in as the trunks give way. The two rafters immediately start lashing the trunks together again.

“Thank you very much! It is rare to find such helpful strangers. Unfortunately, we cannot delay if we want to avoid losing more trunks on the way. Efferd be with you!” the two push the trunks out into the river and hurry back to their raft. You wander on.

“You really were lucky there! Thanks a lot for your selfless help! Unfortunately, we must leave right away to avoid losing more trunks on the way. Efferd be with you!” the two push the trunks out into the river and hurry back to their raft.
[NAME] is soaking wet and will have to dry those clothes before you can march an further.

“I won’t be dragged that deep into this affair by you,” says [NAME]. “You’ll have to deal with that on your own!”
