Bruce nodded and dived back in, being careful to stay behind Wolf all of the way to the falls. Bruce surfaced and said "Now what do we do?"

Wolf surfaced also and looked at the area. When he noticed three large rocks barring the way he walked over to them and started pushing them out of the way.

Bruce lent his considerable strength and soon the boulders were out of their way.

Wolf nodded and smiled. Thanks fer that, matey. It woulda taken me a bit to move all of those meself. Gemeye scampered over and made a show out of trying to move one of the big boulders when he slipped and fell. Wolf laughed and pulled his younger brother out of the water. Easy now, Gem. Ye don't wanna wear yerself out afore we get to where we're bound with this big ship.

Bruce chuckled quietly at Gemeye and then sobered up and said "Onward, forever onward." and dived back into the water.

Wolf and Gemeye tugged at the ropes, pulling the ship along until they came to the waterfall. Wolf climbed onto the pillars just under the waterfall and lowered a large, trench shaped slab of rock onto them which completed a system of similar rocks set around the pool which created a sort of gutter for the water to travel in so the ship could pass without being damaged.

((Sorry, I forgot)) Bruce looked up, awed at what he saw. "How did you do this?" he asked. Forgetting about his ship, he ran around, looking at all of the rocks and trying to figure out how it worked. "This is amazing! I never would have thought of anything like this!"

Wolf grinned and towed the ship the rest of the way into the pool. It wasn't easy. I had to tow a bunch of huge rocks down here from the moutains. After that I spent a month figuring out the exact position they needed to be in for this to work and yet another month carving ditches into the flatter rocks. After that it took me another two months to actually set it all up. I got the idea from the irigation system that a nearby tribe has which is made from aquaducts or something like that.

Bruce whistled. "That was a lot of work. How often do you use this contraption then?' He looked around. "It'd be a lot of work for nothing if you didn't use it now and again." Suddenly Bruce remembered that they still had the ship to tow. "Ready to finish this?" asked Bruce

Wolf grinned and motioned to the ship now floating in the center of the pool. Already taken care of fer ye, mate. I actually use this a lot more often then ye'd think. We gets quite a few otters coming through here to trade and whatnot so I offers to let them stof their ships here until they're ready to put out again.

"I see," said Bruce. "I think that I'll spend the rest of the day setting up my forge, and tomorrow I'll start looking for metal deposits. Do you want to give me a hand with my anvil and tools?" Bruce gestured to the crates on the deck

Wolf nodded and hopped up onto the ship. He looked around curiously while waiting for Bruce to join him before going over to the crates and grabbing the heaviest of the two.

((are we the only ones posting on the entire site?)) Bruce quickly walked over to Wolf and grabbed the other side of the crate. "Way to pick up the heaviest crate here, matey. This is my anvil, and I don't know of anybody who could move it on their own, save a Badger Lord."

Wolf grinned and half carried, half drug the crate over to the bank along with Bruce. He sat next to it panting lightly for a few minutes before grabbing a quick drink from the stream and heading back for the other crate.
