The First Obstacle
The Black Void - Episode 6861

"There's a ferry from this spot during daylight hours," Usman tells us, "but of course it's not operating at this time of night. I had understood that when not in service it was kept tied up on this side, but as you can see for whatever reason it's not here. I had intended to commandeer it, so that's a blow. The nearest bridge is at least ten miles out of our way. Using it would mean a considerable delay, and I'd wanted to be well away from the vicinity of the city by first light."
"The river's no more than fifty yards wide here and there's not much current," Teran says. "If all of you girls can swim then it shouldn't be hard to cross. You'd be left with wet clothes, of course, but that can't be helped. "And Ranya's dye ought to be water-resistant," Munaf says, remembering to use my new alias. (There's no one to overhear right now, but we want the use of the name to become second nature.)
