Shadowgate
Torch steadied in hand, you traverse along the battered cavern floor towards the thrashing boat.
Through careful footwork, you reach the dock and its prisoner. Climbing atop the soft wooden structure, you concentrate as the rope maneuvers between your wet fingers. Holding the torch high over your head, you fumble with the rope continuously around the post. Ice cold water splashes heedlessly over you as you finally untie the heavy knot. The quaint wooden boat hauls and thrusts as you labor to pull it towards you.
With fantastic timing, you leap into your ship, rope and all. The torch barely damp, you adjust yourself as the boat twists forward violently through the malevolent current. Gripping the edge firmly, you shuttle down the white water towards a narrow water-swept crevice.
Within mere seconds, your vessel plunges headlong into the walls. Clapping your body against the boat floor, you focus on holding the torch high above you. Your beacon of hope flashes and surges through the cavern as the river water relentlessly propels the boat onward.
You round a sharp corner, thrusting you into the cavern wall. You curse fluently as the torch falls from your rattled hand. With a sizzle heard over the thundering rapids, you throw yourself to the bottom of the boat in the unforgiving darkness.
Seizing hold of the wooden seat with both hands, you brace yourself in the midst of the watery storm.
