Roll says... 6: Brief answer.
"It's been good so far," you say. She's probably waiting for you to go on, but you don't feel like there's much more to add.
Batstream doesn't seem to mind, because she beams and says, "Good! Shall we get onto swimming, then?"
The three of you head south for the river, and come to the branch just before the one on the border. It's perfect - deep enough to swim, but slow enough to not be a threat if you can't get your feet under you. The beach is pebbly like the border's one, but you're used to it by now.
Batstream is an excellent teacher - really, she should have an apprentice - and despite having only splashed around in puddles before now, you quickly catch on. You're not exactly amazing, but you can at least paddle, even though you don't swim strong enough to not be slowly carried downwards.
Swimming Skill +1.
After what only feels like a few minutes (though the position of the sun says at least two hours), Batstream lets you crawl out of the water and flop onto the beach to dry. You're thoroughly exhausted, and starving, but overall pleased at your progression.
Applefoot, who was lounging on the beach the entire time, congratulates you for not drowning, and Batstream takes her leave, but not before giving you a load of tips that you try to memorize all at once. She trots off, not even looking tired from swimming next to you and constantly pushing you back to the shore when you were getting too far downstream.
"Care to head back to camp?" Applefoot says, glancing your way. "You've had a busy day."
Go back to camp to eat and rest.
Keep training.
Try to catch something before heading home.
