Aiden looked over at the mention of snakes. If they were poisonous, it could pose a problem, but other than that, they were just a annoying. besides, most snakes would run before standing their ground. "Hmmm," he tought aloud, "I guess that could have been what I saw in the river last night." He flipped the boat over and set a branch under to hold it up.

"I think we may be fine holding off for a moment longer. Honestly, even while this rain sucks, its still providing pure water to drink, unlike what we know of the river. for now I would suggest collecting it in something for later. or letting some clean cloth soak it up and drink from it. Drinking river water downsteam from a large town is never a good idea." He the started looking around for nearby branches. "While y'all do that, I'm going to see if I can make us some makeshift weapons until we can find something better."
