The rain ceased and the column moved despite soft ground!
Dagna our guest from Scagnar stuck to the Ubara like bosk glue.
The River of Tears lived up to it's name once again, but was crossed successfully despite damages and some loss of life.
Several wagons lost their steps from beneath the rear of their wagon platforms, Sidona, Dragonslair, and the main med wagon to name a few in the main area's wagons.
Nearly all wagons took water over their platforms to varying degrees. No major damage has been reported due to this.
Izee lost one team bosk and it had to be cut free. Warriors with their ropes assisted and got her wagon to the North side with the remaining bosk worn out but nothing a good rest and feed will not cure.
Siren {RgR} saw to it her sleen Shred and the med chamber of Dragonslair remained intact along with astrid and safyre. Prism, lure, and kadi tended the wagon commissary and other chambers.
Boi, of Ubara's Own, Companioned to Thassa was injured by floating debris, suffering a good gash to the right side of his head. He is stable in the med chamber and the wound packed off until swelling goes down enough to suture and he regains consciousness enough for a full evaluation.
The Ubara's mount took a spill taking Dagna's and Merkid's along with it. Sukh dismounted grabbing a kaiila chain mounted to its ring on Dragonslair's wagon platform, managing to grab the Ubara by her belt. The Ubara in turn grabbed Dagna, who grabbed onto Merkid. The current was fast and savage, and though Sukh did manage to pull them all to the wagon platform, he was injured. He is in the med chamber sedated until others more badly injured can be tended. It is believed at this time Sukh has torn his left pec muscle and suffered an injured right hand from gripping the chain. Though waterlogged, The Ubara, Dagna, and Merkid are doing well.
4th and 5th Son survived their first crossing with only minor assistance from Volund and Rollo of Ubara's Chosen. The current carried then well downriver, but the Sons still being so small did not create a top heavy situation for their mounts. Their mounts remained upright and took them across. Only making the climb from the water did they require some assistance.
Budikai of Ubara's Own made it across by grabbing onto a passing wagon after a binding chain broke free releasing a large water barrel from a wagon, which struck he and his mount toppling and dismounting Budikai. His mount was found later in fair condition.
Gosta of Ubara's Chosen suffered a broken left arm while assisting Gem in crossing after her mount's legs became entangled in harness straps beneath the surface from either the Paravaci or Kassar crossing before us. Gem and her mount are well enough despite Gem trying to swallow half the river water. Much to Gosta's credit, he did not make a sound when his arm snapped, and continued on with his duty as he saw it until reaching the Northern bank. He too is in the med chamber. Gem was returned to her Mother Sidona.
Two wagons were rolled in the current and of both young families, only a very young Son has been recovered as of this reporting. Losses here were both Mothers and five Children total, one bosk, other various stock, and two wagons destroyed. The Fathers are listed among the 43 missing Warriors total thus far.
Izee's Son Gunnar is also missing. Asgar and his Unit are searching for survivors along the Southern bank as Tristan and his Orlu search along the Northern side.
Ubara's girl flame is among others missing, being lost while guiding Dragonslair's team during the start of the crossing.
Izee's wagon suffered rear axle damage upon inspection and will have to go to The Point for repairs. Hopefully it will hold to get there. It has been temporarily wrapped with wet rawhide and soaked leather straps to dry and shrink tight around the fractured axle.
The main med wagon has had planks temporarily put in place as a ramp onto the wagon platform. It is host to 33 patients as of this reporting. Injuries range from lacerations and abrasions to broken bones.
Beorn's wagon is in fair condition after losing a portion of the ride side railing and a sagging dome due to a support lashing on the framework breaking under the buffeting of the current shaking the wagon. The interior took some water as it washed over the platform, but it is nothing meira can not remedy in a couple days time.
A few herd bosk were lost, and an accurate accounting will be made within the next few days.
Reports have not yet come in from the other med wagons, and the perimeter areas.
Currently the column has stopped to rest, repair, and get some good food in bellies. We will attempt to move on come daylight.
We are almost to our wintering lands.
The air is nice and warm, but the River was cold!
End report
Ragnar
