	You reach the ferry station as the vessel is leaving Š	and you are forced to leap from the jetty and cling Š	to its tailgate. The ferryman on the deck of the Š	vessel grabs your hands and helps you to climb Š	aboard. He then asks you to pay the fare of 2 Nobels Š	and your heart sinks when you remember that all your Š	money was stolen during the night. The ferryman Š	becomes impatient; he threatens to have you thrown Š	overboard if you do not stump up the fare. After some Š	arguing he finally agrees to accept one backpack item Š	in lieu of cash. (Delete from your éAction Charté one Š	Backpack item of your own choosing.)

	You settle yourself at the bow rail and look around Š	at your fellow travellers. Most appear to be Š	merchants with wagons and handcarts that are loaded Š	with goods destined for the markets of Tiklu. It is Š	short voyage of twenty miles across the strait. As Š	the ferry approaches the landing jetty, your fellow Š	passengers get ready to leave. During the Š	disembarkation, one merchant's small cart is Š	overturned and his cargo is spilled onto the shore. Š	The other merchants push past him, but you feel sorry Š	for his plight and you help to calm his carthorse and Š	retrieve his goods. He is very grateful for your Š	assistance and he offers you a ride to Tiklu aboard Š	his cart which you willingly accept.
