Swamped

It suddenly strikes you that the Bogknights have a barge that is considerably better than any other transportation you're likely to find out here. You briefly muse on the idea of stealing it, but quickly abandon the thought; it's well-guarded and you have no idea how to operate it anyhow. Not to mention all the attention it would draw, and the two of you couldn't possibly fight off a boarding party on your own.

But, as you recall from your assault, the barge has a lifeboat on it. That would be considerably easier to take, and less conspicuous out on the water.

"We're heading to the docks," you say, dragging Shorty along.

Your name is Tom. Tom Ninth, more specifically, because there's a lot of Toms here and they need a way to tell them apart.

You've had a rough load of work lately, and tonight is no exception. You're on night watch for the barge.

It's usually a boring job, but tonight you're hearing a lot of noises and seeing a lot of lights shining outside. There might be an actual intruder for once, which means you've got to keep watch in case they decide to steal or sabotage the barge.

Might be good to prepare for a break-in attempt. What can you do right now?
