As Clodius finishes his compote licking the insides of the bottle: "Oy count me in! Might aswell get a few more notches to my belt before I belly up of old age! Nyehehe!"
Clodius follows the barkeep saying: "Be assured I'm not of the stealing type. By the way, we haven't been introduced properly, my name is Clodius and what are your names?" He extends a hand towards the Elf and the Barkeep in an awkward cross position.
Kathleen giggles a bit at Clodius' unique style of handshaking. "I'm Kathleen Burns. Nice to be traveling with you, Mr. Clodius" Kathleen shakes the man's hand in a grip that is neither too firm nor too weak.
Kathleen is visibly excited at that news. "Great. Can we go now?"
As Clodius finishes his compote licking the insides of the bottle: "Oy count me in! Might aswell get a few more notches to my belt before I belly up of old age! Nyehehe!"
"Your funeral, I suppose. Follow me out back."
The barkeep jump-slides over the bar and walks out the door.
He peeks his head back in for just a moment.
"DON'T STEAL ANYTHING!"
And he's gone.

"I just go by Barkeep, these days."
Out behind the bar is a small dock with a single 10' long skiff. Barkeep hops aboard and picks up a long wooden pole from the side of the boat.

Clodius nods: "Well met! Now let's hop on this dinghy shall we!"
He sees the Barkeep grab a pole and does the same.
Kathleen also gets on board the boat. She asks Clodius "So what brings you here?"
"Pick up a pole and start rowing. I can't row this boat by myself."

Kathleen begins rowing.
Barkeep also begins rowing, and I shall assume that Clodius does as well.
The skiff floats through the swamp, and all is well for about an hour until it suddenly gets stuck on something under the water.
"I think we've hit some mud or a tree."
He pokes his pole into the obstruction.
"Mud, definitely."

Kathleen asks, "How can we clear the mud?"
"I'll just push the raft free, I suppose."
Barkeep hops off of the raft and into the knee-deep mud.
Before he can start pushing, however, the boat is rocked violently.
Make a dexterity saving throw.
