Buppido throws the tiller to one side, and Lia scoops and rows, managing to send the boat lurching far enough to the side to avoid the stone teeth entirely. You continue onward, the second shift taking over, where Ranador spots a carcass of a huge crustacean bobbing on the surface of the water. Four of the fish men you'd fought previously are perched on it, bellies distended with crab meat, and they glare lazily at the boat as you pass beneath the glowing fungal ceiling in this chamber, seemingly too full on their recent feast to pursue. Jimjar laments the missed opportunity for fresh meat.

You continue onward, the constant vigilance these past weeks growing weary. You enter a series of long, winding tunnels, barely enough room to comfortably navigate through with your boat, and you're constantly on alert for encountering another boat, or creature looking to attack you. The tunnels are well lit by lichens clinging to the ceiling, and perhaps its the dim glow that keeps some of the nastier things that go bump in the dark at bay, as you encounter nothing that poses a threat.
However, the tunnels keep going on and on and on, and you're getting weary, and in need of a stop soon.
Do you want to just anchor in the middle of the passage here? Continue on and hope that you reach the other end before you push yourselves over into exhaustion?

Galingal takes over on oars for Stena, and you push on another hour, finding only more winding, glowing tunnel, though some points do open up a bit wider, with what look to be alcoves and short side passages.
Buppy CON: 15

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
He seems wide awake and ready to crew for a whole 'nother shift. Lia, on the other hand, nearly lets her pole-oar slip out of her hands and overboard, snagging it at the last moment, then nearly dropping it again as she stifles a yawn.
((Lia has 1 level of Exhaustion, going to roll for Gal too: 17))
You are still in the winding tunnels, they show no signs of stopping.

"Leave it Jimjar. Well spotted Ranador."
Just another tense day on the dark waters of the lake.
Galingal watches the fishy-bois, as the boat passes by, letting his gaze linger on them until they're well out of sight.
"Meat not worth the fight," Galingal adds, agreeing with Stena.
Perception if needed while 'on-duty': 15

Stena says,
"We can't stay here. Too obvious to anything coming. Aye'll take another round on the poles."
Lia joins Stena silently on the poles/oars.

Buppido volunteers to take the rudder when Stena volunteers to crew an oar.
You push on for another hour, and are still amongst the glowing tunnels.

Buppy still seems alert, his eyes flitting back to the visible Stena in between guiding the boat around turns and bends.

Stena does her best to ignore Buppy's attention.
Stena gives a start as she realizes her eyes were closed.
((One level of exhaustion to Stena.))

Galingal opens his eyes from the short rest he was taking to see how exhausted Stena is.
He approaches her and quietly says "Go sleep. No good if can't keep eyes open."
Galingal will help the others if needed to get the boat to a more secluded spot where they can rest properly.

Stena blinks away the sleep as Galingal approaches. She is about to argue but yawns instead.
"Wake meh if there is anything."
Galingal takes over on oars for Stena, and you push on another hour, finding only more winding, glowing tunnel, though some points do open up a bit wider, with what look to be alcoves and short side passages.
