Gal is also feeling good, if you want to keep pushing onward, you could have Neth or Jimjar join in, or Stena or Lia try to push on through their exhaustion. Or you could try to find a place to stop for the 'night'.

Lia hands off her oar to Neth, who helps Galingal pole onward a bit longer, to find a spot that widens into an eddying alcove at the point of a bend. They navigate the boat through the throat of the alcove, and settle it in to rest.
Galingal takes first watch, and it's towards the end of his time before wanting to trance that he hears splashing of rapid paddling coming from the direction that the party had been coming from.

((KT's look much the same to the untrained eye, but at a glance, it's not any of the ones you spend prolonged time with, ie, Shuushar, Ploop or Gloog. Can make a check if you'd like, History at disadvantage?))

To Lia, they look to be dressed less like travelers and more like civilians... perhaps fleeing Sloobludop? The big one looks vaguely familiar...
flash to Beer Room, interior:
Jimjar is returning to the table and over his shoulder Lia notices a big KT trip and fall, then seem to wake up and climb back to their feet and order another round. She notes in passing that one of the barbels on his chin is shorter than the other, as the longer one dangles against the bone and shell necklaces strung around his neck.

While you debate what to do, the KT in the back looks up and sees you peering at them, and starts back paddling frantically, the one in the front turns to yell at them, then spots you as well, they both yelp and jump overboard into the water.

“They’re just civilians… fleeing the city. I recognise one. I think… From the tavern…”, whispers Lia. “Just leave them be. They are scared and alone…”. She relaxes a little, looking tired.
No sooner does Stena say that than the KT peer over the side of their boat at the party, when suddenly the smaller one is yanked under. The big one gurbles and flees, swimming for your boat.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Galingal scans the water for what might have caused the KT to be pulled under. He grabs one of the poles, considering whether to push the one KT back away from the boat or not.
Perception: 7

Gal shakes his head as he sees Lia ready to drop from exhaustion as well.
"Could push on," Galingal says. "But if enemy around corner, all tired is dangerous. Should rest."
(Voting for anchoring/tying up at the next 'wide' spot and risking a proper rest).

Galingal moves quickly to the side of the boat the sound is coming from, tapping the others awake as he does, pointing in the direction of the sound.
He peers as intently as he can into the dark to get a glimpse of what's coming.
Perception: 25
Lia groggily stands and grabs her lyre, emerging reluctantly back up on deck.

Stena rises and blearily reaches for her bow as she steps out into the faint glow and looks where Gal is.
((Still light ya? How far is sight and does it extend to the mouth of the alcove?))
Galingal attempts to peer into the dark, but fails to find much, as the whole tunnel is still lit up in a soft green glow.
Shortly a KT dugout crewed by a pair of KT paddles into view. They haven't noticed the party as of yet.

Lia squints at the KT for a second. She could swear she recognised one for a moment. Maybe it was nothing…

Stena squints at the two and yawns, relaxing her grip on her bow. She dismissively says,
"Just KT?"
She stifles another yawn as she listens for other sounds.
Perception: 7
Remembering KT attack in groups if they do, Galingal swings his gaze around to make sure there's no where for someone to sneak up on them from behind.
"Should call to them," Galingal suggests. "Make them keep back."
While you debate what to do, the KT in the back looks up and sees you peering at them, and starts back paddling frantically, the one in the front turns to yell at them, then spots you as well, they both yelp and jump overboard into the water.

"Fine. Don't invite them abroad."
She looks mostly at Lia for that last bit before turning back to get more sleep.
No sooner does Stena say that than the KT peer over the side of their boat at the party, when suddenly the smaller one is yanked under. The big one gurbles and flees, swimming for your boat.
