"What's... The issue?" FOG brings up, weakly, seeming acutely aware how useless he was in the situation being as blind as a bat. "Is there an issue with the water in the boat? If I could see where the leak is, I think I could patch it-"
Lia fishes out a bauble and helps the old guy back to the cabin, lighting it up for him, but cautioning him to keep it covered as much as possible. She rummages around and finds a blanket that he can make a well lit fort inside.

Stena and Gal try to shove against the rock to halt the boat... and they manage to do so, but not in the way they intended, the backend swiveling around and grinding against the the opposite wall, before lurching to a halt with a creak of timber. The sound of rushing water intensifies on the upstream side as it gurgles around and under the hull.
FOG would be able to see what's happening via his new light source.
((Boat is ~20 ft wide and ~50 ft long.))

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Galingal look at the ends of the boat now wedged crosswise in the tunnel, making a sort of weir, and just nods.
He then looks to the edges of the tunnel to see if there are any ledges or outcroppings they might be able to use to abandon ship and head back to find which route Buppido may have taken.
The nose of the boat shifts, grinding against stone. It would seem it's potentially un-stuckable, but is possibly likely to get more damaged or more stuck the more time passes.

FOG hears some grunting, clacking, and possibly what sounds like swears in various languages.
((Gal can help Stena.))

"Sit down old man."
Stena snaps as she grunts to stop the boat.

FOG slumps down dejectedly.
Lia fishes out a bauble and helps the old guy back to the cabin, lighting it up for him, but cautioning him to keep it covered as much as possible. She rummages around and finds a blanket that he can make a well lit fort inside.

FOG profusely thanks Lia again, using the light only in quick, cautious glances.
(Would he see the group struggling with the boat? How big is the boat?)

FOG mumbles under his breath, looking for where the hull got damaged.
"All the hammers in Moradin's forge."
Stena curses. She looks back upstream then around at the rest of the people on the boat. A rare look of indecisiveness crossing her face.
Galingal look at the ends of the boat now wedged crosswise in the tunnel, making a sort of weir, and just nods.
He then looks to the edges of the tunnel to see if there are any ledges or outcroppings they might be able to use to abandon ship and head back to find which route Buppido may have taken.

It might not be easy, but Gal thinks he sees a route along the side, though it may involve clinging and leaping from wet stalagmite to stalagmite.

Galingal looks at the others and points out the makings of what might be a way back to where Buppido may have broken off.
"Boat is stuck. We should go." Galingal says.
The nose of the boat shifts, grinding against stone. It would seem it's potentially un-stuckable, but is possibly likely to get more damaged or more stuck the more time passes.

Slamming a fist down on the railing Stena turns to Jimjar and demands,
"Can ye get us to Gracklstugh without Buppido?"
If the answer is an affirmative she will tell everyone, with only a bit of a hitch in her voice,
"They're gone. Right this floating wreck."
She'll then set about doing that.
If it's a negative she'll need to assess Galingal's option away.
Jimjar hesitates slightly. "I'm not well familiar with this route, but I know we should be close. I think I can get us there."

Galingal looks from Stena to Jimjar and back and then at the boat.
"Buppido has safe way into city," Galingal says. "Maybe boat way not safe."

"We're taking the boat if we can. Not worth risking a maybe route."
Galingal looks at Jimjar for a long moment.
"Buppido has always been up to something," Galingal says.
But he nods at the risk of even finding the route the derro took.
He braces himself and pushes hard against the wall of the tunnel with a pole to help the more athletic Stena get the boat dislodged.
