Rinn: As you wade into the stream you find out two things. First, the river bed is only about three feet deep. Second, the current is strong.
You gets your feet swept out from under you and take a dunk. The current pulls tightly to the shore though and you are quickly washed downstream about fifteen feet and right yourself in about a foot of water near the bank.
With the light from Blaire's war hammer, you can clearly see the two foot wide mushroom tops on the island about ten to fifteen feet from shore nearly parallel to the base of the cave entrance path. You're now downstream of the party.
Various is heading toward the cave entrance path.
Eli is saying something about staying together.
Blaire is trying to ask if your alright will laughing so hard she looks like she's going to fall into the water herself. Dex 20
(OOC - so did Rinn make it to the island to get the mushrooms already? Or was he washed downstream prior to pocketing some mushrooms?)
Rinn was washed down stream as he entered the main current before he got to the island. I'm wondering, if he gets to the island, how is he going to pocket two feet wide HUGE mushroom caps? LOL!

(OOC - if they're that big, he'd just slice off a chunk.)
Rinn takes out his rope & fastens it to an arrow for a makeshift grappling hook. He fires it at the mushrooms in order to aid his traverse across (Shortbow Shot: 12).
While you didn't have the strength to fight the current that caught you by surprise, having a slight anchor causes your body to be pulled downstream and across the current without getting pulled under it. The other side of the main stream, north (the direction of the forest downstream) and west (the direction of the opposite shore) are very gently touched by a calm flow. You can easily wade to the island from this west side of the main current.
Ikki, the Gnome asks, "What's a shapechanger?", slightly loosening his stance, "Well, it's a creature that changes shapes and might have eaten one of our fellows."
Various, you hear this last part shouted our as you come up along side Ikki.
Eli your about halfway up the path.
Rinn, Blaire's cursing at you, as is becoming her usual, and asking, "Now, $$$$$, how are you &&&&& going to get back, **** to us?" As you make various selections from the mushrooms.
The Gnome continues loud enough to be heard over the waterfall, "There's a shapechanger!", slightly loosening his stance, "Well, maybe! Are you with the colorful fellow?! How many guests do we have? You look tired! We're just having dinner. Are you hungry?"
As the "guard" is gushing, another Gnome comes around the corner, "Pog, You alright? What's going on?"

Rinn collects his arrow and rope, then slices off chunks of each of the mushrooms and puts them in his backpack. He then turns around to look at Blaire, "Since you're gonna stand there laughing, make yourself useful," Rinn grins as he nocks the arrow with the rope and fires it towards Blaire (Shortbow Shot: 22).
Blaire aggressively snatches the rope out of the air, wraps it around her forearm in a quick motion and hollers, "You mad scrawny &*&*&* git back ov'r so I can grind ya inta paste with dem %$#@ fungus!"
In the tunnel, Pog looks back at the Gnome who asked the question, "Nyx! I'm doing my job!"
Nyx, a Gnome waring a rich deer brown (dark pecan) ankle length long sleeved wrap dress or robe, looks to the group on the other end then back to Pog. "You're on dinner!"
Looking back to the group, "How many of you are there? We're not much for company, but we're not rude either. Are you hungry? Our shift is just sitting down for a bite. And it's easier to talk in the dinner hall round the corner."
Rinn uses the rope to get across to Blaire and the rest of the group. Once at the other side, sopping wet, he gathers up his rope and arrow and smiles at Blaire, "Haha thanks. Nothing like a swim to freshen up for our hosts after travelling on the road. Let's catch up. I want to see what the gnomes are building!" And he runs off to catch up with the others talking to the gnome guard.
The five of you are waved into the dinning area. You are introduced by Nyx to three others, Quippy, a baker, Anverth, an oil maker, Delebean a tinkeror and part-time guard. The group still has to speak loudly to be heard over the roar of the waterfall and it's clear that Pog and Nyx are most certainly the extroverts among this group.
After introduction, Nyx offers you each a portion of green mushroom and pine nut bread and asks, "Now, what's your business out here?"

She does not fall in.

Rinn's determination pays off.
While you didn't have the strength to fight the current that caught you by surprise, having a slight anchor causes your body to be pulled downstream and across the current without getting pulled under it.

Did the gnome have a response to Ikki's question?
Not, yet, we're trying to get the party to the same place in time if not space.
Seeing Rinn get out of the water Eli will continue on the path that leads to the entrance Ikki entered.

Varius hears the last part “who is eating what now? What is eating who?” He asks in a slightly disturbed but tired voice

Blaire attempts to catch the rope Rinn has shot toward her. (Dex: 2)

Ikki's neck and shoulder feathers ruffle and he clicks his beak five times. "Five of us," the bird-man says. "We're here *click* to warn you."
