Through the woods and over the River

The Three Wanderers continued on for about an hour and soon
Came upon Clemm string on a fallen Spruce.
The river could be heard faintly behind him through a brak in the forest.
" Took you long enough, good thing we're not in no hurry" he mumbled.
" We came out bout half mile from the Tower" he said in a low voice.
It was late afternoon and overcast, they needed
To scout the area for a place that they could cross the river
They also needed a plan.
