He had the VQ's sister ship and got about halfway down river before marauders nailed him.

About the same but without the heavy weapons, military personnel, or any real idea of what he was getting into.

Old Adam's cargo
 

Anybody want to take a swing at the contents of the barge the Krolova is pushing? Some of the bicycles he took on commission from the Krakow factory? SOme of Wojo's products? Medicines (probably) or food?
This is a great opportunity to place Easter Eggs to surprise the pc's and amaze the Black Baron.
Did I mention the M88 Hercules ARV that got obscured behind that pile of fuel-wood...?:rolleyes:

Back from the depths
 

This may seem a little far-fetched, but what do you think of an attempt by Adam et.al to raise the Rzieka, patch the hull to make her adequately watertight, and tow/push her back upriver to Sandomierz (IIRC) or downriver to Praga's shipyard? if she had sunk before her hull burned too much, the superstructure could be rebuilt on it, the engines replaced, and she could rejoin the Rataj merchant fleet.
-Or-
She could be cut down and remade into an armored gunboat, a la the CSS Virginia. Let's see the Korsarz deal with that!
