Beware a Bored GM

Your log hits the pool and sends a huge spray of water in all directions!
s
A wave of water comes over the edge of the carved log! With a combination of dread and excitement, you watch as it heads to your left...and splashes into you, getting you completely soaked!
s
Damp trickles of water drip from the ends of your hair.
s
You hear a cackling laughter from nowhere!
s
The log boat floats back down a stream. The loading dock comes into view and as the log gets up next to it, a ride operator places a pole in the water in front of the log, bringing it to a stop.
s
A large drop of water drips from your chin.
s
Thick runnels of water dribble down your face and pool around your collar bone.
s
A voice yells, "Ha, ha! You're all wet!"
s
The attendant helps you out of the log and back onto the dock.

[Water Flume, Unloading Dock]
Soggy people stand about this unloading dock, talking in excited tones about their trip through the flumes. Puddles of water form everywhere, and wet footsteps lead out to the main hall.
Obvious paths: out

Water drips from the bottom of your breeches, dribbling down your legs and causing you to shiver.

Your knee-boots slosh wetly, dripping water into damp pools around your feet.

Except for a bit of slight dampness here and there, you are nearly dry.

You chortle.

...

[Fairgrounds, Intersection]
The muddy path forms a crossroads here, leading off into a corner of the pasture to the northwest and meandering into a wooded area to the northeast. Southwest leads into open pasture, and southeast into the center of the festival. You also see a tall pine-framed mirror, a food cart with some stuff on it, a smelly food stand and an enormous silk tent.
Obvious paths: northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest
