Take a swim

Against your better judgement, you enter where the water rises to your neck and begin to paddle around. Dwarves are a powerful race but not necessarily meant for swimming. To an onlooker, they would likely think you were fighting to stay above water. And yet the water proves even more cool and refreshing with your entire body submerged now. You continue practicing some basic swimming techniques as time gets away from you. Turning to head back to shore, alarm bells start ringing in your mind. The river’s current has pulled you much farther from shore than expected. You seem to be floating in the dead center of the river. You can no longer see the rock atop of which you left your bedroll. Further thoughts are interrupted by your aching muscles which have begun to grow fatigued. Unable to suppress your fear, panic kicks in and you begin paddling as hard as possible to get back to shore. The fatigue worsens as your vision begins to blacken. The last thing you feel before losing consciousness is cold water as it submerges your entire body.
