After bunches of maths, I found the costs for the rafting trip. Assuming that most rivers run 0-7mph, and that the Bistre and its tributaries are rather shallow (and slow) we have rafts moving about 2mph upstream, and 4mph downstream.

The whole trip should take about eight days. However, as there are some very strong people who can assist, quite strong Vampires who can pole all night, and Ravagers who don't get tired, we can make a concentrated effort to get all the way from the Brass Woods into Castle Thorn in just over two days.

This is rather out of the way for a normal cargo run. Though the Conveyors (those who secretly work for Runic) are expected to pick up a load in Headwaters, there is still an extra charge for the trip. Also, the Conveyors are ensuring that there is no trouble moving such a sizable force through Great Forks and Misty Glen. The cost for the trip is 240₲. It should be a lot more, but Mr Nuncio is well aware that Jong will want to spend time with his daughters, allotting for extra time. In other words, he's going to want some 'consideration' down the road.

The Westport crew isn't due back for 16 days. By really pushing it, this can give them nearly a week at Castle Thorn.
