You're trying to be both dramatic and fair. A character with lots of AP might find himself being drawn near some treacherous rocks (high bid), while someone who's about to drown could face a smaller challenge (you as Narrator don't really want to kill people just crossing the river).

Yes.

They could join in with their current AP -- presumably the difficult river crossing has tired them, so they might not have full AP. Of course, they'd probably have to use a different ability to help someone else (unless they want to jump in and swim again).
