/// Thank you for this vivid description of the colorful ways of anatid shamans. If my humakti ever meets one during our own travels in Sartar, I'll be sure to kill it before it starts warbling. Not a good kill, but my weekly kill quota will be made anyway. I hate ducks.

Some of them might even be able to help. They could sacrifice to The Stream and attempt to placate it -- usually by squawking at it very loudly for a couple of hours until the waters subside; or they could raise bridge of pebbles from the Streambed. (This is especially tiring and requires much gin. Or Clearwine. Or Greydog ale.) The ablest ones will enter a trance (read: have a snooze) before pointing out an old bridge you'd missed previously.
