Live Bait
The Live Bait is a smuggler's cutter which makes regular runs between River's Rest and Solhaven. The cutter is captained by Knaydl.
In River's Rest, the cutter docks underneath the drawbridge, which is through the patch of weeds. In Solhaven, the cutter docks at a pier in Marshtown. The Live Bait began these runs as a response to the destruction of a magical portal between River's Rest and Wehnimer's Landing, in 5102.
In addition to their smuggling operations, Knaydl's crew also runs a small gambling outfit on board the cutter. The illicit cockroach races featuring the finest racing roaches in the lands... or so the shipmate who runs the races claims. Though, he also admits the "finest food" that he feeds them is little more then his week old rations. Gamblers might want to keep a wary eye on this shady character.
Passage for passengers can be arranged via Percy in the Stone Eye in River's Rest or via the locksmith's shop in Marshtown.
The Live Bait makes the round trip between Marshtown and River's Rest roughly once per hour. Unlike the Glaesen Star and the Chronomage system, but like the Locksmehr River and Lake of Fear ferries, there is no waiting area.
