ridding themselves of some noxious vermin
"This is a rare opportunity to rid ourselves of some noxious vermin"
that sounds like fun!
Vermin
I am sure that we haven't heard the last of the 'vermin' of the river. Life is about to get interesting.

Dogs have owners; cats have staff. Grand-daughters have minions.
At this point, I don't know
At this point, I don't know if the crew of the Visund would know what to do with themselves if it didn't
One of the things about
One of the things about vermin near water - they breed rapidly, both two and four legged varieties.
At least in this case, many of the vermin on land are going to quickly find themselves 'rat onna stick', now that their protection has disappeared.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

Love the Pratchett reference. May Pterry still be writing somewhere upstairs
Space Quest
You've never come across 'orat on a stick' from Space Quest? I think that well dates Terry Pratchett.
Dogs have owners; cats have staff. Grand-daughters have minions.
"The Colour of Magic" was
"The Colour of Magic" was 1983. "The Light Fantastic" was 1986. Space Quest started in 1986, and went through 1995.

well they do have a few
well they do have a few pistols they could show to explain guns
Fractured
The lands of the Upper Sirrel appear to be broken into as many pieces as the Balkans Somewhere Else Entirely.
guns
thinking of it, spending 2 of the pistol rounds for demonstrations may be prudent, 3 if only to use the opportunity to allow all those in their party with them to get some limited range time, a basic target shot, with sandbags behind, both to demonstrate relative speed and accuracy, while at the same time demonstrating how to stop the bullets, one carcass shot, to demonstrate both the damage and so that Ursula can demonstrate how to treat gunshot wounds, depending on the armor used, they may do armor shot, the pistols should be able to go through hardened leather, without risk of ricochet.
Except for the sophomores
News travels at the speed of riverboat.this would make a heck of a five o'clock news story .
semaphores you mean? (auto
semaphores you mean? (auto correct got you)
Primitive Lands
Eriana and party seems to be sailing through dangerous waters all the way up the river. Yod isn't the only nation wishing to take what isn't theirs. Everyone must meet with a blade in hand to make sure they are able to leave with their life. More men, more ships, more arms wouldn't have necessarily helped as it would be more supplies would be needed at each port unless fishing provided the necessary food.
Hope she and her crew and passengers make it back home.
