Everybody is insisting that the boat ride is the problem in the garage so nobody wind play in the mist village.
I suggest something like adding oars to the boat that people can sit down at and help it go faster, that way the more people active in the village the faster the boat ride is when they go out to hunt or do dailies.
Erox said it’s slavery but it’s not forced, you wouldn’t say someone helping you water your garden is slavery when they want you to hurry up so you two can go out to eat or whatever. Rp wise the captain will make more profit from people wanting to reduce their travel time which is their payoff for a little manual labor, and he makes more profit because he is transporting more people at a faster rate. Mechanically it makes sense, since adding oars to a boat helps it go faster especially when there’s a lack of wind.
Yes, there should be a cap on how much the travel time is reduced to so it’s not a ten second ride or whatever.
