Seeing as none of her passengers express an interest in visiting the chai ferry Helga sets off again bright and early next morning. They crew exchange waves and greetings with the small folk on the ferry, then continue down stream, doing little more that float on the current.
It is only a couple of miles before Helga steers across to a small tributary and the crew bring out long poles to guide the small ship upstream. It is slow going, and there are places where the river is very narrow, other where it is only just deep enough, and it takes an hour of hard work before Jovvox comes into view.
Jovvox is a small, walled town and looks as if it could once have been a military outpost, although Helga tells you that it was once a fortified monastery and probably dedicated to Torag. Now it is home to many 'small folk' (Gnomes and Halflings) and a few large folks (Mainly Human). The old forges of Torag are still put to good use, and the gnomes and their assistants are renowned for making weapons. Often not the best quality weapons, but they can make them quickly and like to sell them in bulk.
The town itself has a plethora of multi-coloured flags flying from each of the towers that you can see.
Eventually, Helga brings The Lady of the Lake alongside one of the jetties, and throws a line across to some halflings - who help to moor the vessel.
