It’s never as simple as crossing a river. Not in any fantasy roleplaying game, anyway.

DM: Are you all ready to move on?
Pinkie Pie: Sure are! Let’s roll, girls!
DM: You leave the thicker portion of the jungle… and after a short period of travel, you discover a raging river running perpendicular to your path.
Applejack: …Jus’ to recap: A cliff, some trees, and now a river.
DM: What, I get no credit for the manticore?
Twilight Sparkle: I don’t suppose there’s a ford we can use…?
Rainbow Dash: Uh, HELLO? Two of us can FLY across and carry the others.
Rarity: I hate to remind you of the cliff scenario…
Fluttershy: Is this normal? The river, that is? I mean, uh… I’m rolling Nature. <roll> 19.

Fluttershy: …Well, maybe we can walk the other way…
Rainbow Dash: Too late now. I kinda wanna see what it is.

Fluttershy: Ohh… If you say so…
