As your party approaches the ancient river crossing, you see a crude wooden sign and collection box tacked to a dead tree that reads "BRIDGE 10gp TO CROSS". After some debate the chaotic evil dudes prevail and you ignore the sign and proceed down the road to the crossing. As you draw close to the bridge <roll Spot check> you notice that although it appears constructed out of planks and nails it is in fact a single piece of timber cleverly artificed into a bridge shape.

ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!
