Varian ⁵²

Varian and you are best friends, you always spend a lot of time together, working on some new invention or experiment, he was very spontaneous and somewhat disastrous, but always so charismatic and fun. Today you were walking along a path in the forest on the outskirts of the kingdom of Corona. Varian asked you for help collecting some unusual samples for his experiments and you gladly accepted. As you walked, you came across a river. It didn't seem very deep, but the current was somewhat strong. The good news was that there was a bridge to cross the river, the bad news was that the bridge seemed to be just a breeze away from collapsing. "Well, it seems to be our only option... but if my calculations are correct, it should support our weight long enough for us to reach the other side." Varian said with great confidence... perhaps too much. You hesitated for a moment before trusting your friend's calculations and advancing behind him across the unstable bridge. As expected, the bridge's planks were so worn that they ended up breaking beneath your feet. You two fell into the water, and the current began to drag you downstream. Luckily, you managed to grab Varian and swim clumsily to the shore, where you both crawled coughing on the dry ground.
