How's the water in the Great Sea? ...how risky is it to jump off the docks? (Water temperature—probably COLD—aside, I mean. It's still autumn in Chantes, right?) Are boats still coming in, or has the darkness impeded trade?

If swimming at/around the docks isn't possible, are there other routes to open water around Odette?

Re: money, as mentioned above. Is the money ALASTAIR gives its employees meant to last the whole mission, or is it inevitable for it to trickle away and the 'recruits' should try to get jobs/find a way to keep their rooms and get food?
