You're welcome.

I don't recall if the Hyperborea text goes into that or not.

It's really 1e DMG memories/knowledge. Part of the "assumed knowledge" back in the day that Gygax had note. Not everyone was a wargamer, Gary. ;-)

Ugh!

Votin swings again but the beastmen are far better trained than the self taught orphan. The regal beastman laughs at the young boy's inexperience and hefts what looks to be a long headless metal spear shaft above his head to strike. The savage beastman suddenly lunges forward and pushes the young barbarian aside. "No!" it grunts as it takes the full fury of the blow. Its cranium spilts wide on impact and blood and detritus and brain matter cover the boy!

ooc: hope it works out for Votin.

Kondor just gets rid of the wrecked boots and rations. Everything else is light enough or too important to throw out.

Roger that

The blast came from the melee behind Kondor.
Kondor frantically starts throwing out useless things [Kondor please list for me beyond the boot and the food]
And he's relieved that its the cleric who's boarded the damaged canoe. As he jumps inside the next. 
Satisfied that his compatriots are aboard, Tillak pushes out the third. And the three adventurers dig the oars into the swirling current.

30 yards up the embankment a caterwaul cuts through the din.
And an armored man climbs to his feet between two beastmen and raises a mighty battle axe!
