I'm going to submit this at 6 without objection:


Our tallest guys, npcs Festas and Imada, run to get the POLES and ROPE and brings them to the well. Festas then carefully uses one pole to check the depth of the water. Imada swims to the opposite side of the water and he and Festas set the 11' poles across the well to form a bridge to roll the barrel across. They will hold the poles in place until the barrel gets there.

Meanwhile, Chesapeake runs to get the RAFT and carries it to the barrel. Schmidty, npc Uoya, myself and Danny lay the barrel on the raft. We each pick up a corner and carry it to the well. If the raft tears, Schmidty and Uoya carry it. Once the barrel is at the well, tie the ROPE around it.

Also meanwhile, CR and DT are responsible for getting the cubes across the water and to the wall. They will set up all six as stairs leading up to the gap. Both DT and CR run to the well as soon as the barrell gets there.

When the barrel is at the well, Chesapeake swims across the water with the RAFT and takes over securing the far end of the pole bridge from Imada. Uoya will be responsible for securing the near end of the pole bridge, taking over for Festas.

If the water is <6 feet:
Our tall guys, Imada and Festas, get in the water and stand under the poles, facing each other in the middle, about 3" apart. Imada, on the far side, braces the poles from underneath. Festas stays low.

Make sure the rope on the barel is secure. Schmidty and Danny carefully put the barrel on the bridge while Uoya secures that end. Once the barrel is on the bridge, Schmidty gets into the water. Danny throws the rope we tied around the barrel, to CR.

Danny gets into the water too. Schmidty and Danny, since they can stand, can help to carefully guide the barrel across while CR and DT pull on the rope. As the barrel gets close to Imada, Festas stands up and braces the poles from behind the barrel so that Imada can get out of the way.

If the water >6 feet:

Even Imada and Festas are probably not tall enough to brace the poles, so we try the bridge and hope for the best. Tall guys stay in the water and help to guide the barrel as best they can. Danny and Schmidty swim across to help pull or go prep the stairs as needed. Otherwise, it all goes as stated earlier.

IF THE BARREL FALLS INTO THE WATER, Chesapeake, CR and DT pull it out of the water using the rope on the far side as our guys in the water help guide it out and lift as they are able.

Once the barrel is on the other side, we take the rope off and put it on the RAFT that Chesapeake laid out. Uoya and Schmidty swim over. Chesapeake, DT, Imada and Uoya each take a corner and carry the barrel, on the raft to the wall.

Festas takes the ROPE and runs ahead with it to the wall, together with Danny, Schmidty and Festas. Festas, being the tallest, is tasked with trying to tie the ROPE around the bar above the wall. The other 3 need to make sure the stairs up are ready. When that is done, all 4 climb over the wall, lowering themselves down safely using the rope.

When the 4 carrying the barrel reach the stairs, they take the barrel off the RAFT. Imada will shove the RAFT over the wall to the other 4 waiting on the other side.

The 4 now with the raft hold it up waiting for the barrel to come over. The 4 with the barrel push it over the wall to the other side.

Ideally, CR and company catch the barrel in the raft and take it to the finish line. If they don't catch it, use the raft if it is still intact. If not, as many of the 4 that can carry it will do so.
