Only one thing though... if there is no-one in town, how will we man the rafts? and most importantly... if they all escaped (which is what I assume has happened, unless we find the village torched down) wouldn't the rafts be on the other side of the river?

I have an idea for this problem. The raft would be a bit bigger than one we may imagine, more like a small barge? It would be rigged to a pulley system of sorts. Your group reaches the river and one member, maybe two at a time with horses, would ride the raft and pull themselves across. The people waiting back on the other side to cross would use the pulley to get the raft to them for the next person(s) . Think of it as a clothes line, pretty much the same concept. Yes, no?
