[Lunna]

We are getting real close to kick-off for this one.

There are a few things I have noticed from the sheets that need a bit of sorting before we get there. Please have a look.

Amended. Forgot to add armour bonus.

Zefarrel uses her magic boots to rise out of the water. As she does so, she will grab Grossphil if possible. Once she has grabbed him, she will scream at him: Kick you legs like you are swimming to propel us to shore!!

I find the image this evokes both ridiculous and delightful.

Yes, I'm picturing Grossphil flailing his stick legs with Zefarrel screaming in his ear all the while thinking "how did he survive this long"
Now Pumfrey is in trouble.
Maybe our super nice DM will allow Pumfrey a Con check to see if he can hold out a little while.

[OGRE MAGE]

What, like a system shock roll?

I will allow those who made it safely to shore to attempt a rescue of any stragglers, (same rolls will apply) but lets see what happens with Mac first.

[Rex]

Sounds good, Elitir will make an attempt once we get know Mac's situation.

[scottjen]

OM: Pumfrey is really light and we would still be within what I can levitate weight-wise. Could Grossphil stop kicking for a bit so Pumfrey grab his legs?

[OGRE MAGE]

Hold on folks!

Let me get the next post up before we get too far ahead of ourselves.

[Alethan]

Hold on folks!

NOOO!!! Go! Go! Go! Go!

[OGRE MAGE]

Whew!!!

Ok, done!

Now, who wants to start out the game as a hero?

[OGRE MAGE]

Normal Strength Check (16) [3d6] = 10

Finnigan makes his way to Mac, feeling not at all like a dwarf in water, with minimal effort and drags the robed mage to shore.

Perfect!

Thank you!

[OGRE MAGE]

Ok folks.....

Intro is nearly over. We are about to start this thing off, for real.

Before we get any further, I have one request.

This adventure will require one party member to act as the "mapper". (at least for the first few rooms, anyway)

Any volunteers?

(I think I remember Alethan saying something about players doing the mapping in another game that he is in, but I am not exactly sure how that actually works.)

I think the way it works is the mapper gets one extra magic item for taking on the task?

Or... that's just what I've heard.

But wait, we shouldn't need a mapper! The captain said not to go into any doors; just find them and report back to him! Or... wait, I'm not even sure if the ship is still floating. That might not be a concern anymore...

[OGRE MAGE]

What Captain?

[scottjen]

Mapping: IF no one else volunteers, I could do it.

I don't mind mapping, but it would involve graph paper and a pencil so not sure how anyone else would view it.

That sounds like something I would say!

Is that an offer?

If nobody wants to do it, it isn't a deal breaker or anything. We will get by with my boring hand drawn graph paper maps.

[ChubbyPixie]

I would love to, but might not be able to keep up, realistically.

You have a cell phone? Take a picture. Post it as an attachment here.

Well, even I could do that! (I might take you up on it if I get no other prospects)

I would love to, but might not be able to keep up, realistically.

If you really want to give it a try, it shouldn't be too taxing time wise.

I will give you all the time you need, actually.

It isn't like we will be racing from room to room here.

If it turns out that it isn't working, I will just take over as the mapper. It is really only necessary to have a PC doing it initially.
