Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
"Well, worth a try" he mutters to himself. Then to the others "Actually, the river doesn't look too hard to swim through."he says, thoughtfully "I suppose I could try it, if I took off this armor again".
He doesn't seem very happy about it, mostly due to the color of the water. He'd really like a nice bath, back at the Temple. He'd even put up with Ethin taunting him again about his sister, which only happens...oh, once a week, mostly. "The water seems calm enough."Last edited by Strawberries; 2011-04-04 at 12:36 PM.

"Not really. What little training I had growing up." he smiles. "What about you? And Llaars?"

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Llaars
The big man kneels by the water, dipping his hand in to remove some grime. "Can't say I've swam in years but I ain't afraid of no water. I'll give it a shot."

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Tie the rope around your waist, that way we can pull you back if something happens.

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
"Yes, that seems a good idea" Audric says. As Llaars kneels down, however, he begins to loosen some of the straps that keep his armor in place. He wants to be ready to go after him if there are unforeseen difficulties, and this means being able to get his armor off as quickly as possible, if needed.

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Llaars
Knowing all of their silly worrying was just in his best interest, Llaars nods and ties the rope around his waist. He tosses the other end toward Audric before making a running jump into the river.

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
The rope comes loose when Llaars hits the water, and begins to sink. Thankfully, his initial plunge seems to have worked well-his jump must have carried him over four meters, and he is already nearly a third of the way to the boat.

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Audric curses under his breath as the rope comes loose and quickly coils it back. He takes an half step forward, watching Llaars' progress, tense and ready to intervene.

Rana shakes her head and also prepares to come to Llaars' aid if necessary, making a mental note not to let him tie anything again.

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Oh come on, even I know that jumping in without having someone check the knot was rash.

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Llaars makes it to the boat without any incidents, though there was a bit of starting, stopping, and a few seconds of swimming the wrong way involved.
No threats, cephalopodesque or otherwise, seem to be near.

Llaars
"I got it!" Once he pries it free from the rocks, Llaars points it toward his waiting companions and kicks off of the rocks, hoping to speed things along.
SpoilerNot sure what kind of check this is...

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Strength is correct.
One thing becomes instantly clear: unlike swimming to the boat, you cannot just sink into a natural rhythm and swim without stress. Slow though the current is, you are swimming against it, you're fairly sure that there aren't oars in the boat, and it's hard to swim while pushing a boat.

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
"Thank Aldaran" the paladin whispers under his breath when he sees Llaars reach the boat, then, as he notices that he is having some difficulties in bringing it back "Antal, now it's the time for that hook of yours. As soon as he is in range we try to hook it to the boat. That way maybe we can make it easier for him to get back."

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Llaars
Clinging to the rear of the boat, Llaars continues to kick his feet to hopefully steer the boat toward the shore.

Gimme the rope, I'll hook it.

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Antal returns one of Audric's looks, I'm not sure anyone other than myself should do anything with ropes anymore.

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Audric can't help but smile slightly, despite the seriousness of the situation. "Maybe. And I'm not sure you should be allowed to freely do...anything, really, given your recent antics." He turns serious again. "If you can, throw it as soon as he is near enough. He needs all the help he can get."

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Llaars gets the boat within technical range, and then...goes underwater. The boat begins to drift away with the current.

Crap! Antal exclaims, whirling the grapple end of the rope for only a moment before tossing it at the boat.

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
"Dammit!" Audric quickly sheds his armor, all the while keeping his eyes fixed on the point where Llaars disappeared, to see if he manages to surface again.
Spoiler((He is going to dive after Llaars...but not if he manages to resurface before he is able to take off his armor. ))

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
The hook fails to hit, and in fact falls over 30 feet short. Just because you have enough rope apparently doesn't mean that you can hit.

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Water next to the boat begins to churn in earnest, then Llaars pops back up next to the boat, which has drifted ten feet downstream since he fell underwater.

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
Llaars
Gasping for air, Llaars tries to reassure his worried companions. "Sorry... thought I saw a copper down there." He takes a deep breath and tries to push the last stretch to the shore. "I hate water."

Re: The Wrong Guys IC II
SpoilerWay for me to get a phone call in a critical moment... . Sorry guys.
Audric stops short just a second before diving as he sees Llaars resurface, worry and fear plainly written on his face "Antal, try tossing that rope again." he says urgently.
