Uncertain if earth elementals feel pain, Kiri elects to dismiss them from her service with her gratitude.
With the room well alight, she flies through the now open door to the relative safety on the other side, where she resumes her natural form. She then hastily reaches into her pocket for a potion to reduce some of her pain Cure Moderate Wounds: 13

"Jump into the firey pit of death? Good idea! I'll do it!"
Lucky backtracks and jumps down to get the pie slice. His jump check to go down is an untrained +2, but IIRC he gets a +2 synergy bonus from his ranks in Tumble. He gets an 8!
After picking himself up, he looks for the pie slice. If it is obvious, great. If not, he searches for it. Search 26.

Round 15 of 40
Spider - Yeah, only half damage b/c of Blink. Spider manages to blink his way to the other side of the burned and splintered wooden door. When he gets there he begins working on the locking mechanism. The only problem is a large ghostly-looking lock that is glowing blue and green. It must be from the Arcane Lock spell that the last witch casted before jumping into the fire. Luckily, with all the beating the door has already received, combined with you yanking at the lock that was holding it all together, the door falls down... literally. It falls to pieces and ash in front of your eyes.
John - You would need to roll either an attack damage roll or a bash DC to try to knock the door down. Doesn't matter, you guys got through.
Kiri - Glitterdust will last for the next 6 turns. Go ahead and start a countdown.
Rathan and Orcus - With one final blow, at about the same time Spider breaks the arcane lock, the door comes crashing down all around you.
Lucky - Lucky jumps into the fire pit and immediately begins searching for the amulet. His search check was just high enough so that he spots it under the burning corpse of the Goblin Witch. Lucky grasps it, and puts it in his pocket. Now he must think about getting out of the pit. DC 15 climb check.
The room behind you is collapsing in a torrent of flame, smoke, and ash. The hallway before you is extremely safe and actually kind of air conditioned. Everyone... except for Lucky and Speck are safe right now.
The hallway you stand in is very dark and dank... almost wet, like the air is somehow liquid. You walk forward and it almost feels as if you are swimming... how ominous. You can only see a few feet in front of you, and that is because of the light from the burning room... unless you have dark vision.
Your Turn
Remsus shouts, "Hurry up Speck and Lucky before the room collapses!" back into the other room. He also casts another Cure Serious Wounds on himself this time.

OOC: sorry to have missed posting. Looked on Monday and there wasn't one yet, then got tied up and didn't make it. Then on Tuesday the Woldian server wouldn't let me.
DM: with the witch he was attacking running away, Speck would have moved towards the other side. I don't know where ALL the fire is, but he has Slippers of Spider Climbing, so he'll take a deep breath and hold it (so he won't breathe in any smoke), then RUN up the wall and across the ceiling, or run along the East wall, whichever has less fire.
That should be two rounds. If allowed to RUN (speed x4) across the ceiling or along the walls, that would be 80' of move, or in not Run, then double move for two rounds (80').
If that's not enough to get him across (tell me what saves he needs) he'll cast Expeditous Retreat. That should do the trick.
Just let me know where he ends up after two runds of running or double moving using his slippers, Safe on the other side of the door or doomed. :)

Speck casts Expeditious Retreat boosting his speed to 50', then, with a running start, attempts to jump the fire pit.

Didn't clear it but rolled within 5' so DC15 Ref to grab edge.
DC15 Ref d20+13+1(Lucky)=30!
Speck's little legs make a might leap over the fire pit and just barely makes it to the far edge. His nimble fingers grab hold of the edge of the pit and with the aid of some nifty slippers, he scrambles up and out.
Next round: He holds a hand out to Lucky and helps him up then trots to the busted door.

Round 16 of 40
Most of the heroes bounder into the new hallway in various ways. Remsus flies in and delivers some healing magic to Rathan... healed for 22 points of damage.
Speck runs and jumps and catches onto the ledge of the fire pit. He pulls himself up and it will only take one more turn for him to run through the door of the collapsing burning room. Lucky also makes it into the new hallway.
Sir John, although loosing his steed for the time being, has the presence of mind to light a sunrod (Whats the visibility on that?). You can all see however far the illumination on a sunrod is. I think like 30feet or something. Low-Light vision can see twice as far.
Everyone make some spot, listen, and any knowledge checks that you think may apply to what you are feeling.
It is very strange, even as you speak, it feels as if your lungs could fill with water at any moment. Like you are trying to stay afloat in thin air. Any questions about the place you are in or what is around you?

Sir John is a bit "creeped out" by the odd atmosphere and he looks over to those skilled in the arcane arts. Asking his friends, "Anyone have an idea of what this could represent? It's hard to breath and something mysterious is going on... Could it be a spell or some type of religious or natural occurance?"
(Assume that's one question? Will = 25... OK... Is this an evil affect? If not, then will = 23 but I passed anyway)
He tries to remember his noble training and conversations with Lords and Duke's, all of whom were retired heroes or mages, about if they had happened to mention this type of effect or odd atmosphere...

When Sir John begins to speak, he hears a screech in his head that makes his eyes flicker. Luckily, he staves off the effects. (Please make one more will save DC 16 though. Two questions)
But then there is a small voice that says, "Yes, I do have an idea what this could represent. A religious or natural occurance? Overall yes, Jangle and Bangle are religious dieties and they have much to do with what is going on. Natural. Oh no, I am nothing natural."
Knowledge nobility is of no help.

Lucky says, "Guys! Eyes! Prize!"
"What I wants to know is, where's the remaining pie slices, and how do we get them! There must be something around here that can help!"
Lucky spends the round searching for something ... anything ... that will help him.
OOC: Lucky is using his Mendicant's Lucky Find ability: Lucky Find: While on a Luck Quest, items tend to just fall into the character's hands. The character gains a bonus to search rolls equal to her mendicant level (this does not stack with the Jack O'Trades bonus). Even if the DM has not planned for an item to be found, there is a chance of finding something anyway. The DM secretly rolls a d12, unmodified by luck points. On a 1, nothing is found. On a 2-5, something non-magical and not obviously useful is found. On a 6-9, something non-magical and useful is found. On a 10 or 11, something magical but not obviously useful is found. On a 12, something useful and magical is found. The DM chooses what is found, and may be inspired by the table on page 113 of the 3.0 DMG, or on page 66 of the 3.5 DMG. This ability can be used only once per encounter.
Note that the DM rolls the secret d12 roll. We'll see what happens!

Speck, for the time being safe, takes one of the pie slices to inspect it. He takes the other one too and takes a good look at it as well, seeing how, or if, they fit together and what the other piece would look like.
Note: this is important, as he may need to cast Locate Object later and the more he knows about these, the better to locate the others.

Round 16 of 40
Kiri - your vast knowledge of all things arcana remind you that there are only a few creatures and effects that could make the surrounding happen... but more curious is the fact that people can hear a voice in their head every time they ask a question. This seems to be some sort of Mass Confusion, or perhaps a Labyrinth spell. It could also be a spell-like ability of a number of creatures such as a Sphinx, a Rakasha, an Aboleth, or perhaps a Mind Flayer. But you are quite unsure at this point until some more experimentation is done.
Lucky - Manages to find a large stash of smokesticks, alchemist fire, poprocks(that act as a flash-bang granade), and an everburning torch in a cupboard that just seemed to materialize. For his questions, there is a loud screeching in your head that you fight off, and then you hear answers to your questions: Q1: Where are the remaining pie slieces? A1: "You are not far from them. They are simply down this hall about 100 yards and take the first door to your right." Then, there is another screech for the second question. Q2: How do we get them? A2: "Well, you have to go there and claim them one way or another now don't you?" the voice replies with a chuckle.
Speck - Puts two of the pie pieces together. He can see that one has an N on it and another has a W on it. So, it would make sense if the other two pieces had an E and a S on them. Your spot check notices that some of the stones on the far side of the hallway move at about the same time that Lucky holds his ears to protect from the screeching in his head.
Spider - Notices the same thing speck does. He cannot hear anything though.
As a matter of fact, now that you roll Listen checks... it seems that the sound of the room is messed up. Like the acoustics don't allow for sound to travel very far... or at least very fast.
The hallway is about 100yards (300feet) long and extremely dark. Only Sir John's Sunrod is keeping the place lit enough to see about 20feet in front of you.
And now the DC for asking questions is 18will save. Riddle me this riddle me that.

Speck - When Speck asks "Why does the wall do that?" There is a screech and a voice in Speck's head, answer: "The wall does that because I have a minion hiding in there and he cowers at every word I speak, making the wall move." the voice says with a laugh. Speck also notices two secret doors at about a third of the hallway up, where Rathan is walking.
Rathan - begins to walk forward but he only makes it about a third of the way down the hall and then he suddenly runs out of air. Like he was treading water up to that point, but his head suddenly went underwater. Modified drowning rules: You can hold your breath for 2rounds per con modifier. Then you have to make fort saves to continue forward. Also, your movement is slowed by half... unless hasted, then its back to normal. (Your lucky I'm not forcing you to make swim checks). And yes, darkvision would help if there wasnt a couple of light spells already up.
Kiri - casts flare and the hallway lights up ahead.

DM, Speck still has his Expeditious Retreat active, which gives him an extra 30ft of move (just like a Haste), do you accept this so Speck can move his Normal 20' move?
"Secret doors are Bad here, I think, someone check them out." Meanwhile, using his slippers, he climbs to the ceiling and tries to crawl past the point Rathan ended up sucking water to see if there's a difference, ie, is the 'water' covering the whole hallway or just up to a point.

With a burst of insight, Spect blurts, "Our sense of gravity may be a bit askew, so we actually may be going 'down' and into a 'water well' of sorts. OR, there may be a water elemental blocking the way. OR, as Kiri said, and invisible wall of water."

Round 17 of 40
As Rathan walks forward and begins to drown in... something, you all hear a loud screech in your head. You don't think it is an actual sound, but rather something that is being communicated directly to your brain. "The worst part about being employed by a minor god or goddess is the lack of job security." it says with a maniacle laugh.
You see the walls start to crack... like glass would. How strange. Kiri determines that there is definitely some illusion magic at work here.
Then, suddenly, four tentacles pop out of the walls and attempt to grapple Rathan and Orcus!!! They hit touch AC 27, 26, 30, and 13.... jeeze. so 3 of them hit. Two are on Rathan and one on Orcus.
Rathan takes 24 damage and has to roll a DC 19 fort save. Orcus takes 9 damage and must also roll a DC 19 fort save.
Even worse, the holes that the tentacles made in the wall are gushing water into your tunnel. It will likely fill up soon.
Remsus reacts by casting Dispel Magic all around.... then, the terror is revealed.
You are not in a cave or tunnel at all. You are inside of a glass FISH TANK.... or rather... and AIR TANK, under leagues and leagues of water.
You can clearly see through the glass that there is a Huge fish-like creature that is reaching his tentacles into the glass hallway.
Then, Sir John hears a violent wail in his head. Give me a DC 18 will save.
Now here begs the awful question: How do you defeat an enemy that is beyond a wall... a wall that is keeping you in breathable air.

IF LUCKY'S SANCTUARY IS GONE -- (It had two rounds left on July 21)
Lucky ponders the question. How to attack something you can see but not reach, with a clear wall between you and it? If you can see it, then light must past through the wall, he thinks.
"It's worth a try," declares Lucky.
He steps to AB23 and casts Searing Light at the abomination he can see but not reach! Lucky makes a ranged touch attack ... using two luck points in the attempt. He hits touch AC16 for 25 damage.
IF THE SANCUTARY IS STILL ACTIVE
Lucky casts Cure Critical Wounds over Sending, then moves to whichever of Orcus and Rathan is closer for a healing touch. Curing is 29 hp

Spider AC24/18T/24FF 560/69HP *BLINK* d20+5=11 ; Saturday July 31st, 2010 3:41:41 PM
Spider doesn't believe he's in the situation he is and tries to disbelieve, wondering how they moved from a fire engulfed room into an airtank (will save 11).
Rathan HP 73/161 - CMD 17 Saturday July 31st, 2010 4:25:33 PM
Rathan and Orcus fall back slightly.
"Now would be a good time for someone to help us make sense of this situation!"
Rathan and Orcus hold a readied action to attack the next tentacle that either attacks them, or passes them en-route to an ally.
"DM ADDISON: Go ahead and attack the tentacles now. Roll the attack rolls and damage, they are totally within range of being hit."

Speck AC21/22(Dodge) HP:41/41 d20+11=27 ; d4+1=2 ; Monday August 2nd, 2010 2:44:17 PM

Busy busy week and I'm glad we're back!)
Sir John first makes a will save vs. the wailing sounds in his head (Will = 30), trying to drown out the pain and annoying noises... He's successful, at least for now..
Turning his full attention toward the tentacles, he smiles as he finally has something to hit. Moving to AA26, he swings his fiery axe at the nearest undamaged Tentacle (Tentacle 1?)
He hits it solidly,. possibly cutting it completely through... (AC 37, Critical hit, Bless Weapon makes it an automatic crit...) -> Does 33 pts of dmg + 2 fire + 5 shocking... = 40 total points...
Note that if he destroys it, he'll try to cleave into Tentacle 2...
Cleave vs. Tentacle 2 = Hit AC 38 (yes, the dice are my friend today... Another critical hit for 31 + 5 fire + 1 shock) for 37 total points vs. T2

Turn 18 of 40
Rathan - Rathan and Orcus, after being attacked themselves counter attack and rip two of the tentacles to fiery pieces
Speck - Is on the ceiling and takes a nick of flesh from one of the tentacles.
Sir John - Joins the battle, happy to swing at something finally, and promptly cuts two tentacles in half. The writhing masses crumple to the ground and wiggle oddly.
Spider -
Lucky - Tries to shoot a searing light through the glass tube at the Aboleth that is swimming in the water on the other side. This is one of those rare DM calls, how do spells work under water? Well, I am a scientist, so I will go at it from that angle. Light travels through a vacuum faster than through air or water, the two forms of matter cause the light to refract and spread out. But, the light still travels. I will say that you get a -2 to your chance to hit for shooting it through glass and water, more if the distance was greater than it is. Luckily, it still hits. The light shoots out of Lucky's finger, through the glass, refracts through the water in a zig-zag pattern and smacks the Aboleth in between the eyes for 25 damage!
Kiri - Again with the summoning? Yeah, water mephits can breathe under water I would suspect... it would be stupid if they couldn't. It can attack this upcoming turn.
The huge disgusting creature screams in agony as all four of its tentacles are ripped to shreds and a searing pain burns into its skull. Then, you wonder how the heck you are hearing the monster scream? It must be in your head.
The monster pulls its tentacles out of the glass hallway and water immediately begins to rush in, it is now up to your ankles.
1st: Now, it is Speck who hears a screech in his head. DC 19 will save or bad things will happen.
2nd: Then, you all hear the voice of the creature, "You shall die in your feeble attempts!" And suddenly the wall of water that blocked Rathan's path begins to rush forward, faster than you can react. You are now being hit by a tidal wave of water... extremely COLD water. As a matter of fact, it is so cold, your bones seem to be freezing.
Everyone make a DC 15 balance or swim (even if you are flying) check to stay up, Fail and you are prone. Secondly, everyone takes 9 Cold damage (reflex DC 18 for half). If you fail the reflex save, then your feet are also frozen to the glassy ground. If you fail both checks, then you are laying on the ground, frozen to it... soon to be drowning.
Your Turn
Remsus manages to stay afloat when the water hits him, but his reflexes are not fast enough to avoid the freezing power of the water. He is frozen to the wall. His hands are managably free and he casts a spell: Fireball.... but he is having a hard time to decide how to go about launching it. He decides to shoot it through the hole that the tentacle created, and lands it right on the Aboleth. The fireball creates a depth-charge type explosion that causes moderate damage to the creature, but even more damage to the glass hallway because of the pressure (although I know fireball doesn't work that way). The glass is cracking fast now....

With the wall of water rushing towards them, Sir John knows that he's facing death's door... (Swim = 0) He starts slipping and tripping in the water and has trouble staying afloat. Falling prone, he tries to crawl quickly away from the water and tries his best to remain standing. Coughing, he yells, "Someone better do something about that water! I left my bathing suit at home and this armor doesn't float real well!!!"
He feels the cold water too (Reflex 16 - failed) and it starts to chill his bones...

The cold water hits Kiri with force, knocking her from her feet. She lays frozen to the glassy floor, unable to think of any spells that would be of use that don't require some form of movement. "I can't cast anything safe while I'm stuck to the floor! Kiri calls out. "I don't want to put you all in any more danger, but if the water starts getting close to my mouth, I'll blow this glass room apart just to free my arms"
The Water Mephit lashes out with both claws. It's left claw cuts at the monsters skin (Nat 20), but the blood distracts the Mephit from it's second attack (Nat 1). 4 DMG to monster. Apparently Mephits don't have crit attacks

DM question, with Speck on the ceiling, does the water reach that high?
Speck AC21/22(Dodge) HP:41/41 d20+8=22 ; d20+10=16 ; d20+14=25 ; Tuesday August 3rd, 2010 10:52:44 PM
Speck who hears a screech in his head. DC 19 will save or bad things will happen. Will d20+7 +1(lucky) = 22!
In case the water is all the way to the top and being on the celing makes no difference: DC15 balance or swim: d20+10 (ballance)= 16, good
9 Cold damage (reflex DC 18 for half): d20+13 +1(lucky) = 25 Evasion for no dmg on succesfull save.
If the water does not reach the ceiling, Speck will scamper forward as far as he can go. Double Move for 40' (Expeditious Retreat still in effect but may not be usable while using the Slippers, otherwise add 30' to each move).
Speck AC21/22(Dodge) HP:41/41 Tuesday August 3rd, 2010 10:54:05 PM
Addendum: even if the water does reach the ceiling, he will take a deep breath and move forward Double Move 40' or as far as he can go against the current.

Last round: Lucky gets a luck point for hitting the abomination. He is up to 4.
Balance DC 15 check to stay up. Lucky uses 2 luck points to bring his check to +13. He rolls an 18, keeps his footing, and is up to 5 luck points.
Reflex DC 18 save for 9/4 Cold damage. Lucky uses 1 luck point to bring his save to +16. He rolls a 30, takes 4 hp damage, and is not stuck. He's up to 6 Luck Points.
Lucky follows up on that fireball with a Chaos Hammer! If it is chaotic, it is unharmed. The Will saving throw is 1d20 +7 Wis +4 spell level. Luck tosses an extra 2 luck points into the save, getting one back. He rolls a DC of 17.
Damage is 26, save for 13 if lawful, or 13, save for 6 if neutral. A lawful creature who fails the save is also slowed for 1d6 rounds.

Remsus Kai HP 41/52 AC 15 (Fly, See Inv, Blurr, Spectral Hand) (DM Addison) d20=2 ; d20+11=29 ; d20+14=27 ; Wednesday August 4th, 2010 1:38:22 PM
Turn 19 of 40 (So I learned something new today. Aboleths are usually Lawful Evil, who knew.)
The creature makes the will save (29), but takes some damage nonetheless. You all hear a loud screech in your ears, "You have caused enough damage that I will leave, but you shall still die!" it projects its thoughts of victory and death to your mind and then swims away into the deep, battered, beaten, planning to strike again when the time is right.
Right now the only crisis is that Sir John and Kiri are frozen to the floor and the room is flooding fast. The water is now up to both of their mouths since they are prone on the floor. They can cast a spell pending a DC 20 concentration check. You can flex out of the ice pending a DC 18 Strength check. Anyone else can try other tactics to get you unstuck... but you better hurry, as of now Kiri and John are drowning. You can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to your Con modifier.
Remsus is frozen to a wall of the hallway, so he is safe for now. Speck is on the ceiling and is also safe... but neither is safe for long. (His str check was a 2...)
The hallway continues for at least another 200feet, and it is too dark to see all the way down... and the glass is cracking FAST. Soon it will collapse.
"Get me out of here!" Remsus shouts as he struggles against the grip of the ice.

That'd be 18... Assuming this does happen... and with someone elses help, he manages to stand up (move action?) and starts moving quickly down the hallway (2nd move action replaces standard action) as the glass is cracking everywhere...

[OOC: I'm assuming that Sir John is okay, given the +3 in Speck and Lucky bonuses.]
Lucky bends to help Kiri. "HEAVE!" he shouts. His Aid Another check, using all five luck points and Specks bonus, is a 19. That should give Kiri a +2, plus the +1 luck bonus, plus the Inspire Competence, for a +5 total. And OOC, use a hero point if you need it!

Kiri struggles to rise from the water, but her body is stuck fast to the floor. "Help! she gasps as the water rises. She calls out to the Water Mephit to position himself underneath her, in case the glass breaks. As the glitterdust spell has finally worn off, she also cancels her invisibility.

Turn 20 of 40
Sir John manages to break free with the luck from Lucky and the inspiration from Speck (Really, how often does bardic music get a good use? Nice job)
Kiri is still stuck though and slowly drowning. She did manage to free herself enough to cast a spell if she so choses.
Remsus is stuck to the wall since he was flying. He screams "Don't abandon us Sir John!" as the Paladin frees himself and starts to run down the hallway.
One more turn until the glass breaks and everyone must swim through the ocean down the "hallway"... at least you hope there is another room at the end of the hallway, its too dark to tell.
Sir John, AC 26, 49/96, hps, Prot from Evil, Bless Weapon, Bear's Endurance d20+9=22 ; Thursday August 5th, 2010 3:39:19 PM
Sir John stops and realizes that in his haste, several members are still trapped against the wall. Breaking out his axe, he moves back to Remsus and Kiri and breaks them free CAREFULLY with his fiery axe, ensuring that its ice and not body parts that he's chopping and melting...
(His axe has flaming as an ability so he'll use it's heat to help his chopping...)... Not sure what kind of check I need... Strength = 22...

Raising her head from the icy water, Kiri gasps for fresh air. "I'd rather get a little singed than drown!" she coughs "Don't be afraid to get the axe close!"
Assuming she gets free... Rising to her feet, Kiri wades through the water with the group as fast as she can. "Please help us!" Kiri calls out to the mephit. Her swimming skills are equivalent to those of a drunken dwarf, and she knows she will need aid very soon.

The Inspire Competence is still in effect, so any skill used, ie swiming, strength, yodling... gets a +2
So Kiri's roll would be 10 + 2 (aid another from Sir John) and Sir John hacking at the ice, so DM can figure out the final number.
Speck tries to help Ramsus get loose;
"Watery Death is not your Game, Such a death is very Lame, Slide out of yo shirt if you must But let's kick up some dust!"
OOC: The Inspire Competence has to be kept up each round, unlike Inspire Courage, which lasts for 5 rounds after the song stops. sigh... But this gives everyone a guaranteed +2 on skill checks.
OOC: so, how many of us are there left? what happened to the others?

Sir John manages to free Kiri from the grip of the ice, it melts.
Then, as John goes to try to free Remsus from frozen on the wall, the glass tube of air that you have been standing in shatters with an implosion. Water and glass rush in, and in a matter of seconds you are all susupending in mid-swim.
It is strange as you float there, trying to reason what happened and attempt to tell where you are in the confusion your senses must endure when going from gravity to zero g. The pressure of the water pushes in on your head and ears and its almost as if you will pop.
Remsus, being lose to Sir John and Kiri, and being a cleric with the Travel domain, grabs both of them and cast Dimension door.
With a pop, Sir John, Kiri, and Remsus appear about 100feet in front of everyone else, there is a bubble of air right in front of them, they need to only swim a few feed forward and touch it.
Unfortuantely, Remsus's spell level only allows him to transport 2 other people besides himself in a given casting of the spell. He looks back at the specks that are his other friends, suspended in animation. The drow, with a white plume of hair around his head, waves at the others to follow him.

OOC: We can just put the game on hold Aug 11-17.
OOC but more game related: What are the swim DCs we have to roll, and how many of them, to swim to safety? I need to know for deciding whether to use luck points / mendicant powers. Thanks!
DM Addison: Just roll. If you fail too badly, you die, so go ahead and use what you got.
Captain Lucky AC1d20+17 HP54 of 64 d20=11 ; d20+11=30 ; Monday August 9th, 2010 2:12:11 PM
Okay. First, Lucky uses his special Test Your Luck Mendicant ability - "As a free action, allowed once per encounter, roll a d20. On a result of 11 or higher, pick a lucky result from the first list below. On a result of 10 or under, the DM will roll an unlucky result from the second list below and tell you when it takes effect."
Here's the roll, hoping for a 11 or higher! an 11! Sweet!
Lucky picks to have a +6 on all his Swim checks!
Then he tosses in another +5 with luck points ... leaving him with just one left, should he fail, though it sounds like that will be moot!
Lucky's natural swim check is a +0, seeing as he travels light. The only heavy thing he has is the bag of sunrods and such he just found, but he'll leave them behind in order to swim better. His check, at +11, is a 30. Not too shabby!
The little halfling swims like he has never swum before! And likely never will again!

Speck's spidery grasp on the glass walls suddenly vanishes and Speck finds himself swirling in water, the pressure causing some disorinentatin. A grasp by the water mephint puts him back no track and the kicks and paddles to help the mephit.
Swim d20+3 (+1 near lucky) = 15

Does the Woldiangames hand out prizes for 'Quote of the Year'?

(Back from our mission trip...)
Now that the lifeline of air is within his reach, Sir John hurriedly swims towards it and gasps at the cool, wonderful oxygen. He helps his nearby friends reach it too and then collapses to the floor, exhausted from trying to swim in full armor...

Hello?.... Anyone home?
Remsus Kai HP 41/52 AC 15 (Fly, See Inv, Blurr, Spectral Hand) (DM Addison) Thursday August 19th, 2010 2:47:17 PM
I'm back from vacation.
Roll call! Who's still here?
Basically Lucky swims the entire distance very quickly and pops into the next room that is full of air. Speck is being helped by the H2O Mephit. John and Kiri got Dimension doored with Remsus from the air bubble room.
