James doesn't like this - doesn't like this at all!!

James' POW x 3 check (1d100=12)

Yey!

"Congratulations, that's a relief to have that one over & done with, here's to many more sucessful flights"

James has been fortunate enough to have been on a flight or too over the years but is still very excited by this achievement.

Cold Weather, Slippery Ice (1d100,1d100=[62], [24], 1d100,1d100=[23], [13])

Cheers

James is overawed by the raw beauty of the Antarctic and wonders how the creatures who inhabit this inhospitable place ever survive. He is, however, a little releived that all seems to be going reasonably well so far and nuckles down to work to keep himself busy and warm.

Slippery Ice Save (1d100=67)

Cold Weather Save (1d100=58)

Here you go - Hope that's ok

James offers to help with the dogs and the sleds - he doesn't mind which team he joins and will just follow whatever orders he is given. James asks Professon Moore "Do you want me to be in one of the sled teams helping to move the cargo, as I can work with the dogs and have a good idea where a...

Sorry Raiko bit of misunderstanding... I thought you were letting me know if I had done any Polar Survival or Sledding classes so I will post regularly now (as long as I can steal a few minutes on the pc that is) :roll: If you need me to post & I haven't done just send me a quick message & I...

Thinking about the couple of alternatives of burying the bodies or taking them back when the expedition was over was not appealing at all. "I think a sea buriel is the only option really and isn't that what sailors do anyway?" James is more looking for reassurance that this is the right th...

James ponders on what the coins could mean, where they came from & why the captain of the SS Walleroo had such unusual items?? he heads, quietly in thought, after the others back onto deck to see if they can get the hatches to the holds open.

"Do you fancy going hunting for whatever that key fits?" James say's to Isugtag. "If enough care has been taken to hide the key in a hidden compartment then it muct be reasonably important!"

"I wonder why he would take his own life like this? surely they would have had some hope of eventualy getting clear of the ice or being rescued?" James is perplexed at the scene, from his expercience Captains of ships tended to be either quite intellegent or strong willed men it must have ...

Picking up on the tensions around him James starts to feel a little tense but remains calm as there might not actually be much down here and doesn't want to get too worked up just to feel deflated if they find no answers..

James , relieved that he made it to the deck with no mis-hap, stops in his tracks when he sees the lines of bodies. He knew the expedition would be dangerous but having lost 2 of his colleagues during the storm & seeing bodies laid out like that just brings it home even more luckily, having the...

Climb 1d100-> [88] = (88) :cry: http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1438144 James didn't like the look of ice face but hoped he would cope with the rope. If it looks like he will struggle with the rope he will tie the second rope around his waist to see if the other guys will give him a hoist.

James doesn't say much as they take in the damage but is impressed at John's foresight to bring along the salt.

Welcome to the adventure Amarriner

"I might as well join you, after all there isn't much else to do around here" James laughs

For James the news of what other people were or were not doing didn't effect him as much, he was more concerned with who now gets home first!! He wasn't totally unaware of the dangers that face sea voyages when he decided to help finance this expedition and he did seem to like Starkweather & Moo...

James is shattered after the eventful night and is pleased to be able to head back towards the cabin after the fume filled hold. He is slightly disheartened to hear people talking about how long these storms can last and hope that, on this occassion, they are proven wrong and the storm abaits soon.
