OOC: CHAPTER 5 - At Sea

To quote from James Starkweather, our expedition commander: "We will travel back to the campsight and last resting place of our colleagues from Miskatonic University, led by professor Charles Lake, some two years ago. We intend to confirm their amazing discoveries and to map and climb the Miskatonic Mountain range, reported to be the highest peaks in the world. Once we've reached those peaks, we will continue further. We will continue beyond the mountains. Beyond those mountains where we intend to perform an aerial survey of the lands on the far side of that range, into uncharted territory that has never before seen by the human eye. To uncover the secrets…"

Would it be okay if I said that I accompanied Dr. Green to the deck?

A term of endearment for your Keeper? Are you trying to flatter me so that George and Oyvind will benefit? 8-)

I was expecting that we'd hear from Ewoklord, telling us of his amazement that I was going to kill off Douglas Orgelfinger! ;)

So far, James Starkweather has succeeded in his CON X 5 rolls to rescue Doug. James' rolls

It's going to be close, I think...

And if Starkweather dies, events aboard the Gabrielle would take a dramatic shift.

Wow! Starkweather was almost in serious trouble himself! With slight bonuses from his facemask and brandy, anything over an 85 would've sent him to the floor. Hopefully, he'll soon be finished dragging Doug's body to safety.

I hope that you are right. I'd hate to lose such a wonderful man that folks love to hate!

Hey Anatomist, for some reason the link to Oyvind's photo appears to be having trouble. I can see George Barrow's photo, but not Oyvinds. Strange...

Oh, sorry. I've been watching everything, hoping I don't die. But if I do, I sure predicted it!

Keep the faith, Ewoklord!

And just to clarify, based on the rules for the ammonia gas that I referenced earlier, if Starkweather rolls greater than a 95 on 1d100, then he falls to the floor, unable to help himself (similar to what happened to Katie and Doug). If he rolls between 86 and 95, then he must get to the main deck immediately and would need to drop Doug to do so (which would not be good for Doug...).

I'm reluctant to make Starkweather's next roll. I hesitate when my cursor is hovering over that "Roll the Dice" button...

James continues to do well!

Although hmm, I wonder if Doug's body took any damage from Starkweather's rough treatment, being pulled and heaved around a corner in the reefer hold...

I guess that this proves that Starkweather does have a thick skull!

I'm happy to report that James Starkweather not only made his FIFTH consecutive CON X 5 roll, but he also made his Listen roll to hear Oyvind yelling for him!

Did Starkweather and Øyvind managed to set the hose in place?

Unfortunately, not yet. They had each run in opposite directions before finishing that task.

Phew! Now THAT is quite a roll, Mr. Handy! Very much out of character for you. ;)

Yeah, my luck is extremely streaky. If I start rolling a whole bunch of 50s and 51s, I'd be alarmed.
