CHAPTER 5: IC - At Sea > Panama to Australia

[royya]

Luckily, P.J Rucker was in a good shape. He holds his breath as he pulls back Adam Henning from the hatch to a safer place.
OVER HERE !!!
He shouts out aloud.

Roll vs. Ammonia (CONX5=70) (1d100-15=28) - Success

[Mr. Handy]

Katie races for the hold too, knowing that she's in excellent physical shape and will be well suited to rescue anyone who needs help. She's also sure that she can get there first, and every second may count.

Luckily, P.J Rucker was in a good shape. He holds his breath as he pulls back Adam Henning from the hatch to a safer place.

He shouts out aloud.

Katie races for the hold too, knowing that she's in excellent physical shape and will be well suited to rescue anyone who needs help. She's also sure that she can get there first, and every second may count.

Father Rucker dragged the steward to the portside railing where the breeze would help to clear his lungs. The priest then sees a group of crew members, led by James Starkweather and Katie Wright, round the corner of the superstructure and hesitate upon seeing seeing the vomit-spattered deck, the open tweenhold hatch, and Father Rucker leaning over Henning at the railing.

Nautical Definition,Port = left when facing the direction of travel. Starboard = right side.

Starkweather looked at Father Rucker tending to Henning, covered his mouth when he began coughing from the concentrated ammonia gas from the hatch, and yelled, "The refrigerator hold!" He scrambled down into the open hatch and immediately dropped from view as if he fell. A moment later, his cry of "HERE! To me!" echoed up from the hatch.

[OOC: Before posting for your character, everyone in the rescue group must make a successful CONx5 roll. Anyone who makes their roll successfully can follow Starkweather. Failure means you are overcome by the fumes and must return to the main deck. A failed roll of 95%+ means that you are completely overcome and must be helped back up the ladder.]

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,D'oh! :shock:

Katie rushes confidently down the ladder, but the fumes overcome her and she collapses, choking on the gas.
.

[Túrin Turambar]

James comes running when he hears the noise and quickly understands what is going on. He takes a deep breath and then rushes into the gas to descend the ladder. That is no problem at all.

Quickly reaching the bottom of the ladder, James encounters the collapsed Katie and decides that she has to be helped first. James tries to lift her over his shoulder and ascend the stairs again to get her out of the fumes.
.

OOC,What roll(s) do I need to make?

[Anatomist]

George Barrow rushes to the hatch and watches how brave souls goes into he fumes to rescue whomever was down there.
Being a PhD in chemistry he started yelling some orders 'Sorensenbrothers! go and fetch a water-hose, we need plenty of water to wash the ammonia off them' 'Turlow! does that compartment has another exit? We must ventilate it as fast we can! Ammonia is lighter then Air and if we can get a tunnel effect from below i hope we can lower the inspiration risk!'

[Anatomist]

Øyvind looks at Adam Henning 'get a Medic to this man fast!' kneeling down and looking at the amn 'Who else did ou see down there? They are in danger!'

ooc,[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3433325/]con*5 = 80 (1d100=14) - success[/url]

[jrod]

"Help our comrades!!" Wade yells.
Wade Watkins will also follow the rescue party to help those afflicted by the toxic gas!
.

OOC,Con = 14; roll must be less than 5 X 14 = 70 [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3433405/%20=%2016]Wade's Constitution roll = 16[/url]

[Seon]

Ernest covered his mouth with the sleeves of his coat before descending the ladder quickly.

Spoiler:

The fumes were not a problem for him either.

"How the hell did the ammonia leak in this quantity without anyone noticing?" he muttered out aloud. Oh right, the madmen.

"Were there anyone else under the deck? We need to make a roll call as soon as possible."

Quickly reaching the bottom of the ladder, James encounters the collapsed Katie and decides that she has to be helped first. James tries to lift her over his shoulder and ascend the stairs again to get her out of the fumes.

OOC,What roll(s) do I need to make?

In the dimly-lit cargo hold, through watering eyes, James is able to lift Katie without much difficulty, but sees that a number of crew members are now coming DOWN the ladder, blocking his exit. And Katie is in obvious trouble, gasping and coughing; she must've deeply inhaled the gas when she reached the tweendeck floor.

Nils and Gunnar listen to George's instructions, nod, each saying, "Ja!" and then dash across the main deck towards the superstructure.

The only way to create a "tunnel effect" will be to pump air down to the lower hold.

Øyvind looks at Adam Henning 'get a Medic to this man fast!' kneeling down and looking at the amn 'Who else did you see down there? They are in danger!'

Henning was coughing horrifically, but he looked up at Øyvind while blinking and wiping at his eyes, managing to respond, "Just... just me..." *cough, cough* Henning spit out a gob of white phlegm.

"I... I was getting... food..." Adam was then overwhelmed with a paroxysm of retching.

"Help our comrades!!" Wade yells.
Wade Watkins will also follow the rescue party to help those afflicted by the toxic gas!

Doctor Watkins runs to Adam Henning and examines the man, looking at his eyes and down his throat, then listening to his breathing and taking his pulse. Watkins pronounces that Adam Henning will be OK and that he has no permanent damage from the gas, merely some severe irritation, and that his body will "work this out".

OOC,No medical roll is needed -- this is pretty straightforward stuff, at least with Adam's condition.

Ernest covered his mouth with the sleeves of his coat before descending the ladder quickly.

As Ernest reaches the bottom of the ladder within the misty, dimly-lit Tweendeck hold, he sees James Poole pick up a prone, coughing crew member from the floor and hoist the person onto his shoulder. The cargo hold is dominated by the large shadowy hulk of an aeroplane and, beyond it, an open hatchway to the refrigerated hold with tendrils of cloudy vapors writhing forth. As Ernest watches, he sees the silhouette of someone run into the open reefer hatch and--it must have been his imagination--the curling wisps seem to embrace and pull him in...

[Seon]

"We've got injured coming up. Make some GODDAMN WAY!" Ernest shouted as he shoved a crew member out of the way of the person carrying the afflicted man.

"You!" he said, grabbing ahold of another sailor. "We wouldn't be as lucky as stocking gas masks and diving equipment in this ship, right? If not, grab some sponges! We can use it as a filter."

'Starkweather! Moore! Do we have some pumps that can pump air?! We MUST disipate this fog as fast we can!' 'Øyvind! you mind help getting the equipment if it exists?' with that George turn to see after the Sorensen brothers and the hose, ready to help Adam Henning wash of the ammonia.

[Túrin Turambar]

If Ernest has managed to clear the way, James starts going up the ladder, carrying Katie. He shouts "Clear the way on the ladder! Don't come down!" and tries all he can not to breathe in too deeply after shouting.
.

[Ewoklord]

Douglas stands around, not exactly sure how he can help. "Er, anyone need anything?" he asks nervously.

[Mr. Handy]

Katie coughs and splutters, desperate for fresh air and feeling utterly useless.

[Ewoklord]

Douglas approaches Katie, "Oh, er, do you need help?" He recoils a bit as she coughs again.
