"I don't mind staying, I have some portable lab equipment back in the car to keep me busy. " Salem looks over to Horsham, "If we are going through this plan, I need a helping hand with me. I can't hold the fort by myself."

Chad listening to the conversation tries to add a little perspective. "If we leave someone behind here with a hostage then they become a target and possible hostage themselves if the fish come to free Horsham. If we leave two people, they both might be captured if the Fish have observed us and come back here with any force. So either Horsham is moved to another location, and we are seriously short of secure locations where a hostage could be kept, as the doing so is suspicious to the normal folks and the fish alike in town, the inn is right out. Or everyone comes with to maximize our force and chance of success. Leaving someone here to be captured just seems silly." Chad begins moving toward the boat to join the team that is to swim to the TARDIS.

Salem gives an amusing look to Chad, "You make it sound like we can't hold our ground. We're UNIT christ sakes, if the Brigadier heard you talk like a pansy, he'd probably make you drop and do twenty, whip your attitude back to shape."

Leonek and Salem both recalled that Horsham's shack had diving suits that could be useful. There were six of them, of varying sizes. There weren't enough for everyone in the group, which had nine people, but most of them could have one.

Salem found a rag and gagged Horsham with it.

Tobias lifted the lid and was struck by a wave of stench. One glance inside told him that it indeed contained rotting fish, and one whiff made him want to retch.

OOC,[b]Tobias[/b], please roll CON X 5.

Salem resumes back into the shack, and begins to rummage around barrels, boxes, and front desk for anything useful.

Brook looks a bit worried at Story, then towards Leonek. "Perhaps he's infected....like on Pluto."

There is a loud retching noise as Tobias throws up. He wipes his mouth, furious with himself and walks around to the front of the shack with a face like green thunder.

Foraging around the shack, Salem may have found something interesting.

"Uhm, what? Ugh...He won't be found, no one ever comes here...."

Leonek frowns, scratches his hair, and paces around.

"Look, there's five or six diving suits in the shack. We can use those and then the three who stay behind can wait in the car with the prisoner, so they can drive away when things get hairy."


He looks around uncertainly.

"Is that a plan?"

Salem looked behind the counter. On a shelf below the cash register, he found a ledger that contained a listing of items sold and rented, the date and time, and a running tally of the money Horsham had taken in for them. The most recent entry matched his and Leonek's rental of the boat and purchase of fishing gear and bait. None of the entries for the last few days showed any diving equipment being rented.

"Well I'm definitely going." Says Tobias shortly. "We'll need a techy down there." He says as an afterthought.

The ledger appeared trivial in nature, and Salem couldn't think of anything useful to look into. Throwing it aside, Salem gathers up any equipments that may appear useful. Wet suits, knives, life jackets, scuba tanks, etc, and sets it outside by the boats.

Salem gathered the six diving suits with oxygen tanks, six knives, and nine life jackets.

Lucius Verres,Though [b]Horsham[/b] had held his hands with his palms forward, [b]Lucius[/b] had managed to get a glimpse at their backs. He had slightly scaly skin and webbed fingers.

OOC,[b]Lucius[/b] and [b]Raymond[/b] never made Spot Hidden rolls, so I rolled for them. Spot Hidden roll (57% skill) for [b]Lucius[/b]: [dice]0[/dice] Spot Hidden roll (25% base skill) for [b]Raymond[/b]: [dice]1[/dice] Sanity roll (current level 32) for [b]Lucius[/b]: [dice]3[/dice]

Leonek helps Salem carry the gear and quickly puts on one of the wetsuits, glad to be somewhat dressed again and he ties his knife to his left leg.

So? Shall we get going?


He carries his oxygen tank to the small boat and gets in.

"Hmmm, there's only six tanks and suits, and there's eight of us," Salem announces, "Like I said before, I'll stay behind and study our friend. Actually, he might know a thing or two around here," Salem makes his way back to the captive prisoner.

Leonek put on the largest of the diving suits, which fit him nicely.

Salem went back inside the store, where the gagged and bound Horsham glared at him with his big fishy eyes.

OOC,There are nine of you here, not eight.

Tobias quickly strips to his pants and takes a wet suit before anyone can say anything. He struggles to put it on, hopping from one leg to another. He straps on a weight belt, turns on his air for the tank and lifts it onto his shoulders and then grabs a mask and fins.

"Ive never used a diving suit before," Brook says. "Perhaps I can hitch a ride with someone wearing a suit, and I'll just try my best to hold my breath."

"I've never used one either," says Elizabeth. "So those of us coming to the caves, and I presume that includes us TARDIS crew, all have to put on diving suits? If so can someone give us quick instructions on how to use one, particularly the breathing bit?" She smiles hopefully, and starts to look for a wetsuit that would fit her.
