The Debrief

October 1986. Contact with Exxon Pumping Station #31 in British Columbia has been lost and a rescue team has been assembled.

The environmental activist group, North Wind, had threatened to bring operations to a halt. Could they be behind this sudden communication failure, or is something else going on?

Oh good grief.

The party could be dead long before a Cthulhoid monstrosity even waggles a tentacle at them.

Let's get all Randy's bad dice rolls out of the way now, before he starts providing first aid.

Assuming he lives long enough to get off the ice.

I'm assuming that Randy has another penalty die after failing his next CON roll?

I’m retconning that bit as we still had a couple of players to go, one of whom (thankfully!) managing to sort out the ropes for your descent.

For the time being, ignore the need to roll for CON until I let you know otherwise.

Anyone wearing climbing gear would only fall a maximum of a couple feet before the Sticht plate caught them. It operates on a spring, so rapidly moving down the rope for any reason would lock it up immediately. Just hope our equipment doesn’t break after it has to inevitably catch each of the inexperienced climbers at least once as they descend the wall of straight ice.

Of course, that’s assuming we remember to use the harness and Sticht plate.

Regardless, the real danger could be from the piton coming loose when someone puts their full weight on the rope. Or pulling a muscle on their way down. Or losing their grip and swinging on the rope until they hit their head on the ice wall. That would be bad.

First off, I doff my virtual cap to a double "00". The bards will sing of this.

Second, just read the 7th Ed First Aid rules. Oh oh...

In regards to the Medicine skill in 7th Ed:

- Randy does have some skill but not a lot (40%).

- Takes an hour per person.

- Must be done within 24 hours or else a Hard skill check is required.

- Making the roll in a dirty environment (like outdoors) requires a Hard skill check.

I think we would be better to wait until we're indoors if we can get indoors within 24 hours.

Addendum:
Oh GM, any chance those Extreme and Hard successes with the First Aid rolls have helped a bit with the number of HP back...?

Not to mention Gavin and the crit...

Ok, for your first aid rolls, as follows:

Regular success - recover 1hp
Hard success - recover 2hp
Extreme success - recover 2hp and in the first aid kit you find an inflatable plastic boot that protects and holds Gavin’s broken ankle in place.

Gavin’s ambulatory but anything that involves movement will include a penalty die (which will affect CON checks for weather conditions).
