Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Tobias grabbed onto Dr. Porter's other arm that with as much strength as a strong nineteen year old college student could reasonably hope to muster. Helping Maria, Bret and Eddie to rescue the doctor. He moistening his lips with some sly satisfaction as Dr. Porter flopped around gasping and flailing about like a fish on dry land. "Hey Doc, something happen down there?"

OOC: jumping the gun. You were not able to pull him out on your own. Awaiting Eddie's test. |

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
OOC: Apologies for being overenthusiastic again; I realised my mistake. I'll edit my post after Eddie finished making his STR test. Sorry. |
Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Eddie tries to pull, but whatever is pulling back is too strong even for him.

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Jolted into action by the doctor's cry of alarm, Bret picks up a branch from the ground and holds it out to the sinking man. "Here, grab on to this!"

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
OOC: Alright. Apologies again for accidentally powergaming. I hope there's no hard feelings; Bentherat, so, what happens now that Eddie made the test and Bret did his thing? Was Dr. Porter successfully rescued? I am willing to alter my post to fit the narrative since I understand that I was being too over-eager before. ヽ( ̄д ̄;)ノ |
Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Despite Tobias having a good hold and pulling, Eddie and Maria weren't able to get a good grasp. The doctor is getting pulled into the swamp. Whatever, has him, is not letting go and is stronger than you. Brett holds out a limb, but not before the doctor's head goes under the swamp water. He calls out "help me," just before he takes a big gulp of air and goes down.
OOC: 90% of the doctor is still above the swamp, only his right arm and now head are under the swamp water. Brett, by the time you found a suitable limb and got it there, his head was going under and so now he can't really see it. His arm is being pulled on by one of the other 3. 2 legs, 1 arm - 3 investigators trying to save him. I don't think he can grab it anyway. So are you doing anything else? Eddie, Maria and Tobias, please make another strength check to attempt to pull him out. You need 2 successes or 1 crit success. Dr. Porter, you can hold your breath for this round, starting next round you will be making con checks. If you can think of something else you want to do, please post it. |

Maria
Gasping in horror as the Doctor slips under the water, Maria again attempts to grab him, put she can’t maintain a grip on his jacket. Whatever has him is very powerful.

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Tobias swore something vulgar lightly under his breath as he saw Dr. Porter sinking deeper into the quagmire. It doesn't matter how or why this happened; Tobias was determined to pave through with all the strength of a college undergraduate on the Miskatonic baseball team.
OOC: Okay, I'm going to spend my Luck points here to help Dr. Porter. |
Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Eddie grunts and strains, pulling for all he's worth.

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Scarcely able to believe this is happening Bret tosses aside the useless piece of wood and peers down at the strange quagmire as the others pull on the doctor's remaining exposed limbs, trying desperately to see what lies beneath.

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Though his first instinct is to thrash, Dr. Porter tries his best to stay still and let his friends get a good hold on him.
Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
With the struggling the water was sloshing around stirring up the mud making it difficult to see in the water. Dr. Porter tries to stop thrashing despite being drug deeper into the marsh. Dr. Porter's head right arm and both shoulders down to his chest are into the swamp.

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
OOC: That...was so close. *phew* |
Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
With a surge of adrenaline, Eddie pulls even harder.

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Finally Maria gets a decent grip on the Doctor, and she pulls with all her strength.
Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Spoiler:
Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
The three of you renew your efforts and with a mighty pull, the doctor comes up quickly, gasping for air. Whatever he was stuck on, released him. Dr Porter is covered in a muck from his chest up as he wipes the swamp water from his eyes.
