Re: Chapter 21: Bound for Nouveau Zion
In reply to Alphonse Poirier (msg # 428):
Earnest made a point of checking if Tracy needed a break several times, but the young man seemed determined to show his mettle and kept waving him off.
Doesn't quit... good to know.
He therefore occupied himself with discussions with Poirier on the instrumentation and operation of the airship... soaking in as much as he could. He also eventually got his binoculars out and surveyed the terrain below for a while, looking for anything interesting.
12:08, Today: Earnest Nicholas Samuel Ringgenberg rolled 7,13 using d8,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 7,(6+6+1)13. Notice while surveying... just in case.
Eventually, Poirier himself called for Tracy to take his rest, so Earnest moved to take the position, handing him the binoculars in the process.
Well done Mr. Windham! Now take in the sights.
12:11, Today: Earnest Nicholas Samuel Ringgenberg rolled 5,5 using d6,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 5,5. Initial Strength check.
12:11, Today: Earnest Nicholas Samuel Ringgenberg rolled 8,11 using d6,d6, rerolling max with rolls of (6+2)8,(6+5)11. 2nd hour Vigor check.
Earnest starts out a bit slowly, but eventually falls into a pace and actually starts feeling invigorated by the 2nd hour!
12:12, Today: Earnest Nicholas Samuel Ringgenberg rolled 2,1 using d6,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 2,1. 3rd hour Vigor check.
12:13, Today: Earnest Nicholas Samuel Ringgenberg rolled 5,9 using d6,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 5,(6+3)9. 3rd hour Vigor check; Benny re-roll.
By the 3rd hour, he is feeling a bit chuffed (May have overdone it the last half-hour or so!). However he soldiers on and manages to maintain the pace through the third hour.
OOC: If anybody expresses a desire to use the binoculars, they are welcome to them without having to RP asking; just put their use in your narrative.
