Re: 1E - TiNH - Part Five: Alohan and Kassius go Swimming
Despite the head start, Kassius swims slower, and stays behind Alohan going up the pipe.
Round 2: Breath held 2/26, Animal Focus 1/10
Ok, so my speed is 30 ft, so each swim check takes me 15 ft forward. So I need 5 successful checks (not counting the one above). Here goes!
Round 2: Breath held 4/26, Animal Focus 2/10
17:06, Today: Kassius rolled 25,13 using 1d20+8,1d20+5. swim, acrobatics (avoiding sea urchins) round 2.
Success!

17:06, Today: Kassius rolled 24,25 using 1d20+8,1d20+5.
Success!

17:07, Today: Kassius rolled 11,12 using 1d20+8,1d20+5. swim, acrobatics (avoiding sea urchins) round 5.
Acrobatics made, but swim failed. Don't advance.

Round 7:Breath held 14/26, Animal Focus 7/10
17:09, Today: Kassius rolled 10,6 using 1d20+8,1d20+5. swim, acrobatics (avoiding sea urchins) round 7.
Double Fail!
17:09, Today: Kassius rolled 9 using 1d20+4. Fort Save.
Triple Fail!
Kassius is nauseated: "The only action such a character can take is a single move action per turn."
With a move action, I can only move 1/4 speed. Luckily, I only have 5 ft to go before I reach the end of the tunnel!
Round 8:Breath held 16/26, Animal Focus 8/10
17:12, Today: Kassius rolled 26,14 using 1d20+8,1d20+5. swim (1/4 speed), acrobatics (avoiding sea urchins) round 8.
Success!
Kassius swims easily through the pipe at first, his magical adaptions giving him inhuman aquatic agility. However, as he nears the end and sees the glimmer of light, he starts letting himself get overconfident. He brushes against an urchin, and feels the spikes dig into his skin, causing nausea. Pausing to regroup himself, he barely swims the last few feet, emerging with a wet, sickened cough besides Alohan.
