Fresh air and exercise
Not wanting to dwaddle, Caduceus hurried to where he had stowed his gear the evening prior. He then grabbed his precious feathers he had gathered when they were stopped near the boarder and added them to his supplies. Finally, he collected any convenient scientific gear that would not overburden his next spell, and strapped it to everything else.
Lastly, Caduceus added himself to the pile and clutched the Sustaining Spell Focus around his neck. "Come on Snake. Let's skedaddle," he muttered as he willed himself and supplies up off the deck of the boat. He had no urge to swim with the river spirits, helpful as they may have been.
Caduceus's goals:
1. Collect his own gear.
2. Collect his feathers from their hiding spot.
3. If he has time, collect some of the scientific equipment if it won't weigh down his Levitation.
4. Put on his pack with all the attached gear and cast Levitate on himself.
5. Up, up, and away! (and see if anyone else might still need help.)
Casting Force 2 Levitate with Sustaining Focus (TN 4+1 = 5)
Using 2 Spell pool Dice to cast, 4 for Drain. I am assuming this doesn't count as combat even though we are using combat turns. If it does, remove his last dice.
13:41, Today: Caduceus rolled 1 success using 8d6 with the Shadowrun system with a target of 5 with rolls of 4,1,4,3,5,2,2,1. Cast Force 2 Levitate on self.
That should be enough to lift 100kg/220 lbs and move at a speed of 7 meters per turn. Might not be able to grab much extra gear, if any.
Medium Drain vs TN 1+2+1 = 4
13:46, Today: Caduceus rolled 7 successes using 10d6 with the Shadowrun system with a target of 4 with rolls of (6+2)8,3,4,2,1,5,(6+6+6+1)19,4,4,4. Drain test.
I believe that should avoid causing Drain.
