[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5904725, member: 6673727"] [sblock=OOC]Oh, you're fine, jk. I just wanted to reiterate, in case my willingness to parse the details be misinterpreted. My initial thought on the Ki pool thing is that the bonuses probably stack, since they're untyped, but that she wouldn't be able to expend more than 1 point per round, since it's a swift action to spend 1 point. In the interest of moving forward, I'm going to go ahead on that presumption. Edit: Glad we were all on the same page. :)[/sblock] Audra speeds through the water like a missile, her locomotion powered as much by the energies cultivated through her monastic training as by her arms and legs. Churning across the surface, she takes in a final breath sharply before plunging below the surface and diving down to the motionless form of the dragon below. Wrapping one arm around the creature, she powers upward towards the surface, then makes her way urgently back to the ship, though not as rapidly as her departure outward. With each stroke, Audra finds herself fighting off the grim conclusion that her efforts have been for not. Having already helped a sputtering Eanos out of the water, the crew throws a line back in to Audra. Despite the shapely image formed by her wet clothes as she emerges on deck, however, no one dares make a cat call; one sight of the deadly-serious look on the monk's face makes sure of that. Captain Hwuzel dashes over to inspect his cargo, but comes away shaking his head: the dragon is beyond help at this point. Silently, the normally-gregarious gnome goes below deck. The academic-looking halfling who had been traveling with Eanos and Fulgrim makes his way over to Audra. [COLOR="YellowGreen"]"Madame, that was a remarkable display of selfless effort.
