The ship had pulled away from the dock, so removing the dead would have to wait. In looking around the ship, Dr. Watkins found a number of stevedores and crewmen with serious burns, deep cuts, and broken bones. Wade provided what assistance he could on deck, but sent many to the medical room...

We are nearing departure from New York City for our campaign and this is a good time to level up everyone's characters. I considered allowing our two long-time characters (i.e. Martin and Camille) to level up, then leveling up our three newer characters (George, Oyvind, and Father Rucker) once...

As the Gabrielle idles out in the harbor about 50 yards from pier, awaiting the tugboats, the three boxcars on the pier edge rumble down the explosion- and heat-buckled tracks and into the river. Starkweather shouts and grimly watches the 3-foot wave of water expanding from the dock. At about...

The two Norwegians looked at each other, shrugged, and slowly carried the stretcher up the stairs towards the ship's mess and the medical facility. When Wade turned to look back at the other two burned men, he saw that someone had covered them with a tarp. Completely...

Quickly looking around the main deck, the priest notices a few situations that might require his assistance. There are three stevedores struggling to tie down a load of large wooden beams. A drum of oil is lying on its side near the railing and is spilling liquid into the river. And a...

The two men carefully lifted the man, but the movement caused him to groan loudly and then fall silent. They gently placed him on the litter and picked it up, but looked nervously at Dr. Watkins. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).

Father Rucker's comment jolted the professor back from his reverie to focus on the problems at hand. He grabbed Father Rucker's arm, pointed at the deck, and said, "Yes professor Rucker, you are quite right about my need for help. Do you see my eyeglasses anywhere?" A brief search of the deck...

Enke and Olav responded quickly to Wade's request, bringing a pallet with them and placing it next to the suffering man, but then stopped to stare at Dr. Watkins, eventually saying, "Doktor? Bring this man to the ship's hospital? Yes?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).

Silently to himself, Wade quickly inventoried the man's injuries: - third degree burns visible across face and neck; - severe blistering within the man's mouth and tongue, bloody foam flowing from the man's nose and up his throat as he breathed; rattling, bubbling breath; likely critical...

Wow! Impressive roll! :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job.

As the U.S.S. Gabrielle's stern cleared the burning dock, two tugboats could be seen approaching to help her. After a second sweep of the deck with the fire hose to extinguish a few remaining flickerings, James Starkweather signaled to shut the water down. A loud series of cracks and...

Enke and Olav ran with Wade through the Ship's Mess and down the corridor to the exit, emerging at the top of the superstructure's stairway, and they pointed down at a cluster of bodies lying on the main deck near the raised gangway. Wade was stunned by the chaos: the dock buildings and a...

Hello there, Dallas! Thanks for stopping by and letting us know how you're doing. Yep, this game continues on, a little slowly here and there, but drawn inexorably towards the ice. I'm excited that we're nearing the end of the New York City events and soon will depart for greater glory...

The man grunted out in pain, spraying bloody spittle. In a raspy voice, like sandpaper scraping across bone, he blurted "A man! I saw..." He trembled and grabbed George's shirt and pulled. "...saw him! Start the fire." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).

Moore tilted his head to the side and squinted again, moving closer to see you better. Water ran from his hair down the side of his face and dripped from his chin. "Rucker?", he questioned himself, then nodded. "Yes, Professor Rucker. From the department of Chemistry! It's been a long...

As they were hurrying out of the medical facility, Enke and Olav stopped dead in their tracks. A painful look crossed Enke's face and Olav responded in a somber tone, "Ja doktor. Der er flere ... excuse ... there are more on the dock." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).

Martin will awaken in a drugged stupor approximately 3 hours later, but once he's oriented himself, he will have a short time during which he can perform basic functions which don't require physical exertion; for example, he will not be able to climb a flight of stairs without passing out. The...

George was able to fight back his nausea and continue on. He probed the neck of the first deckhand, sliding his fingers between the exposed muscles seeking a pulse--and then deeper. There was nothing. He moved to the second body and immediately saw that the individual was far beyond help, a...

Hello everyone, Thank you for your understanding during these trying times. Our crisis is over (for now) and our mom is now out of the hospital, although she's suffered a heart attack and is noticeably weaker and closer to her "end game". I feel confident that I can take care of a few errands...

I apologize for the past couple of weeks of absence, but I've been pulled aside for family issues. Our mom is back in the hospital and it's not looking good. I'm traveling 300 miles each way to assist the family (camping in relative's homes when I'm away), so it's been a tough struggle...
