I view the tally in post #13 of this thread as the best indicator of EnWorld interest in the books, before any of the outside "supporters" piled in for Ptolus and Eberron. I voted for the Draconomicon because of its utility in my campaigns and the beauty of the artwork. I do like Ptolus, but...

Professor Moore stood silently while shaking Father Rucker's hand, then asked, "I know you, don't I? Pardon me but I'm blind as the proverbial bat without my glasses. Your voice..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).

Gomez! Welcome back! I'll be keeping an eye on the fun and, like many fans of auto racing, I'll be hoping to see a nasty 13 car pileup! Good luck. :eek: Job.

Dr. Watkins quickly examined Martin and determined that he had sustained a moderate concussion in addition to 2nd degree burns along his back and neck. Camille's quick action had prevented damage to his face and scalp. His pulse was a bit high, but stable, and his breathing was normal...

As George leaned over the first body, he found the smell of burned flesh overpowering. The deckhand's eyelids, nose and cheek appeared to be strangely sagging and a large patch of his hair was burned away. As he touched the man's kneck to find a pulse, the skin split and slid away to reveal...

Enke and Olav shuffled quickly into the medical cabin carrying Martin LeBlanc on a wooden pallet. "Doktor! Kvikt doktor!" yelled Olav. They gingerly laid the pallet on the floor next to the treatment table. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).

*laughs* HEY! Are you here just to start trouble? :P Actually, our expedition is VERY close to departing! And then our intrepid investigators will have entered the twilight zone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job.

~ Father Rucker found the professor giving urgent instructions to a group of deckhands, gesturing crisply with his hands. He finished lecturing the team and they immediately dashed off, then he looked up from his clipboard and exhaled. His eyeglasses were still missing. He turned and squinted...

Elsewhere aboard ship... Dr. Watkins had been taking inventory of all supplies in the Medical Facility when he heard the explosions and felt the ship rock. After a moment's deliberation, he began preparing the room to handle an influx of wounded. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured...

The red-clothed rescuer moved to Father Rucker's side and said, "Padre? I saw one more on the pier, Padre, but could not save him." The man's blackened and blistered face began to quiver, "The fire... There was no time... God have mercy." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).

Once the deckhands were all safely off the ramp, Professor Moore raised his hand to his mouth and produced an ear-splitting whistle, then signalled to his crewmen to raise the gangway. An idling crane engine roared to life and began lifting the gangway; seamen yelled and ran purposefully to...

By the time that George returned to the main deck with his healing kit, breathing heavily from his run, he found that Martin's body was no longer there. George's effort had not been in vain, however, because he was just in time to see three burned and blistered bodies being carried up the...

Professor Moore knelt at Martin's side, squinted at the man, and said to Camille, "He's much better off unconscious right now. And it would appear that you owe our photojournalist your life, Miss Bardier". Enke and Olav carefully lifted Martin from the deck and placed him on a wooden pallet...

Beyond those gates... **Deep in his dream the great bird whispered queerly Of the black cone amid the polar waste; Pushing above the ice-sheet lone and drearly, By storm-crazed aeons battered and defaced. Hither no living earth-shapes take their courses, And only pale auroras and faint suns...

Ah yes, Father Rucker's boarding pass... Since Father Rucker is on the ship (he made it through the gate during the excitement, but has not yet been interviewed), he's in a perfect position to work on that portion of the story. There are two main options and and I'm OK with either one. 1...

OnlytheStrong, If you're OK with it, I'll post an entry tonight where all of the injured from the fire are being brought into the U.S.S. Gabrielle's sick bay, and where Dr. Watkins (already on-ship and helping) and Dr. Greene struggle with the influx of patients. This will basically skip the...

Starkweather smiled at the physician and seemed to almost puff up with pride, then said excitedly, "Yes, from your comments I can tell that you've been studying expeditions such as our own, Dr. Watkins, and that your services will help ensure our physical survival! "You'll be bunking with our...

As a deckhand began working the pulleys to raise the gangway, a yell came from the burning docks, near the railcars. "Wait sirs! Wait!" A lone man, dressed in red, was dragging a body towards the gangway. The gangway was lowered again and a number of men ran down the ramp to the aid of the...

I may need to take some drastic action as Keeper of this Cthulhu adventure... It appears that your team of PC's is now turning the tide with the fire on the pier. We can't have that! :cool: After all, that means that the departure may be nearing... Er, once the fire is put out and the...

With the help of George and Father Rucker, Commander Starkweather was able to steer the water spray around to wash the flaming oil from the deck, but at the same time it drenched and pushed Camille into Martin's body, then into Professor Moore who tumbled down on top of them. Mercifully...
