Kortauhk looks around at all of the swampy water and the bones sticking out of the ground. Kortauhk may be stupid, but he was in tune with the natural cycle of things and could understand that there was a predator here at one point in time if it were not still here. Eying all of the dry spots of land, a plan came to him.
"Valahad. Which way Kortauhk and peoples go? Water bad place for peoples. Maybe big chomp-chomp live in water. No take chance. Maybe Kortauhk jump over water with peoples? Valahad show Kortauhk where jump?"
[sblock=Kortauhk and athletics] When not wearing his shield and armor, Kortauhk has an athletics check of +15. Because he is a Goliath, he gets to roll all jump checks and climb checks twice and take the better of the two (just like Lan had with perception checks). This means that he can jump between 3 and 7 squares with a running start. On the high end, that's enough to get us to any of the dry spots from any of the other dry spots. On the low end, not s'much. Of course, with the better of 2 rolls, he's much less likely to roll in the low end. [/sblock]
