[QUOTE="SuperFlyTNT, post: 2031506, member: 16439"] The Air ship was departing, the gangplank had been pulled and the ship was pulling away from the dock. Several players made it to the ship (whiner included) and jumped aboard as it was leaving. They tried throwing rope to the people still on the dock. Then the two players grab the rope and are pulled off the dock as the ship departs, on a climb check they both roll under 7. They fall, the mage casts feather fall on herself and the gnome. They get back on the dock and are picked up by another ship. Meanwhile Sir Whines-a-lot is fuming because the commercial air ship wont make a special trip to go back and get his friends. Nevermind the captian is about ready to toss them overboard for jumping aboard his ship with out paying fare or the proper papers. Instead of trying to talk there way out of this situation he tries to threaten the captain. The captain calmly and cooly replies "if you want to see your friends that bad it can be aranged- but this ship isnt turning around." At this point our players huffs and puffs then slumps down into his seat and mumbles and complains and wants to know why they cant just go back and get them. Am I being unfair? [/QUOTE]
