[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8962603, member: 59816"] Sanderson came to a bridge that crossed one of Kingsport's many creeks. The city was old, and the creek was built up on either side with stonework, making it something more like an open rain-sewer than a pastoral brook, but the creek had been part of the natural land before the city grew there. The bridge was blocked by a throng of panicked people, pushing and shoving their way across. Worse, a group of crystal blights were on the way and would soon be picking off the back of the pack. Sanderson, holding the child, would not get across in time to avoid them, so he pushed his way to the water and slipped over the side. The child's scream grew higher in pitch at the prospect of being drowned, but Sanderson held him overhead and rolled onto his back, holding the child out of the water and swimming with his feet and tail. As he passed under the bridge, a woman was pushed from it and fell beside him. He let her grab hold. Soon they were joined by a male youth, who had tried to swim it himself but couldn't make it up the slippery stonework on the other side. It occurred to Sanderson that the creek would eventually empty into the sea, so he swam downstream as quickly as he could, with the child on his chest and two people clinging to his sides. [ooc]Fun! Gimme a dc12 CON check, sure. No need for disadvantage. You have swim speed and can hold your breath for 15 min! It's carrying everyone that's exhausting. (Failure will give you level 1 exhaustion, from the playtest track.)[/ooc] [/QUOTE]
