Message: <blockquote data-quote="arwink" data-source="post: 939001" data-attributes="member: 2292">The short version:Everyone else was unconscious, we did a quick stocktake of the bodies on board, and figured that anything left probably would have come topside when the fighting started if it was capable of swinging a weapon.  I'm sure it was probaby my suggestion that we scout below-deck, cause it's the kind of thing I'm wont to do, but the druid raised very little opposition to the idea.  The fact that I still had a flickering Shield and Mage Armor up, full hit points and a very bloody club probably boosted my confidence a little as well.Unfortunately, the first room we opened held lizard men and they got mildly peeved.  Three of them.  Again, Zalich was mostly fine, but for some reason I had a brain spasm and moved my massively armored body (AC 23 or so, from memory) out of the doorway.  They immediately took the opportunity to spear the Druid, and I spent the next couple of rounds fighting off scaly-kind rather than bandaging wounds.  Essentially, I didn't realise how close to death he was.  The DM's clue "He starts to gurgle," was interpreted by me as "Right, close to death, should probably bandage him in a round or two."  It was meant to be interpreted as "he's on -10, and will die if you do nothing."One of those moments where years of DMing backfires when you're a player - you get used to your own shorthand and verbal clues.  It's only the second session I'd actually been a player in for the space of a few years, so these things happen.As for Zalich's updates - put their absence down to way to many storyhours to write up and an overabundance of work.  The good news is that I've got a month and a half off starting in two weeks, and I'm devoting a good week of that to getting all three storyhours I'm writing up to date.  Or, at least, get enough sitting in a word file that I can update regularly.</blockquote>
