LEGENDS OF HAWAIKI - Prologue

[Guest 11456]

OOG: 6 ranks and a strength of 20 gives a strength bonus of +5. The total is +11.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

OOC: Dang... Freeking hulk. but is your swim speed like mine?

 

[Tonguez]

Yep Barbarian base speed 40 half speed 20, (I assumed since this is a race everyone is doing fullround actions) Seonaid also has Improved Swimming (3/4 speed -22) as does the Hiva Swimmer (3/4 speed 22) I'm also giving bonuses based on the difference between rolls 24 - 17 = 7 +2ft bonus (ie 22) so really Tatiki, Lani and Tu-Ru are at the same distance atm.

If I've made an error let me know please ...

 

[Seonaid]

Lani exults in the feel of the water sliding past her bare skin. As she sees how strong the competition is, she briefly wishes she had taken the time to cut her hair even shorter than it is. The thought is brushed away as she pulls closer to the rock.

Roll 2 + modifier 12 = swim check 14

 

[Guest 11456]

OOG: Just be glad Tu-Ru does not have Improved Swimming ;-)

 

[Guest 11456]

OOG: Seonaid! I believe your swim check should be +14. 6 ranks + 2 feat + 4 class ability + 2 strength bonus

 

[Seonaid]

[D'oh! I forgot about ability mods. It's not spectacular, but at least I won't fail now. Thanks!]

Swim check = 16

 

[Tonguez]

So here we go

(aka bloody double post!!)

 

[Tonguez]

The roar of the watching crowd rolled across the water as the Swimmers made their turn around the Hauru rock. The Hiva Champuion was still leading but Tu-Ru had closed the gap and could feel the wake of the other mans progress. Tu-Ru's own position was being contested by Tatiki who swam almost parallel with the large Opunga Barbarian. Lani had fallen behind and the swimmer from Aotona had gained and taken her position.

And then it happened.

Even as Lani made the turn about the rock she felt the first tug of the water. Their were always eddies around the rock were the swell and deflection met but the strength of this current was new and dangerous. The water seemed to glow and then Lani was pulled under...

Beside her the Nukuhau swimmer also went down a loud yelp coming from his mouth as he tried to fight back from the pull of the Whirlpool into which the two had fallen!.

(Lani and the Nukuhau Swimmer DC 20

Spot checks everyone and...)

 

[Seonaid]

Lani gasped for a breath just before she was pulled under. The whirlpool dragged her down too quickly for her to fight it effectively, and she had a brief moment of panic before resignation set in. [Swim check: roll 4 + modifier 12 = check 16

Spot check: roll 3 + modifier 2 (I assume this is deep water) = check 5

I really have to stop using the AOL chat room dice roller. ]
