(Is anyone carrying these?  Swim with 2 at most, each giving -1 swim check)2 pounds of dry pine-wood shards.  (presumably left behind on the beach)Intact thigh bone (can be used as club - '-2' swim check) - anyone carrying this?2 small wooden logs(can be used as clubs.  One lighted w/Eanos - anyone have the other?)Round 1:  The party enters the water.  They swim at various speeds, 20 feet/round for Eanos, 15 feet/round for Nurlan, Rinaldo, Tenebrynn, Hogarth & Ashnar, & 10 feet/round for Ogrin & Razh.  Nurlan joins Razh and Ogrin in the rear behind Ashnar.  Ashnar succeeds in his swim check(15 feet).Round 2:  The party passes the small alcove on the left where the tubeworms grow.  Ashnar keeps up the pace(30)Round 3-5:  Ashnar keeps up(75 ft).  The party passes a branch to the left which Ogrin had taken earlier.  They pass it and continue straight.Round 6.  Ashnar is distracted and begins flailing ineffectually, sinking to near the bottom.Round 7: Ashnar pulls it together and continues(90 ft).Round 8:  Ashnar begins flailing again (no progress)Round 9:  Ashnar sinks to bottom.  Nurlan pulls him up and pushes him along(but still at 90 feet).Round 10: Ashnar again makes no progress.  Razh and Ogrin catch up to Nurlan and Ashnar.Round 11:  Still no progress.  At this point, two characters may 'aid another' if they wish to boost Ashnar's swim check.  A third would only get in the way.  Note that 'aid another' is a standard action & thus reduces the amount of time that character can stay underwater.  Also note that you must make a DC10 swim check to successfully 'aid another' (can't just take 10).  Everyone feel free to make your own rolls.</blockquote>
