Party get bored and rogue decides to clamber down outside of boat and into cabins. (i got the boat from U1 so i didn't have to spec it) Rogue finds chest, fails to find trap, ends up unconscious (poison)other pc's start yelling down & decide somethings happened, cleric decides to climb down to narrow window ( i tell him its very narrow - ie take off your armour). player tries to force himselves through the window regardless, fails dex checks and ends up stuck.remaining character decides to rescue cleric, climbs down, fails dex check (no climb skill) and falls into water. grabs hold of rope but unable to climb up.So rogue unconscious in cabin, cleric stuck in window, fighter hanging on to rope in water, Boat sailing on unmanned  - eventually pirates break through barricades and have a good laugh at escapees. I gave up on the campaign soon after that....</blockquote>
