Blub, blub, blub, ahhh!  Drof make sound from other end!  Bubbles rise up about Drof.Fart wake up big smelly wet bang thing.  Make water taste bad, big smelly wet bang thing no sleep, must get away from bad taste.  Big smelly wet bang thing rise from water - Drof on its back!  Drof no drowning now, riding big smelly wet bang thing.  Probably just run across on its back![OOC Note] Figure things out is very hard unless you're a smart caveman - Gorf only has a 1 in 5 chance and he has Smarts of 6!  Poor Drof and Gug with their Smarts of 1 have 0% chance to figure things out - they have to be told everything, basically.However, Drof is a Grunting Caveman and a master of Make Things Happen and Save My Arse!  Each skill is usable only once per task, but what just happened above is an example of a successful Make Things Happen or Save My Arse check - I've been rolling for Drof in every scene in which he stated he was making noise of some type, but my dice don't seem to like him like they like Gug, and this is the first time I got a successful roll.  Luckily it worked this time on what was a critical 'Save my Arse' check - now instead of drowning Drof can just run across the water on the smelly wet bang thing.  He also gets a nice XP bonus for successfully using a skill (I've been keeping track of all the cavemen's bonuses, don't worry).Now it remains to be seen if we can get the rest of the cavemen out of the water alive, but its a decent start.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> [/OOC]</blockquote>
