Of Jungle Deeps and Ocean Depths

[Lichtenhart]

He follows the path till the strength of the river begins to match his own, then he looks for a safe place to anchor the trap-springer to, and tries to see if it works underwater too.

"Stay" he mutters. This breathing underwater thing is very nice, but it's still a bit weird to him. If it works, he clutches his pearl with one hand, the trap-springer with the other, and he slowly lowers himself along the waterfall.

*With a mighty whoosh! Mad Harry find himself hurled down the waterfall, and then sideways at great speed. No ship has ever taken him so fast, and his only comparison was the recent time he had been adrift in the storm-swelled seas. Gulping water as easily as air, Mad Harry felt himself go further and further through the sideways waterfall. Eyes open wide as he saw fantastic caverns go by, he suddenly saw a muscular, tattooed arm thrust into the flow ahead. He's recognize that tattoo of the Red Lady anywhere! Grasping his father's hand, there's a mighty heave, and then he's out of the flow. Mad Harry's father stands there, wet and smiling, a lovely woman with smooth, blue-green skin standing by his side.*

"Took you long enough to get here, Harry m'lad!"

 

[Zerth]

"Harry!" He truly deserves his nickname. "Rappai, the water-breathing spell, thank you. Time to go swimming."

*Tiana dives in the waterfall, after she's got the spell from Rappai.*

 

[Keia]

Rappai, Grippli Cleric

Rappai invoked the waterbreathing spell on those that needed it (including Jarrijan) the followed Tiana into the waterfall. Jarrijan was close on her heels.

"Hmm. Perhaps we should join them," Invelion says as he watches Harry and Tiana dive in. The elf's form changes as he moves towards the water, his skin turning to golden scales as he polymorphs into a gold dragon.

*Harry manages to spring the trap-springer before his father grasps his arm, and finds himself with one end of the trap-springer in one arm, and his father's hand in the other.*

*The others on the surface dive into the waterfall in one form or another, some enhanced by spells, others by blood or items of magic. Hurling down the waterfall at high speeds, they suddenly see Harry's trap-springer stuck to a cave wall, with the other end somewhere further down the line.*

 

[Zerth]

Tiana

*Tiana tries to follow Harry's trap springer to find the man himself.*

Weeee! What a ride!

 

[Keia]

Rappai, Grippli Cleric

Rappai and Jarrijan follow suit, trying to get out of the falls and grab hold of the trapspringer, or at least get out of the falls themselves.

Rappai enjoyed the ride through the falls, but wasn't much of an accomplished swimmer . . . she preferred a more solid surface beneather her feet.

 

[Erekose13]

Undinar leaves orders with Jalaro to keep watch over the animals until they return. Then seeing all of his crew leap in after Harry shrugs to the dinosaurs and follows them in mumbling something about taking precautions where currents are involved and surface worlders getting in over their heads.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Grabbing onto the trap springer, you can use it as a kind of sideways ladder to control your descent, following it out of the blinding spray, and right into Harry's hand... Harry, on the other hand, seems to be engaged in talking to a rather rakish-looking man who bears an uncanny resemblance to the mad sailor...*

*On the surface, Jalaro watches Undinar leap into the waterfall and gives a bit of a gulp.*
