Shards of Memory- Prologue: Fractured Union Part II

[unleashed]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*Zaeryn stays another round.*

OOC: Which is a fairly sucky rule, as at any other time you reach 0 hp it means you can safely make a move action and in this depth of water you would easily make the surface because of that.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Zaeryn continues to hold his breath, but so does Valyssa.*

(OOC: Yup, but that's how drowning works )
[/SBLOCK]

 

[unleashed]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*Zaeryn heads for the surface.*

OOC: You’d think they wouldn’t need to break their own rule though, seeing as everything is SUPPOSED to work the same way, by making a different rule for the same situation.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Valyssa waits for Zaeryn to surface, then follows.*

(OOC: Yup, it's curious, really. It would be better if they used -1, -2, dead, rather than using 0, -1, dead)
[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]“Well my love, you win...hmm, I think you’re part fish!” Zaeryn chuckles, mock-checking for gills before giving her the big passionate kiss she’s won...he then gets out of the bath, dons his trousers, and heads up to get her glass of juice.

OOC: Well actually it would be better with 0 (you’re starting to take on water...do something now or you’ll die), -1, -2, dead. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Oops, guess I did," Valyssa replies with a grin, then as he mock-checks for gills, she jokes, "Good thing I hid the gills just before I came up!"

*She partakes of Zaeryn's kiss with ardour, and then she sits along the side of the pool, waiting for Zaeryn to return with the juice.*

(OOC: Well, that would be kinder to the drowner, anyway, but it removes the sense of lethality from those Constitution checks, where any roll could be your last Because really, except when your girlfriend challenges you to a hold-your-breath contest, any time you've stayed underwater past the safe-time represents some sort of critical failure or disaster )
[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*Walking into the galley shirtless and dripping water, Zaeryn pours a glass of dulcaryn juice.*

OOC: It would make more sense too, as I’ve done it myself you realise you’ve stayed too long, take on a little water and come to the surface coughing and spluttering...plus they removed all of the automatically lethal saves from the game except for spells...poison being the primary example...I’m really surprised that you don’t take temporary Con damage when drowning. As for staying past the safe time, not necessarily as a character with a very low constitution may just have no chance of making it past certain obstacles.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*The galley is empty at the moment, though Zaeryn sees several crew members on the way there, and Zaeryn manages to get the juice quickly and easily.*

(OOC: I think the twice-your-Con is supposed to be the point where you realise you've stayed too long, and anything after that is luck and a feat of strong constitution)
[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*He then decides to get himself one of those blue juices, before returning to the victor with her prize...grinning as he reenters the bath chamber he passes Valyssa her drink before stripping again and reentering the bath.*

OOC: Well that’s no fun...making things easy. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Keia]

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil[sblock]*Yuriko nodded in response to Master Senyuki's comment.*

"I wish you well, Master Senyuki-sama," Yuriko bowed, exitting the room.

OOC: don't remember where we left off and couldn't find it easily in the 4+ pages of unleashed posts. No worries.[/sblock]
