[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5590045, member: 16069"] The current continues to cause Kazz to drift on... however from somewhere the Dwarf seems to find a new seam of strength ('20'), he manages to keep himself above the water as long as he can- until he's beyond the tower, out of the current. His arms are like lead, no use... he sinks, and yet with a mighty effort claws himself back up again to breach the surface- clinging on to the tower- a sheer wall, the beach is not so far away. [GM]Note- there is no current beyond the tower (where you are), you can climb the tower but that requires a succesful Athletics check (DC10), once again this counts as difficult terrain and you have to climb 2 squares- in practical terms it takes you one successfull Climb check, and one whole movement phase to climb up to the top of the tower. Remember the Tower is a broken shell- you then can jump down without harm as another Movement Action, this would put you inside the tower.[/GM] [sblock=Combat] Encounter #2 The Ravine Turn: 8 Initiative (* = Next to play) 20 Len 15 Ragged Dwarf #2 15 Thorgrim* 15 Kazzagin 14 Krogan* 13 Mardred 13 Cinara HP & Conditions PCs Cinara 29/26 Surges 10/8 Kazzagin 31/25 Surges 13/11 Krogan 34/16 Surges 10/8- Bloodied.
