[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 8140830, member: 54629"] All right, so we had our session earlier this evening, and it went pretty well! I started off by having the two affected players go through their gear and decide for themselves what their PC would likely have had on their person while paddling the canoe vs what they would have stowed in the floor of the canoe. I then had the group determine what all was in that canoe in terms of party gear -- e.g. one of their two rain catchers and half of the group's foraged food. It was a heavy rain day, so I set the scene by saying that the river was swollen with a visible if still somewhat slow current. The plesiosaur started off demolishing the canoe, which it mistook for a living creature. My daughter decided her arcane archer would have had her quiver on her back already, and I graciously let her keep all her arrows. She opted to have her PC grab her backpack before it could sink / float away. My wife, however, decided her PC would not have had much on his person aside from his "day bag" and so he went for his rapier but let his backpack go. She also decided that her PC lost his pet mouse in the river! The tabaxi siblings were struggling to swim to shore, so my wife had her PC go after the rain catcher, which we decided would've been floating, and steer it over to the tabaxi to use as a floatation device. My daughter's PC also hung around to help. Because of that, I 'rewarded' them with a random bite from the plesiosaur as they swam away. It got a good taste of my wife's PC but the damage wasn't enough to take him out, so they all made it safely to the shore, minus one canoe, some food and some other relatively inconsequential items. Oh, we also randomly determined which canoe the sack of ghoul heads were in and it was the destroyed canoe, so they lost those too. They'll have to find some more to ghouls to behead before they return to Fort Beluarian for the bounty. After hiding their remaining canoe, they proceeded the rest of the way to Firefinger on foot. Unless they can find another canoe in the vicinity or reduce their numbers to six in total, they're going to have to walk back to Port Nyanzaru as well. [/QUOTE]
