[QUOTE="Son of Meepo, post: 5792894, member: 78756"] [sblock=Results]No one saw the nondescript man (did someone call him "Dox" once? Hard to say.) in the initial chaos. But just before the ship was to run aground, there was an indistinct blur running straight down the length of the ship—twirling over coils of rope, sliding under swinging ship-irons—until right at the moment of impact he was airborne, diving for the ground below. He seemed almost to hang in the air... [B]Acrobatics 29 (SUCCESS) [/B] "Have faith!" Tarkus yells. "Faith will protect us!" He remains standing straight and tall, legs apart to keep his balance, pointing one outspread hand into the sky to maintain the barrier as the deck begins to slope precipitously beneath his feet. He never flinches as the ship reaches the crest of a wave and he begins to ride it down, down towards the rocks below... [B][url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3343522/]Religion (1d20+8=18)[/url] (SUCCESS)[/B] Martelai, standing close to the prow of the ship, frowns as he's want to do when thinking. He runs forward toward the very tip of the ship and grabs the railing, looking out toward the shore. As the ship closes in his form blurs and becomes transparent, while his shadow self appears on the shore. In few moments, just as the sound of the ship grating on the bottom starts, he blinks out of the world, appearing at the very edge of the water where his shadow stood and blinks again aside as the ship keeps coming in. [B]Streetwise 20 (SUCCESS)[/B] Earth moves ponderously, standing by Tarkus and Brenwar and bracing himself for the impact. "Squeeshy man, come behind. Earth protects you." [B] Endurance 21 (SUCCESS)[/B] Cyr moves closer and stands behind Earth, holding himself on the beast and supporting with his staff. His recollection of few times he was shipwrecked in his lives don't offer anything useful on how he could survive this. (Nat 1) [B]History 15 (FAILURE - [COLOR=Red]BY ONE![/COLOR])[/B] Brenwar still glowing with the radiant light from moments before stands by Tarkus. Brenwar places a hand over his holy symbol and prays, "Palladys in your wisdom please protect your servant and his allies, lend us your aegis in our time of need." He braces against the mast as the ship goes toward the rocks. [B]Religion 23 (SUCCESS)[/B] *Kauldron sighs and watches the ship rush towards the shoreline.

Splinters of wood are thrown into the air as are some of the crew and yourselves. You manage to swim over to the sheet of ice where you finally have a moment to catch your breath. Adrenaline keeps you from feeling the cold, or your wounds. Moments later, the rest of the crew emerges from the man-sized hole in the ship carrying blankets to keep everyone warm.
