![]() "Excellent. Follow me!!" Erevan says, leading the others to a point some 20-30 feet upstream of the stricken man. After divesting himself of most of his clothing and placing them with his backback and weapons on the ground in a neat pile, Erevan grabs one end of a rope and furiously attempts to tie a knot. Looking up in frustration "Does any of you have any skill with ropes? I'd not trust my life on any knot I can tie!" ![]()
![]() Gazing at the dwarf's receding back with a small smile, Erevan turns to Alfred and says hurredly "The man's about twenty feet out clinging to a piling, on the opposite bank, over the bridge there, so your rope would do the trick, we'd only...." he trails off as he catches sight of the ox standing placidly beside the farmer. "How does that beastie go in the river's mud, good man? I'd go out on the rope, but that creature looks bred to move about in the muck and dirt!" ![]()
![]() "Curses" Erevan hissed throwing a tattered, rotten length of rope back to the ground. "You in the water...Gerhart...Hold fast, I'll seek aid from yonder barge."
Emerging from the shadows near the wharf, Erevan initially struggles against the tide of slack jawed, exhausted peasants that made up the majority of the barge's cargo. However off to one side, a small group of more interesting individuals presented themselves. Jogging up to them, cheeks puffed out in exertion, Erevan gasps "Hail and well met fellow travelers!" , unexpectedly in the accent of the common people of Altdorf not the usually proper clipped accent of most of the Empire's elves. Stopping before the foursome, "Hello citizens....Son of Grimnir!! Please attend if you will!. My pardons for intruding, but I've found a man pistol-shot into the river, clinging for his life , myself alone unable to assist the unfortunate. Can you help? Have you rope? Can you swim ? Hurry , we've not a moment to spare !!" ![]()
![]() Unwilling to enter the fetid water, Erevan is nonetheless puzzled by his failure to see the man Perhaps he had stones in his pockets and sank. he mused as he walked downstream to see if the man fetched up further along the river. Stopping every 10 to 15 feet to cry out softly Gerhart, do you live? Perception: 1d100 ⇒ 3 ![]()
![]() Stepping out of the shadows, Erevan cocks an eyebrow toward the brothel door "Hmm, probably not much of a welcome there. Besides my purse is already light enough." patting his chest where it lay hidden.
