Time for the Tomb of Borrors!

[Trapdodger Barefoot]

"You Bliches ready?"

Waits to see who else is interested in being in the lead Kayak.....

[JRR Tolkien]

DD: This river is flowing a whole lot quicker than Willy Wonka's

[AM HEALER]

I'll share Nasty's kayak. That way if we find something we want to kill along the way none of you killjoys will stop us.

What is it with this group and liches.

Nesod, Nesod. Wherefor art thou Nesod?

[Jenny the Jellymancer]

I am not sure getting flushed out is a brilliant idea.

[Alick]

I could control a boat, but not all of them.

[Det-Det Misthanger]

*beckons to Alissa and then one of the nearby boats, pushing it towards the river and picking at the rope holding it in place with his claws*

"The way deeper is with the flow, after the tracking one..."

[Tvashtri Abdul-Khasis]

Tvashtri gets into one of the kayaks, stowing all his mechanicals save Minimus Macabre, whose manipulating appendages, though crude, are decently strong and could help Tvashtri with his paddling.

[JRR Tolkien]

So far I have Nasty and AMH in the lead kayak..yes?

[The Nasty Orc]

Yes paddling along. "AM Healer is probably in the back guiding the boat. Nasty doing all the grunt work.

[Jenny the Jellymancer]

Okay, I climb into Tvashtri's kayak and grab a paddle.

[Alick]

I climb into one and... Invite the bear to join me?

[JRR Tolkien]

None of these kayaks came with paddles.

Nasty/AMH: As you get yourself moving along to the mercy of the river. Bouncing off the sides You disappear into the darkened tunnel.

Jenny/TAK: You both will be in kayak 2, 1 rd behind Nasty and AMH.

Alick: That is up to Alissa as it is her companion

[Ranger Alissa]

*Climbs in with Alick.*

I wish we still had the sea lions. They could have acted as scouts.

[AM HEALER]

Or fashion accessories.

[Trapdodger Barefoot]

"Weeeeeeee!"

[JRR Tolkien]

Ok then Alick and Alissa are in kayak 3, you are 1 rd behind Jenny and TAK

[The Nasty Orc]

"Or snacks.... I mean what is a trip without snacks."

"AM, You want a bite of the seal lion I have some strips left over I was laying out to dried up as jerky."

[Trapdodger Barefoot]

"Weeeeeeee! Ah let's go all the way......"

[Alick]

I put a telekinetic bubble around our kayak to keep us from getting bounced around any.

[Ranger Alissa]

Then how will we move?

[Jenny the Jellymancer]

Float, float, float your boat...

[Det-Det Misthanger]

*frozen in fear like a Halloween decoration on the front of Alick's kayak, claws digging into the wood as deep at catfolkly possible*

[Ranger Alissa]

Don't worry. If you fall off, you will just fall thru the water and land on the floor below.

[Alick]

I'll let the current still carry us, but I don't want to get banged around in the process.

[JRR Tolkien]

Ok so that puts TD and DD in kayak 4

Alick: The bumping is pretty mild, so you don't have to put up a telekinetic sphere.

Alissa: The river will carry you along just fine.

DD: These are 2 person kayaks, so unless you wish to dump Alissa, Alick and yourself into the river you will have to ride with TD.

The river heads into the dark tunnel meandering in an easterly direction, eventually taking a gentle turn north and then west.

The current is slows as you head further in, all in all it is a pleasant ride.

Nasty/AMH

Spoiler:

Somewhere up in the darkness you hear a sound reminiscent of rushing water

[Schism]

We were sailing along
On Moonlight Bay
We could hear the voices ringing
They seemed to say
"The water is not for drinking."

[AM HEALER]

I love sea lion jerky. Thanks, Nasty!

[AM HEALER]

On a separate note, don't you all find the sound of that waterfall soothing? I've always loved that sound.

[Det-Det Misthanger]

Continues to be frozen in hydrophobic paralysis, but realizes that he'll tip the kayak; Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 Assuming he passes, are there any less encumbered kayaks nearby to jump to?

[Jenny the Jellymancer]

Alick... Something tells me this is going to suck... Should I try to block the passage?

[Tvashtri Abdul-Khasis]

Tvashtri takes a moment to stow Minimus Macabre with the others, then takes out his traveler's any-tool and molds it into a sort of harness to anchor him to his boat.

[Alick]

It'd probably be a safe idea. Just try not to digest the kayaks in the process. I'll send some crystals down to scout. -sends a few crystals a glow and flies them further down to investigate the source of the sound-

[JRR Tolkien]

Schism: Very nice song, You should be a bard

AMH: Rushing water makes me run to the bathroom

DD: You are in the kayak with TD so no problem

Jenny/Alick: You now hear the sound of rushing water in the distance

Alick: How far do those lights go?

[Trapdodger Barefoot]

"That's what I get for trying to sneak in a song!"

Was trying to sneak in Sly Fox's, Let's go all the way...

[Waglinde]

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Waglinde's River Song interlude

Going Down

[Jenny the Jellymancer]

(Just realized I was in Tvashtri's kayak, sorry)

... NOT digest? Hmmm... That is going to be a problem. Also, if I block the passage, I am going to get shot out of it, or the dungeon will get flooded... Better perhaps to just hang on tight...

NO WAY!!

I know what happens to bards in this group.

[Tvashtri Abdul-Khasis]

"Do my senses deceive me, or do I hear pirates singing somewhere up ahead?"

[The Nasty Orc]

Not needing light with his dark vision does Nasty see anything up ahead of him? You know where the sound of rushing water is coming from?

[JRR Tolkien]

TAK: No pirates but this is a ride you find at Disneyland.

Nasty: The dark tunnel extends more than 60'

The sounds of rushing water is getting louder.

Unless anyone wants to do something,..

[Ranger Alissa]

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

:o

[Trapdodger Barefoot]

"Don't go chasing waterfalls......"

[AM HEALER]

Dude now that song is in my head and it really makes me want to throw you over a waterfall.

[Alick]

I put a crystal on each boat and stop them telekinetically. Also, the crystals I sent forward go until the source of the sound is found. I can scry through them.

[JRR Tolkien]

Alick: Let's say about 90' in front of Nasty/AMH, the nice river you are turns downward at about a 60 degree angle. Imagine the log ride at an amusement park and you get the general idea. Somewhere down below the tunnel opens up as you see light at the end of the tunnel 8>)

[Tvashtri Abdul-Khasis]

Tvashtri takes out his parasol and holds it tightly in his tail.

[Trapdodger Barefoot]

Trap prepares for the inevitable, splash, crash or boat pile-up......

[AM HEALER]

Dude, I love the log ride. Unless I've been eating candy all day. Which I have.

Now that I think about it, might have to hurl.

[Ranger Alissa]
