Game Play: Welcome to White Oak

Ooc: Naat!! Oh shit!! This die roller sucks.

Ooc: this is why I am having Val holdo a rope ;)

Erevior: There is a slight current moving left to right from where you are standing. That water is a bit chilly as you enter but the river provides very little challenge and you make it to the far side without any issues.

Vex: You make a less than stellar entrance as you trip while wading into the river. You hit the water hard and take in a full breathe of water. You quickly right yourself and hurry back on shore coughing up water as you do. You’re no worse for wear though.

Cyriel: You’re in a trance while Cecil scouts ahead.

Valrakas: You're holding rope (and most likely laughing at Vex).

Opening his eyes Cyriel (Ooc: not Cyril, thank you very much! ;-)) says, "Nope, not too much to see. The undergrowth is thick but the trail does continue into the woods."

*Here goes nothing...*

OOC: My spell checker/autocorrect really hates all of the names on this place. :-)

As you get to about the half way point you feel yourself drifting a bit with the current.

Let's have another Swim check...

(Ooc: this feels like dejavu on another game...)

Starting to drift, Cyriel thinks, *great, not good, I hate swimming...*

Cyriel: Determined to keep yourself from floating all the way back to Deerhaven you suddenly get into a decent swimming stride and make your way across the river - roughly 10' down stream from where Erevior ended up.

Vex: A much better entrance into the water this time results in you getting about a third of the way across before you start to sink back down into the water. You struggle to get your head above the surface as you slowly drift down stream.

Another Swim check, please.

Vex: You make better headway this time getting closer to the far bank as you drift down a little further. Confident that Valrakas won't let any real harm come to you should things go wrong you make a final push to the fair side.

One final roll...

Vex: As you struggle onto the far bank your knees can barely support your weight and you fall to ground exhausted. You're roughly 10' downstream from Cyriel and 20' from Erevior.

You will be feeling the effects of exhaustion for the next hour (disadvantage on ability checks).

The river gives Valrakas a little more trouble than he expected but his experience on the water helps him push through without incident.

You are all now on the far bank of the river. Valrakas and Erevior stand at the trail's entrance into the woods and Cryriel and Vex are a little further down stream.

That's how you handle a disadvantage roll!!
