Hello and welcome back to Mission to D6, our ongoing D&D adventure with the Lugumi's.

I'm your fearless, dungeon master, Alden Ford.

Whatever your armor class or alignment, we have more adventures for you today.

When we last left off, the bulk of

our heroes were battling evil in the caves, where more dangers surely lurk ahead. But first,

it's high time we check in on Larry and Samseys, who have just been on their own mission to cross the river

manned by fordsman Dan Siego, who of course is Bucket's X.

When they arrived, they found several surprises.

First, the river had swelled so much that Dan was now manning a ferry, not a Ford,

or rather Dan was stranded mid-river holding a tight to the rope that brings the ferry across,

yelling to be rescued.

Larry had fallen off Samesy's shoulders into the river, repeatedly lost his footing. He took one more crack at fighting

his way upstream, and he fell, hit his head on a rock, and was washed further downstream by

the current. Oops. And go ahead and roll.

I guess you have a couple choices.

You're in the middle of the river here,

kind of getting swept down.

You can either try to grab a rock as you pass by it and kind of cling.

There's a few rocks kind of sticking up out of the water.

Or you can try to swim back towards the shore.

I'm going to say the, I guess both are athletics checks.

Let's call the rock a 12 and the shore a 13.
