"For all that's -" Faylen grumbles, watching V'rekh swim away from their group. "We need to follow him at the very least, and try to get him out before he injures himself."
"V'rekh! What are you doing?" Borax calls out as his companion resurfaces and starts swimming down the river. ((Is he swimming with the current or against it?))
Borax scans the shore, looking to see if there is a way to follow him without getting into the water.
If there isn't, Borax jumps into the river to swim after V'rekh.
(He is swimming against the current, but it is slow enough to be inconsequential)
The bank is very muddy, so much so that characters would sink in; however, there are enough trees lining the side that someone could bound between the roots.
Anyone that wants to navigate the bank can make a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. V'rekh and anyone who want to swim after him make a Strength (Athletics) check.
Jarrett remains on the shoreline, keeping an eye out for danger while the others rush after their tortle friend. "I am no great swimmer, my friends! I shall watch your backs while the rest of you handle this."
Borax turns slightly at the sound of his name, confused why the others are calling him to stop. V'rehk is just ahead of him and if he can only catch up, maybe he could shake him out of his obsession.
Faylen is able to hop ahead along the riverbank, deftly avoiding the the muddy ground below.
V'rekh slowly swims up river but stays within everyone's field of view, Borax jumps in after him but his dense form drag on him in the muddy water, slowing him down.
Handing his glaive to Jarrett, Uthred performs a graceful dive into the river and quickly catches up to V'rekh.
(V'rekh make another Wisdom Save)
Up river, in the dim red light, Faylen can make out some figures moving between the trees.
V'rekh stops swimming towards the light and slowly turns his head towards Uthred. The lights are not calling to him anymore and he looks confused at his companion "I don't remember falling into the water, where are the others?"
Borax treads water, fighting to keep his place in the river. "You...ah...you jumped in. Now let's head to shore." Now that V'rekh has stopped swimming and the current starts to move him back toward the bridge, Borax catches up with him. "What was it like? What was happening?"
V'rekh wisdom saving throw: 5
Wis save 22
Faylen Wis Save: 6
Jarrett Wis Save: 10
The red light fills the sky again.
V'rekh and Faylen jump in the water and begin to swim upstream toward the light.(Second save for Faylen since she has advantage 21)
V'rekh jumps in the water and begins to swim upstream toward the light.
"For all that's -" Faylen grumbles, watching V'rekh swim away from their group. "We need to follow him at the very least, and try to get him out before he injures himself."
Ooc: I don't remember if this tortle is able to swim or not
"V'rekh! What are you doing?" Borax calls out as his companion resurfaces and starts swimming down the river. ((Is he swimming with the current or against it?))
Borax scans the shore, looking to see if there is a way to follow him without getting into the water.
If there isn't, Borax jumps into the river to swim after V'rekh.
V'rekh doesn't answer Borax's call and keeps swimming, the lights are calling his very soul.
OOC: tortles swim as well as humans, their swimming speed is 15 feet. But they can hold their breath up to one hour.
Uthred shouts at the tortle.
He follows his companion by the shore and tries to poke him with the rear of the glaive

Jarrett remains on the shoreline, keeping an eye out for danger while the others rush after their tortle friend. "I am no great swimmer, my friends! I shall watch your backs while the rest of you handle this."
Valaith "Rimehand" Kalukavi - Chronicles of Arden
Swearing aloud, Uthred gives to Jarret his glaive

Then he jumps into the water to save his torltle companion

V'rekh keeps swimming towards the light, in his head it may even be the tempestuous source of his magical powers.
Second wisdom saving throw: 21
Upon Uthred startling V'rekh, he snaps out of his trance.
V'rekh stops swimming towards the light and slowly turns his head towards Uthred. The lights are not calling to him anymore and he looks confused at his companion "I don't remember falling into the water, where are the others?"
