A knight always must try to help a damsel in distress even the daughter of a merchant. Not thinking anything you jumped into the black water, seeing nothing under you, and tried to catch the girl. All your clothes, even if you had removed the justaucorps and the pourpoint and were simply with a linen tunic, and your boots were trying to drag you under the water. You saw the redhead panicking and trying to stay on the surface, visibly with difficulty but you simply tried to jump to the bespectacled one. Once under the water you saw nothing, but if it was deep the well was not too big and you hoped to find something, just any part of the girl that you wanted to save.
You tried to grab anything but found only cold stone and had trouble staying on the surface. You saw practically nothing in this deep dark and the water was glacial, dulling your senses of anything but the cold. You were never a great swimmer, a child of the Champagne plains you had not many occasions to swim in a pond. Of course you knew how to swim, having to do it from time to time but you were not some Norman, Breton or Genoese as comfortable on the sea as on land. No, plunging, especially quite deep, was hard and you tried to get to the drowning girl with all your strength.
You tried to dive deep, probably deeper that you ever had in your life since the ponds near your castle were maximum as deep as one man and half, and found nothing. The girl was probably even deeper underwater and she was descending to the deeps of this pit at each lost moment. You came back to the surface, using the mossy wall to help you and dived once more into this complete darkness. You were cold, you were not sure if you could do anything but it was the right thing to do.
>Roll a d100 (I will take the average of the first 3 rolls as a result)>1-5 : you manage to get the girl back to the surface >6-30 : you manage with difficulty to get the girl to the surface.>31-50 : you manage to get to the girl but not to swim to the surface with her>51-75 : you find nothing, she is already in the dark >76-80 : The other girl drowns while you fail to save the first, you can try to save her too.>81-100 : you do not manage to get back into the surface, you die drowned like the Emperor Barbarossa on crusade.About your possible death : I was thinking of doing some kind of "fate point" for 50 piety but at the same time such a stupid death could be very funny in this kind of fantasy mudcore quest (main character drowned during a side quest) so I do not know.
A cynical part of me would say that it will give me more free time to not have to write an update each day but another part of me woes that you should die the day when I finished my entry exam for a foreign university and so I shall have a lot free time to write from now on.
So be kind please, do not drown good sirs !
