In past editions of Dungeons & Dragons, being in water was the worst thing that could happen to your character. Most spells don’t work, most weapons don’t work, moving around sucked, and if you were wearing armor you pretty much just start counting down the rounds and wait to die. Drowning is a primal fear and a terrible way to go.
I guess Kickman and Grayhawk are pretty much doomed.
Oh well, maybe if Aquarius is distracted for the full number of rounds it takes them to die, Blush will be able to drive in and free the hostages. Oh, wait, there’s still one Zodiac… Vir- “OOH! Squirrels!”
Looks to be the dawning of the age of that new villain…
Dang hippies!
Since you beat me to that one, here’s what Grayhawk almost said when he noticed that they were being hunted: “A quarry? Us?”
Everybody join in…. ***groan***
And yeah, falling into water while fully clothed, not to mention armoured, is really dangerous.
I have never tried swinging a sword (or anything) underwater, but I’d say they’re too slow to be useful (though pikes and spears would work better).
As for why spells don’t work, that puzzled me at first, but if you need to speak words of power to cast your spell, obviously you can’t do it underwater.
So yeah, falling into water is awful. Slightly less than acid, lava, or quicksand, still.
So how does Kickman kick himself out of a water current (or bubble, since by my understanding Aquarius should be able to carry still water, not just make water flow)? I don’t see how. If Grayhawk still has a cable and grappling hook, he can pull himself out of it for some time. How will he defeat Aquarius then?
(Aaaahhh, fond memories of the Seven Serpents come up…)
ah well, I was wrong.
Well, after all, Aquarius is the “water bearer,” and Tsunami is just water…
might e interesting to see if a hydrokinetic can win against kinetic hydro. Funny thing is, depending on how you interpret hydrokinesis, he might not actually NEED the water, after all, people are 96% more or less water, including blood, whose main ingredient is…water.
Purity isn’t an issue, if he’s using water from under the bridge, so…yeah, dude is probably newish to his powers and hasn’t realized what a concentrated nightmare he CAN be.
Yup, like the “Blood Benders” in the Avatar series (not the giant space-cats)
Oh hey I’m an Aquarius too. Also is Grayhawk a Virgo or something else.
Nah, Grayhawk is a Libra. Already took care of him with some wire cutters.
