<div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b6/Theresa06.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Theresa<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Day 1.<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Beside the wreckage of the Dread Horizon.<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Brandon, Callenda, Sae'Ka<br/><br/>She threw all her efforts into shoving the dark elven lass up the slick splintered side of the vessel.  Perhaps her hands encountered sensitive areas, maybe she pushed too hard in certain places.  Maybe, but if she did the acts didn't even register on her.  One thing she could say about the piercing cold...  her headache was gone.  But her legs no longer felt cold, they felt aflame from the inside out, and the burning sensation was growing both in both intensity and area.  She couldn't believe the pain - it was almost all she could think about.  It was certain worse than anything she'd ever felt before. Shivering, freezing, hurting, not to mention naked...  She couldn't stand it any longer.  Even without help, she had to get out of the water.  And the closest place to do that was right in front of her.<br/><br/>Reach.  Grab.  Lift.<br/><br/>Step. Reach.  Grab.  Lift.<br/><br/>The rough surface of the broken hull should have been an easy climb, but the wind and the wet and the salt-sting of seawater in her eyes and most of all the numbing pain in her lower body transformed the easy into the heroic.  Whimpering, dragging, struggling, each inch gained seemed to drain more from her fading body.  She had to go on, not just to help some unknown animal trapped in the shattered hull, but for her own survival.<br/><br/>Step. Reach.  Grab.  Lift. Step.<br/><br/>She was going to make it!  She could see a gap in the broken bulwark down into the top board of the side... the gunwale, Kyern had called it during better times when the young officer assigned himself the duty of giving her a tour of the ship.  She wondered if Kyern still lived?  Focus...  Just a few more feet and she'd be over the edge and on the uneven but relatively flat deck.  She could do it... she had to do it!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OoC</div><div class="spoiler_body">climb check, of course</div></div>
