[ One moment, it's the heat of battle, the clang of metal against metal, and sometimes the crack of it as it severs bone and sinew. And then there's a thin line of fog, whirling around his ankles, barely noticeable amid so much distraction. But it creeps up, higher and higher, until he can't see his sword when he extends it in front of him, let alone the faces that surround him. The battlefield winks out of existence into a white wall, and suddenly the ground beneath his feet seems to as well, as it turns into liquid, and then there's a hard smack as he feels himself splash ass-backward into a pool of water that doesn't seem to have a bottom. It fills his lungs, eats away at the air that wasn't already knocked out of him.

Roll a Fortitude check to make sure he doesn't pass out (D20 + his fort save) If he makes a 13 or higher, he can maintain consciousness.

Probably a good idea to roll a Swim check too... (D20 + swim skill total) ]

[This isn't the first time that David's been whisked away to another world without his consent or but this isn't the same as the last time. The world doesn't split open so much as fade out, turning into a bright blinding haze before the ground melts out from under him and he's sinking into a pool of water.

It's only because he's done this before that he doesn't pass out (fortitude check: 21), still it takes him a moment to take stock of the situation. He lets himself continue to sink for a moment trying to see if there's anything he recognizes, before turning and kicking into a swim (swim check: 14). He keeps one hand gripped tightly on the hilt of his sword as he goes, just in case.]
