<DIV>Not that I want to be discouraging but I just had a discouraging thought
and wanted to share it with the rest of you. The only thing I see in the
creature list that swims and fits this general description is a Wyrm. By
my calculations 24 knots is about 48' in game terms. Wyrm's swim at 16'
but they are chaos oriented and if they were aided by some malicious chaos
force and sent here to attack us with the addition of a friendly current spell
could be traveling at 56' or more.<BR><BR></DIV>
