Living underwater
zestybasilpizza @zestybasilpizza
Walt,
Currently, divers doing deep dives use helium instead, and it has been used in the previous sealab trials, so there's not really a reason to not use it, but lab tests might reveal other, better mixtures.
And to be fair, if there's enough reason to put a person at the bottom of the sea, there's definitely ways to make a functional enclosure to live in. The big issue over everything else would be maintaining pressure. The actual costs for travel and transport to an underwater living space really is significantly cheaper than going to space, and in general safer; we don't have to ride an explosion to get there, and in fact it is important to take things slow in going down.
And again, it is perfectly possible to live at the pressures that exist underwater, as long as you take time to acclimate. It's almost an equal and opposite issue as space life. Honestly, we would probably have similar reasons to live underwater as we do for space: scientific study of how life reacts in high pressures, exploration of sea life, etc. We currently have companies that drill for oil in the ocean (which just seems like an absolutely ludicrous concept if you have any concern for the environment but whatever) so it's not a far stretch to think there are good places to mine on the ocean's floor. Not that I would particularly want that, but it is the most likely reason to put something down there.

Gotta love when players forget to give a crap about the rest of the team. And to be fair, any magical damage hurts lycanthropes. Our DM just had planned on a series of skeleton fights. Who didn't have magic bones.
Another fun session I had was with a new dm trying to run a premade module, something with goblins.
The party gets to the cafe and immediately run into a bugbear, who's rolling 20+ on every roll to hit and dealing 10 damage per blow (mind you the party was all level 1/2). After about the rounds of one shots our only experienced player decided to look at what was going on.
Turns out the bugbear had a weapon with a minor enchantment, and our DM had no idea how it was actually supposed to work, and had been adding way too much to every roll
Good times
