Quote from: Benoist;510800Yes, they are human.

You identify them immediately as J'son and Tarm, the two hired spearmen that went down with Ylarum the Doomed.

Then, if no threat is inminent, I help Davin as best as I can.

Quote from: Werekoala;510804Davin does the best he can with limited resources, turning his attention to the half-orc first.

(can't recall, but I do suspect I've already popped my healing spell for the day, if so I'll try to make do with bandages and such until I can pray overnight - unless he appears to be getting worse, in which case we may need to take him to a temple if one is nearby)

DM: I just checked on that and yes, Davin used his CLW spell on poor Gareth earlier.

Davin tends to Runch's wounds. He is skilled in the matter, and proceeds with all the care needed in this dire situation, Gareth lending a hand as needed, following the Cleric's instructions as best he can.

Runch seems stable. Udo takes a look as well. "You are saving his life and tending to his wounds better than I would have. I could administer some of my potions to him if need be. I think it might be helpful."

He looks at Davin, half expecting him to rebuke his offer, given their differences in matters of Faith (as a Brother of the Sword, Udo is a follower of the Church of Lothian the Redeemer. The Church is not especially known for its tolerance of other gods and religions...).

Davin wipes his hands on a rag and smiles at Udo.

"Certainly, friend. Help is always appreciated in a time of need."

Gareth returns to the pit and stares down, trying to ascertain something of what's happening down there. He peels eyes and ears.(OOC: Fat chance, I know.)

Benoist · February 03, 2012, 05:48:32 PM

Udo seems a tad surprised, but instantly focuses on Runch. He pulls two small containers from his robes. One is a glass jar containing some kind of clear blue liquid which he pours down Runch's throat after opening his mouth. "This should help revitalize him and heal his wounds."

The other contains some kind of pale ointment. The brother dips his fingers into it and starts applying the substance on Runch's wounds. "This will help him rest, and will quicken the recovery."

Davin's presence makes the whole process much quicker and almost painless for the half orc (Runch). Once done, Udo looks at their combined work and says : "He should be conscious in a few minutes."

He looks at Davin : "Thank you for your help, friend."

Meanwhile, Gareth stands over the edge of the pit while the dwarf and Quip, the child who came in with Davin earlier, are dragging the basket back to lower it once more.

DM: Roll 1d100, Gareth.

Imperator · February 05, 2012, 05:24:09 AM

I roll a 9.

Tudd looms over the clerics, looking on anxiously and whispering, "Runch be ok Bug, he important guy. Charlathan likes him."

Benoist · February 06, 2012, 04:40:56 PM

The priests tend to Runch's need. He isn't moving yet.

Gareth doesn't hear anything at first, but then... it seems to him that there are echoes coming down from the shaft. He listens to the sound of footsteps reverberating against the wall of the tunnel, and hears the other sounds, much closer, as if bits of stone and sand were falling down the shaft from somewhere between this room and the dais area down there...

Gareth will stand guard in case something climbs outta the shaft.

It's hard to tell. At the moment, it seems this very faint sound, which you were lucky to hear in the first place, is not moving towards the surface, nor is it moving away, as far as you can tell.

Werekoala · February 07, 2012, 02:48:33 PM

Davin nods, satisfied, and sets about cleaning up the mess that the healing effort has caused.

I keep watching nonetheless.

Sigmund · February 08, 2012, 08:45:27 AM

Tudd sits down next to Runch, muttering.

Benoist · February 13, 2012, 05:22:05 PM

It seems to take time for Runch to gain back any measure of consciousness. It's hard to tell whether the potion and the ointment have had any effect so far.

Gareth needs to deport himself a little bit to let Quip and Cadfan finish their preparations of the basket. The dwarf seems to notice the way Gareth listens at the edge of the well. "Is there anything the matter, friend? Do you hear something?"

Quip looks down the shaft: "We're going to lower that thing again, right? I mean. There are still people down there."

Gareth can still hear the bits of stone or sand falling down the shaft, the muffled sounds of movement down there, though they are not nearly as loud as they were a moment ago.

Imperator · February 16, 2012, 06:16:40 PM

"I'm hearing something, not sure what it is, though. Anyway, it doesn't seem to be getting any closer."
