[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9297281, member: 20459"] [I]For a long moment, no one moves, beyond the panting breaths they all take. Then, slowly, they turn and look at one another, assessing each others' condition. Mylistra moves immediately to Toriq, having her sit, tending to her wounds, murmuring yet another of Sehanine's healing words to give her aid. The others plop down onto the ground to recover their stamina, Nemo passing out some of Juniper's delicious jerky.

"See if there are any survivors and wrangle them, deal with the bodies, check out the cabin to see if that will do as shelter for the night."
