Weel Naxel, roguish human cleric
penance said:
Draethan kneels down and puts his head up against Iando's chest. "No. He's still alive. But he's taken some pretty massive skull trauma... It's going to be awhile before he comes out of the coma. I suggest we camp here and let the party treat to his wounds. In the morning, we will head to the forward encampment. There will be good healers there."
Weel checks Iando over, and regretfully tells his friends,
"I'm afraid these are wounds my magic cannot affect. It would take a far more skilled healer."
And so the party rested in the clearing as the sun set, while Iando stabilized.
"I can do little for Iando, but I have a spell which can help you more quickly recover from the poison of that spider bite, Draethan," Weel says as they settle down. The ritual is slightly involved, but as Weel finishes the incantations and symbols written in the air, his hand falls on their guide and he feels his strength return.
[sblock=OOC]Using Weel's
Lesser Restoration to overcome some or all of Draethan's ability damage. With Iando out, I think Draethan's the only humanoid left who missed a save vs. poison, yes?[/sblock]
In the morn, Draethan pointed them in the direction that would reach a nearby game trail that would lead eventually to the elven camp. With the help of the adventurers, he created a makeshift litter to carry their wounded comrade.
Weel awoke feeling far better, the itching bites of the spiders mere nuisances now. He secluded himself from the others for a short time as dawn broke, closing his eyes and praying silently for guidance on the road they travelled. When he finished his morning devotions, he joined the others.
[sblock=OOC]We naturally heal 1 point per level overnight, correct? I updated Weel's sheet to reflect that. Also, a new list of prepared spells (mostly the same, but with a few swaps here and there):
Orisons (6): Create Water, Detect Magic x2, Light x2, Read Magic
1st level (4+1): Bane, Bless, Entropic Shield, Shield of Faith, Sanctuary(D)
2nd level (3+1): Bull's Strength, Lesser Restoration, Spiritual Weapon, Locate Object(D)[/sblock]
Soon, they see the highway that leads to their destination. Ostu motions for everyone to get down and be quiet; He's noticed an Orcish patrol on the main path ahead.
Weel hunkers down, crossbow at the ready, hoping that, should the group decide to attack, he can get off a round into the fleshy exposed space he's spotted in the orc leader's armor.
[sblock=OOC]Just some flavor to explain that he's hoping to get Sneak Attack damage.
