Ray kneels besides the gnoll. "This one shall not die, at least by my hand."

He stands back up, and begins to tend to his own bleeding wounds.

OOC: 18-/34 HP

"Brother Ray, leaving an enemy behind us, while merciful to him, is not to us."

Eva mouths a word of thanks to Kiera as she catches her breath. The heavy blows from the Gnoll have left Eva's ribs sore and still bruised, even with Kiera's healing prayers.

Still breathing with some difficulty, Eva bows her head and remembers to thank Pelor for His help against the Gnolls.

Eva is at 32 HP according to my count too.

And I think Eva will conveniently "forget" to pick up that spear. It's hard to think about good ways to use that thing because there's no good place to store a spear, even if I like the idea of carrying it around as a battle standard. It just made more sense as a lance, and on horseback...

"I'm not at all certain that would be a merciful act at all. If I was lying unconscious and bleeding here, at the mercy of my enemies, I would much sooner have them end my life cleanly than leave me for the scavengers. I don't like it any more than you do, but I believe we should finish this." He does not look at the gnoll as he speaks, but as he finishes he turns reluctantly to it and shifts his grip on his spear, showing willing to have the courage of his convictions if need be.
 

Geeo will look from one person to another, giving them all the evil eye.

[sblock=NLF] detecting evil, i'm gonna assume the gnoll is and everyone else isnt. if thats the case, geeo will calmly walk over and cou-de-grah the gnoll, saying this one is corrupt and eeds to be sent back to his lord, so that he may attone[/sblock]
 


Ray:
[Sblock]OOC: THanks for keeping up with the bleeding, Bront. I was tallying it, but I don't think the other players were picking up on your subtle hints.[/Sblock]

As Ray tends his own wounds and Cassient grips his spear, Geeo quietly walks over the the gnoll and respectfuly puts it out of its misery and into death. Compared to the last death at the hands of his maul, this death seems quite merciful - yet final. As the maul lands on the gnoll's chest, the ribs inside his body can be heard to crack. From the force of the blow, the gnoll's legs and head bounce up off the ground several inches, but they fall limply back onto the ground afterward. A small pool of blood begins to soak through the gnoll's back hair and spread in a circle on the ground around the gnoll. This circle stops growing quickly, however, as the death of the gnoll means its heart is no longer moving blood through its arteries and veins.

[Sblock]OOC: Rather than put words in his mouth for JonnyFive, I'll let Geeo speak for himself or let him answer to the players if need be regarding his action.[/Sblock]
 

Cassient turns hurriedly away from the grisly spectacle, but gives a respectful nod to Geeo. In truth he is more than a little thankful for his actions - he would have done the deed himself, but he did not relish the prospect.
 

Yavarin gives a shrug at the Geeo's smash and turns to the floor trying to determine which tunnel the gnolls came from and whether the tracks showed more could be around.
 

Eva averts her eyes from the wounded gnoll and its dead companions. Though she cares little for her enemies, she would rather not be reminded of her own mortality... and also of the gnolls' humanity, no matter how slight.

She dutifully picks up the greatsword that the gnoll was using. "This was carried by others who came through here... perhaps others like us who sought to bring Goodness to the blighted land of Quehalost. It is not right to leave this blade to the darkness." Then she endeavors to secure it on her back - simply to carry it, and with little care to whether or not she can draw it in battle since her goal is to dispose of the blade respectfully after exiting the cave.

Eva notices Geeo's look, and simply shrugs her shoulders (albeit with some degree of difficulty due to her bruised ribs). She bears no particular malice towards the Gnolls, especially since Eva considers them beyond Pelor's salvation. The Gnolls are simply obstacles to her goals, and she avoids any reminder or discussion of their merits as living things, tacticians, or anything more than the soul-less objects that she considers them to be.
