[GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

[nakia]

I think Haskins is taken care of... would you like to help Teddy? He's sort of floundering around near the bank.

"AH!". . .splash. . ."Jaysus!". . .sputter. . ."Damn jungle!". . .cough. . .splash

 

[solomoncane]

OOC: Since Hambrick may not be strong enough to pull Teddy out on his own, he will try to use his horsemanship to coaz the horse close to the the bank.

Hambrick (under his breath), "Don't cross here, I said."
Hambrick firmly urges his horse to the bank near Teddy. He tries to let the reins dip down to where Teddy might reach them. If Teddy can grab them, Hambrick will use the horse to pull Teddy out. "Hang on, brother, grab the reins if you can" he yells.

Teddy?

 

[nakia]

I'll grab away! Sending a "grab reins" roll, just in case it's needed.

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

Teddy pushes away his burden and grabs the reins dangling over his head.

Almost simultaneously, Rawley and Joshua urge their horses away from the river-- and the horses are eager to please.

Haskins and Teddy are hauled up onto the bank.

Haskins' clothes are in tatters and he's bleeding badly.

A few toothy-mawed fish, no larger than a man's hand, made the ride onto shore with him, and flop wildly on the bank, trying to make it back to the water.

Of Haskins' horse, there is no sign but a bubbling, bloody scrum that continues to move slowly downriver.

 

[Old One]

Brigitta

Brigitta moves to Haskins as soon as he is safely up on the bank and begins to bandage his wounds. Once the bleeding is stopped, she will examine him in greater detail to assess the need for more substantial work [surgery].

"Rest easy, Mr. Haskins...I will have you stiched up in no time."

Once Haskins is attended to, she will examine/treat any others that are injured...saving herself for last.

[OOC: She will "Take 10" on all heal checks, assuming things have calmed down enough to do so. Brigitta hits a 22 with taking 10. Several 1d4 "restore hp" rolls sent.]

[ragboy]

T. Rawley sits his horse and recoils the rope, taking great pains to conceal his shaking hands. Untying the knot in the middle when he reaches it, he steps Brindle over to Bill and hands him his coil.

"Much obliged," he says, then calls to the group. "Who belongs to this other rope?"

No problem to Take 10; in the future, feel free to just post the results for everyone affected.

Anyone who is wounded, please remember you can also spend an AP to heal 1d6, and this is an "exploding" die-- if you roll a 6, you roll again and add it.

I allow you to spend this AP at one of two times: either immediately after combat, or anytime you are reduced to negative HPs (so it can keep you from dying).

"Who belongs to this other rope?"

One of the two ropes the group has is intact; the other rope is missing 10 feet from where Teddy cut loose. That portion is still staked to the opposite bank.

Haskins is now missing anything he wasn't carrying on his person. Looking at his list of equipment, I think this would be his tent, his survival kit, his blanket, and his machete.

He has his rifle, his ammo belts, his hunting knife, his bayonet, and his service revolver.

Technically his uniform isn't in such hot shape, either.

I will wait to post further to allow the group to collect themselves and attend to tidying themselves up. Let me know when you are ready to move on.

 

[nakia]

Teddy stands, dripping, and checks to see if anything is still clinging to his body. He'll then look back at the river to see if he can see what it was he bumped up against in his swim over.

Spot check sent

Edit after spot check -- What river? Rolled a 1.

 

[Fenris]

Haskins: "Now, now Miss. Attend to your wounds first. I let you down and you got injured. These paltry things aren't bad. Really I don't need a doctor, I need a tailor!" And he laughs weakly, but makes no real effort to to much but liie resting for a bit under Brigetta ministrations
