The PC in question was just inspecting the wound, not treating it, in what I'm discussing.From my experience of cinematic moments in fantasy movies (Conan, LotR, etc.), most people that fight the "PCs" are just out of their league, and have no real chance of hurting them. That is, Conan can kill 20 guys, but might lose to either one of the priests in a one on one fight. In the LotR movies, Boromir can fight many orcs at once, but Lurtz can fell him with several arrows. So, like I suggested, if you want a cinematic feel, have the players be higher level, have them fight a horde of goblins or other low level creatures, but add another threat if you want them to be legitimately challenged. In most cinematic moments in fantasy movies, the minions aren't much of a threat, and might only be one if they sneak up on a hero and put a sword to the back of their neck.If you want gritty, play lower level, where those goblins are a real threat, no matter how skilled you are. This just isn't the case from what I've observed of cinematic fantasy movies. As always, play what you like <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
