With the help of the three others, it is finished quickly and with care Bubbles and Alton lift Kiylea up and Jerran and Ringly slide the stretcher under her. Hanging the small lamp from the end of one of the spears, they are ready to move."One, two, three..." Alton calls out and on three they uniformly lift the stretcher carrying Kiylea to their shoulders, although Jerran and Ringly struggle with the weight, Alton and Bubbles pick up the slack and they begin to make their way slowly back towards the Greenbottle Brewery.[ooc]Aid Another Checks (<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=68733" target="_blank">11, 3, 23</a>), Stretcher Building (<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=68734" target="_blank">17</a>)[/ooc]Greenbottle BreweryBanging on the door, Eddie nearly leaps out of his skin when he hears a creak on the steps behind him. Spinning around, his hand dives for his shortsword only to realize that it's Patty Greenbottle, Bubbles closest aged brother. The attractive youth stares for a moment at Eddie, unsure as to whether this is some mangled attempt at a break-in or he really needs help. "Can I help? I was already awake when I heard your racket." He apparently wasn't around earlier when you had first gathered as he seems to not know what is going on. He looks up behind Eddies shoulder as the front door swings open and Almose and Finnigan stand there, in hastily put on trousers. Finnigan's warm voice follows, tinged with concern, "what happened lad? Something about Kiylea? Should we go get Clara... oh, wait... she's out of town, don't be liking to bother Alton this late but if it's urgent."As Eddie hastily explains the situation, Finn also appears in the doorway, wearing a chain shirt over a cotton shirt, a Tillbough longsword strapped to his hip. Hearing the news he rushes to the stables and in moments is pounding down the road towards town. Finnigan and Almose listen to Eddie, and Mya comes out with a cup of tea to calm the boys nerves.A few minutes later Patty points out into the darkness and a single dot of light can be seen coming down the road, soon it expands and you can see the four halflings (Jerran, Ringly, Alton and Bubbles) carrying something together on their shoulders. As they get closer, you realize it is Kiylea on a makeshift stretcher. Almose, Patty, Perry and even Mal rush to help while Mya runs inside to prepare a comfortable spot.The four halflings sweaty and tired are glad to be helped by the four Greenbottle boys, giving up their positions on the stretcher. It makes its way up the porch and inside Mya has prepared the simple couch in their living room for Kiylea to rest upon, a dark grey sheet thrown over it so as not to stain the fabric. With the four Greenbottle boys and Mya's motherly guidance, they move Kiylea from the stretcher to the couch.Outside Finnigan has clasped Bubbles into a fatherly hug, worried about his daughter, he has more than happy to see her well. They all move inside, Eddie informs them that Finn has ridden hard into town to get Father Alton. As the five halflings sit, their fatigue from the event becomes evident, Mya places a small cup of tea in front of each of them. Their hands shake from adrenaline and exhaustion, but it is soon soothed by the sweet warm tea.As they sip their tea, the sound of hooves and men comes from outside, Finnigan rises and opens the door as Father Alton is helped by Mero and Finn into the room.*Play it out from here*</blockquote>
