Outside, Myrtle (and the other horses and ponies), seem well. The less experienced of them seem a little uneasy, but with the chaos dying down, and the big man among them, they seem to be getting on fine. Myrtle, for her part, seems un-phased and leans in on Jonas a bit when he touches her.A small part of the group continue to do their best to aid the fallen, with Mystie providing most of the hands on, and Joren and Cruendithas making suggestions concerning whether it is safe, or advisable, to move the human stablehand.The rest of the group, at Dunkel and Wahyu's mention of it, go off to help beat back more of the nasty giant insects. Although swatting one here, and prying another off a mount there, is needed, it is immediately obvious nowhere was as hard hit as the bird-mount stable. Only one other stablehand was even attacked, most of the rest of the time the animals were preferentially targeted. Other things worth noting is that, in the direction of the arch, the stablehands are all lizard folk, and the smell grows continually worse to the point it nearly wants to make one gag.Eventually, a familiar voice is heard, "Wow, what the heck happened here?" asks a rather excited Jaycus, as he approaches Jonas with two stablehands (the ones you saw when renting the mounts) in tow. The scene out front, with splatters of blood and a half dozen stirge bodies laying about, looks awful but belies the tragedy that happened out back.About this time, those that went out to help return just, having missed what Jaycus said but seeing a discussion initiated between him and Jonas.[sblock=stuff]To move things along, I figured Mystie would continue to do her best for the human victim, so SK, feel free to add extra stuff regarding that if you like. Hawk is free to have gone out to help if Tailspinner likes. With Jaycus on the scene, we're now pretty much in free movement and discussion (for those that wish to address him, he's currently in front, with Jonas and the equines.)Anyone helping with the stirges abroad must make a DC 7 Fort save or be sickened, due to the overwhelming smell.[/sblock]</blockquote>
