(OOC) Fitz's Folly (ToA PBP)

[gargoyleking]

Would it be possible for Harb to block Dellrak from running away? Maybe force him to dodge instead of run? It'd probably be safer for him in the long run.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Frightened doesn't cause you to run... You just can't move closer to the source and have disadvantaged while the source is in line of sight.

 

[gargoyleking]

Ok, that works too then.

 

[Ancalagon]

Is it back luck on the dice? It's looking might touch and go here :O. Let's home that our druid guide has some kind of crowd control spell or something to push them back.

I sometimes wonder what exactly a person can do with a (non-modern) medkit that would help someone WHILE THEY ARE FIGHtING.

Ideas:

1: Pain-numbing Root/Herb ("Here, chew on this!")
2: Bladder/wineskin of stimulant ("Drink up!")
3: Clippers to chop-off arrow-shafts (leave the heads in).

Any other ideas? I mean there are almost more ways to imagine how you could help (even by propping the fighter up) WITHOUT using up a consumable. Personally, I find (IRL) just having someone shout to me, "You got this!" to be very helpful (that's why I never minded the Warlord's "healing" in 4e, other than when it caused the dying to get back up - though that was easily explained by suggesting that they only *thought* they were dying until the expert told them it wasn't as bad as it felt like).

How about taking a page from Naruto? Medicine pills that gives the user a burst of energy to keep fighting.

- wash the wound with water
- cover the wound with some vaseline-equivalent (to remove exposure to oxygen) - a poultice
- apply pressure, give a cloth that can stop things pouring out.

This all makes sense, except that the patient is fighting a monster....

 

[Kobold Stew]

p'shaw. You've got an undefined portion of six seconds!

Usually they used honey on wounds (disinfect & antibiotic properties) and chew willow bark (reduce fever and inflammation).
They also got access to opium though, so

"it is conceivable that an extract of opium poppy applied on a wound might be absorbed in a large enough amounts to work as a shot of morphine." The Healing Hand: Man and Wound in the Ancient World

Maybe Harb could have some kind of ointment based on opium and honey ready to apply on open wounds with some compress?
