The priest, with Alessin's aid, is able to stabilize the innkeeper. The children and the traveller who was hit with a javelin, however, are already dead.
The elf wizard, Ari, is able to determine that one of the potions is of the healing variety, but a minor one. He tastes the rest and realizes that they are all the same.
(OOC: 4 potions CLW)
However, both the dwark monk, and Ari fail to remember any useful information about the pantheon of the lizardfolk.
One of the travellers who was hiding by the hearth, on his hurried way out the door,"Orlane is a few days travel East from here -- follow the road and the Realstream, keep the Dim Forest to your left, and the Rushmoors at your right -- and you should have no trouble finding it, but beware, I've heard that sinister and mysterious evil is at work in the village! Thank you for your bravery and good luck!" The frightening traveller then is out the door.
Ari administers a healing potion to the Innkeeper, he coughs a few times, then reopens his eyes. "Wha? Wher? Are they gone?" He says, as he sits up, he sees the carnage inside of his tavern,"Thank you all for saving us, and, er, me!"
Alessin drinks one of the healing potions, and immediately feels better, some of his major wounds close quickly. (7 hp healing)

Gideon
Gideon stops stuffing his face for a moment, and raises an eyebrow (The one that still works...nerve damage you know), at the words of the cowardly traveller. Hmm I was heading there anyway, and if the bad guys carry as much loot as these six did, i might make some profit while i relax...
"Well I for one intend on checking out this Orlane first thing tomorrow". Or whenever I wake up... "If you guys want to tag along you're welcome to". "Never hurts to have someone to watch your back"... Or to serve as targets for enemy arrows and javelins.
"Hey bartender! got any more of that stew"!

Sneering at the avaricious human, Ari pops off, You're lucky you're good in a fight. Otherwise we might be inclined to let you die the minute you stumble into the first lizard-infested sacrificial ceremony. And as for the money... he says quickly snatching up his share, ...that will be used to pay for burying these two and cleaning up this kind innkeeper's premises.
Ari walks over to the innkeeper and hands him the coins, asking if he would be so kind as to seek a rightful burial for the deceased and keep whatever is left to help defray the cost of damages to his establishment and the cleanup that will be necessary.
The remaining two vials contain potions of healing. One to the priest and one for myself. The priest because it will supplement his divine power, and myself because I'm either likely to be using it on one of your unconscious bodies or you'll be needing it for mine should someone catch me before I manage to cast a defensive spell.

Stonefist- M Dwarven Monk 2 (AC: 15, HP: 11/19)
Watching the conversation between the elf and the human, Stonefist wonders why such perfect strangers can get off to such a bad start and be so rude to one another. Shaking his head and running his strong hands through his beard, Stonefist speaks his peace. "The souls of those children cry out for help still, and the souls of the others slain here cry out for vengance. So I shall be going to Orlane to do what I may. You would wait until tomorrow to leave though? But perhaps it is best to get in a full day of traveling. I confess though that mine heart cries out to speed my feet along the path at the earliest chance."

Alessin Greenbond, 11/12 hp
Alessin sighs in relief as the magical potion heals the majority of his wounds. Feeling much better, he finds he can only shake his head at the argument between Ari and Gideon. "Come now, there is no need for this sort of discord! After all, we just fought so well together, did we not? You may be an oafish clod," he says gesturing toward Gideon, "and you may be a spineless tool of the oppressive wizardry," turning in turn to Ari. "But, after all, had we not all united against those noisome lizards just now, we may well be dead. Good Daron here understands that well enough, yes?"
Turning then to Stonefist, Alessin continues his speech. "And you, I think, are letting your heart overrule your head, dwarf. Like this fellow," Alessin indicates Gideon with a scowl, "...and I can't believe I am in agreement with him, but I am...I feel we would be better served departing on the morrow with rested bodies and refreshed minds. Indeed, if there is trouble afoot in Orlane, I would know more of it also. But I think it folly to rush off in our current state."
"Oh, and by the way, my name is Alessin. People say I'm something of a vagabond at times...but I'm handy to have around." The dark haired elf concludes with a little smirk.

"Well met Alessin. I am Stonefist, a monk without a monestary and traveling the world in search of peace. Strange it is how all I have found so far is violence.", he speaks the last softly and almost to himself while looking down at the stains on the floor. Raising his eyes once more to look at those around him, he continues. "Perhaps you are correct though about waiting till morning. My wounds are in need of some healing time as well and a good nights rest would start the process best. I just pray that our delay costs no further lives in Orlane."
Gideon Novak - Human Mercenary
Gideon looks at the loud talkative elf and yawns. "If you fought as well as you talked, you could have taken them all down by yourself, and our dinner wouldn't be spilled". "And I've already given the Innkeeper coin for repairs". "And I know where I come from we don't bury other peoples children without finding out who they are, and if the parents want the bodies returned". "I guess elves are different".
"It seems you care for others dosen't apply to the Dwarf whom fight with his bare hands". "He is injured as well, but you decided to keep the other potion instead of give it to him".
"And as for you". Gideon looks at Alessin, "I really don't care what you think of me". You don't have to like someone, or even agree with them to fight by their side". "It's only practical to keep your allies alive, to extend your own life".
"Good to meet you Stonefist", Gideon says to the Dwarven Monk. "I am called Gideon". "Unfortunately once you left the monastary you came to see what real life is like". "It is all violence, rage, and death; so you might as well be good at it". If you require healing, I have a potion I would share with you".
OOC: Its obvious that Gideon has no respect for elves, but values their quick wits and hands. He has a healthy respect for the Dwarven Warrior culture. (Hope you guys are having as much fun with the banter as I am. If not let me know and we can drop it.)

"Nay Gideon, keep your potion for I have some as well. If this town of Orlane is a few days away, I should be able to heal naturally within that time. Or nearly so at least. But I thank you for your offer nontheless." Stonefist says with a respectful nod of his head. "As for burying the children, I got the feeling that they were from Orlane themselves and we shall not find their parents anywhere near us here to contact. The best we can do is inter their bodies now and seek out the parents to inform them of the fate of their children."

Ari scowls at the self-absorbed man and sits himself down. He takes several deep breaths and then speaks, I beg all of your pardons. You are absolutely correct, Alessin. I tend to get a bit... heated at times. My temper is my vice and I shall endeavor to control it more closely in the future.
I am known as Ari the Flame, and as I have already demonstrated, heat and fire are my specialties, though I am a purveyor of many various magics with diverse applications. I too wish to visit Orlane to see if righting the wrong done by these reptiles and their blasphemous religion is possible. However I would cast my lot with those who favor a rest before setting out. It is late, after all, and not all of us are equipped with... he pauses for a moment to look over at Gideon and grin before continuing, night vision. Besides that, a rest would do us all good and allow those injured to recover some strength as well as myself a number of spells.
Now, he proceeds, smoothing out his robes and standing up, As to the disbursement of curative agents, I am willing to hear opposing theories on how best to divide the provisions if such theories persist, but I believe I have offered an adequate and effective method of division for the vials, so I hope our time will not be wasted on such a trifle. For those who are injured, I have no intention of keeping you from being rejuvenated and if you require such sustenance I shall provide all that I have in my power to move you towards a healthier state. I merely doled out the potions as I saw fit with practicality and wisdom that comes with many long years of experience. Suffice it to say that one only need ask if you desire a remedy for your ailments and it shall be provided.
