Shackled City - Chapter I

[kirinke]

Alinis skids to a halt, seeing the two bending over the unconscious skulk and to the sounds of the fight still going on in the room behind them. "You guys got this one?" she asks, sword in hand, hyper-alert now...

 

[Majin]

It is an easy task for the rest of the group to bring down the fleeing skulk, being as wounded as it was, it could not get far very fast.

With the immediate threat of the skulks out of the way this leaves the two tunnels, leading off to the east, and south respectively. They are not marked on your map, which alludes to the possibility they were dug after the enclave was abandoned.

"Search 'em," Orpheus says looking down at the dead skulks with contempt. He then leans against the wall and slides down it to come to a sitting position.

OOC:
(ok, this time I did state awhile back, before we started that I had purchased a healing kit from the church Um, majjin, you never did say what the discount was on those purchases,)

IC
For the first time, Alinis notices the bolt portruding from Orpheous' side. She blanched, feeling incredibly guilty that she had pushed him into that blasted room. I shouldn't have pushed...

"Damn, blast it Orpheous," Alinis cursed, kneeling beside him, examining the arrow wound. "Zeric? Guys? Orpheous is hurt, pretty badly," she said, her meager healing skills no match for this kind of wound. "I don't... I know only the basics of healing," she finished worridly.

Raven

"My thoughts exactly..." Raven says softly as she kneels beside the dead bodies. She's curious what kind of clothes, weapons, and armor they have. As well as any loot, of course...

, feeling incredibly guilty that she had pushed him into that blasted room. I shouldn't have pushed...

OOC: im sorry to tell you this but i think you pushed me (Elyas) and not Orpheous...

 

[kirinke]

ooc:
We'll just chalk that one up to the confusion of the moment and considering the hectic nature of the fight, Alinis probably would have confused the two of you at least until the adrenalin-rush wears off.

 

[hippocrachus]

With Alinis' sudden concern, Orpheus looks down and notices the bolt still sticking out from his ribs.
Damn...
He grits his teeth, raps his hand around the bolt, and pulls the bolt out; gently at first, but finding it too much to bear, determines a quick yank will get it done and over with.
He fights back the bile and gives Alinis a look that suggests where she can put her healing kit. As she is only trying to help however, he nods his thanks and stands up; the scene having come to a close in his mind.
He avoids eye-contact with Zeric and helps Raven search the dead skulks.

 

[Dhes]

"We should get back above ground, so that orpheus can get some healing and we could take the time to make sure that we return down here a bit more prepared. I for one would like to have some time to meditate on my spells."

 

[kirinke]

Alinis frowned when he rips the bolt out. It had to have hurt like a son of a half-wit leach with a bad case of tooth-rot.

He's probably not feeling much of anything at the moment. Especially if he's just noticed that he's been shot. She decided.

"It might not hurt much now, but if you don't get it checked out by a professional, it will probably hurt a heck of a lot more later. " she said conversationally as she helps them riffle through the skulks possessions.

"These guys stoop to kidnapping children for whatever. Poisoning a bolt-head is well within their capabilities," she added dryly.
