She responds, "Me go, yes," and nods her head vigorously.Askari opens the trapdoor and using mostly gesture he indicates that one free, she is to enter there. She, of course, agrees. Oorvid frees her, though he is ready with his axe should she prove untrustworthy. She shakes her body to get the blood flowing, then goes straight to the opening and climbs down the ladder.[spoiler=Physical Aid]Askari: 31(medicine) + 36(restore) + 77(d100) = 144Time: 60 days / (144 + 156 + 132 + 118 + 117) = 3 hoursAstrid: 42 + 29 + 85 = 156Oorvid: 21 + 43 + 68 = 132Time: 3 hoursVolki: 37 + 31 + 50 = 118Wrenn: 28 + 29 + 60 = 117Time: 3 hours[/spoiler]In the normal manner of rendering physical aid, each person is able to help press wounds closed and accelerate the natural healing process. This makes each man even more hungry. Though their bodies are recuperating, a steady throb sets in on each man's head, which all three categorically ignore, because there are tasks to be done.Astrid and Wrenn find a total of 16 usable arrows, all with Ularin heads. Wren thanks Astrid and uses them to replenish his dwindling supply.During the process of moving the bodies, the pain in each man's head becomes more than a distraction. The bodies they are moving are dropped, unceremoniously, and vision begins to blur. At almost the same instant, all three men fall to the ground, unconscious. No amount of effort by the two ladies has any effect. They are left with no recourse but to guard them, hoping no enemy returns so soon.Afternoon wears into night. The men have not moved from where they had fallen, except for what Astrid and Volki could do to make them lay more comfortably. Fortunately, the sounds of the forest indicate that all has returned to normal.The women get little sleep that night, but morning finds the men whole and waking. The hunger has gone from a dire need to an unavoidable necessity, and all three ravenously devour all available dried rations, both those of the party and those recovered from the enemy. More food will be needed; but for now, at least the head pain is gone and thoughts of other things can be attended.Apparently the enemy is not to be so rash as to rush back upon an enemy that has proven to be formidable, for no sign of any other people has yet been detected. The items that looked to be of interest have been collected.[gm]A decision should now be considered as to relocating the party or the bodies, but relocating both is a bit moot, under the suspicion of a time constraint. The items can be analyzed later.[/gm][spoiler=Character Data]Askari:: Body: 4, injured.Shirt: 34 - 1 = 33 - 3 = 30 - 3 = 27Astrid: full wellnessMantle: 25 - 1 = 24Stones: 20Oorvid:: Body: 4, injured.Tunic: 62 - 1 = 61 - 6 = 55Volki: full wellnessTunic: 45Wrenn:: Body: 4, injued.Tunic: 59 - 1 = 58 - 1 = 57Ularin Arrows: 6 + 16 = 22[/spoiler][spoiler=Collections]41 marks: currency(helps Astrid or Hiroshi)white ingot: 2, ??(helps all characters)Bat Guano: 6 measures, {heat x2}black claw necklace: 1, ??Spider Claws: 5 sets, {toxicity x2}Spider Fangs: 4 sets, (Cohesion +3)(helps Volki or Wrenn)Bandy Feathers: 1, (Strength +2)Goat Beard: 1, (Will +2)Heckling Jay Feathers: 1, (Will +2)Viper Blood: 1 measure, {athleticism x3}Viper Venom: 1, {toxicity x3}(helps Askari or Oorvid)Bandy Skull Talisman: 1, (Strength +2)jawbone: 1, ??Teal Skull: 1, (Cohesion +2)Viper Skull: 2, (Motility +2)waterfowl skull: 2, ??(helps all characters)Coal: 7 bricks, {heat x3}Slate: 1, {sound x2}Lodestone: 2, {shock x3}Livestone: 5, (Strength +2)(helps Volki or Wrenn)Mend Leaves: 3 measures, {Mend x2}Rend Leaves: 2 measures, {Siphon x2}Flowers: 4 measures, {Restore x3}Tranquility Flowers: 1 measure, {Identity x3}[/spoiler][spoiler=Discoveries]Bat Colony: 2Chain of Keeps Tunnel Systemname: Temnyy VeterRheini Village[/spoiler][ooc]Everyone receives 5 DP.
