The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

[Scotley]

Alban

Alban shakes what he can of blood and gore from his gear and then plants the haft of his axe in the ground before removing his helm. He pauses to give a brief prayer of thanks to the light for delivering everyone from this battle alive if not unwounded. Rising from one knee he tucks his helm under his arm and takes up his axe. "Well fought gentlemen and lady. Lads you've done more than any could have asked of you. I commend you all for standing with us." He ignores the fact that they were used as bait by the enemy. "Our enemy was cunning. We must be on our guard. I for one am spent. I've nothing left to offer today. Let us mount and move on quickly. Perhaps we can get far enough from the enemy to gain a little rest before another day of war is upon us." Looking at his band of butchers he adds, "Do we have time to wash in the stream before we move on?"

OOC: Aura to boost spot, listen and Init. by +2 to those within 10'

"Alban, I'll stand guard and hold your mount while you wash. Will you return the favor?"

"Alban, I'll stand guard and hold your mount while you wash. Will you return the favor?"

"Of course, thank you my friend, we make a frightful sight."

Andor Anande de Andrade

Andor dismounts and quietly goes among his companions and children administering healing where needed.

OOC: only orisons left so magical healing as needed for children to speed things up(and to impress them by power of Pelor of course) speaking prayers softly and clearly. He takes time as he gets it to bandage his companions as they emerge from the river.

Heal roll for everyone, order by Galery of Heroes (Nijel Bladesong=19, Katherine 'Kat' Brightlaw=17, Ewan Driscoll=24, (Sir) Roak Adari =24, Padraig MacOisian=11, Padraig MacOisian=14, Padraig MacOisian=24, Alban Bastian=13, Alban Bastian=23)

OOC: target DC is 15, game effects don't exists except for characters that are bleeding to death, but as we will travel it seems logical to have the wounds taken care of. I skipped Aidan and Andor because Padraig hogged all the rolls for himself

You might leave some gore on yourself and take that time to find the place to rest.

Darkness fall Padraig! I don't seem to be able to bandage your wounds properly, must be all that dragon coursing through you!


Little disturbingly, while bandaging Padraig, someone observing carefuly (or not so carefuly in Padraig's case) might notice that several times during healing Andor puts his bloodied fingers in his mouth and cleans the blood from them by licking/sucking it off. He doesn't smile, but does seem to enjoy it. That is, except when he notices it and jerks his hand out wiping it on the grass or washing in his bowl.

Alban glady lends a hand with the healing.

OOC: Andor seems to have covered most the rolling that might be needed, so Alban will just assist to speed things along and treat Aidan and Andor himself.

Heal check for Aidan (1d20+8=24)
Heal Check for Andor (1d20+8=10)
Heal check for Andor #2 (1d20+8=14)
Heal check for Andor #3 (1d20+8=10)

"Curse the darkness Andor, this wound is particularly nasty. I'm sorry, if you'd just hold still for a minute more I think I can get it patched up."

Heal Check for Andor (1d20+8=24)

"Finally praise the light, I don't think it will give you any trouble now."

Once the horse have a drink Alban says to the company. "We should be moving along now. Do you lads know any trails that might be safer than the main road where we can still make good time?"

 

[Rhun]

After a quick dip in the water to remove the worst of the gore that Roak had seemed to get himself covered in, he prepares to move out. He nods his thanks to Alban for bandaging his wounds, and then mounts Halcyon, anxious to get back underway.

His iron grey eyes scan the horizon. "We should move out as soon as you are done bandaging the injured. We would be ill-prepared to handle another such ambush this day."

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin, AC20, 44/49HP

OOC: Nijel holds Alban's mount while he washes, and then Nijel gives the reins of St. Josiah to Alban while he rids himself of ogre blood and entrails. As Nijel is finishing up with that disgusting chore, Andor appears at his side with his gift of much-needed healing. (OOC: noted above in title.) "Thank you, Father Andor! Your generosity is greatly appreciated and I continually thank the Light for friends such as you."

OOC: I knew that I hadn't seen a rule for using the Heal skill for someone who was not dying, but I thought it was worth a shot anyway. Really, I just wanted to roll something that didn't involve life or death.

Having been reconstituted as much as is possible in his present circumstances, Nijel once again mounts St. Josiah and moves to the front of the column. "Yes, Sir Adari, let us put this place far behind us and leave it to the jackals and the vultures."

Roak smiles widely at Nijel's comment, a change from the warrior's usually serious demeanor. "Ogiers are always best left to the scavengers. After we cut them down, of course." The knight looks around at his companions. "Goodman Driscoll? Would you again take the lead, where your keen eyes will serve best?"

 

[Pyrex]

...I skipped Aidan and Andor because Padraig hogged all the rolls for himself ...

OOC: Don't worry about it. Aidan healed himself during the battle and is currently uninjured.

His iron grey eyes scan the horizon. "We should move out as soon as you are done bandaging the injured. We would be ill-prepared to handle another such ambush this day."

"Aye, and those orcs who fled will be back with help afore long. We'd best not be nearby when they return."

"Aye, and those orcs who fled will be back with help afore long. We'd best not be nearby when they return."

"I only wish that we didn't have a more pressing mission so that we could prepare some kind of 'surprise party' for their return. The Bloody Spawn!"
