The Romance of the River Kingdoms

Coughing up a few mouthfulls of water and gingerly exploring his wounds, Xielt looks around at his eager companions. I fear I am not yet ready to venture down. If you're willing to wait while I catch my breath, I will be more able to proceed. It will be even easier if one of you could spare some form of healing for my bruises. Otherwise, I shall wait up here while you begin the exploration.

"I'm afraid I have only minor healing powers. What abut you, do you know a spirit of healing?" Ape asks Jar'Thol. "If not, I may have to use one of my runestones."

"No need, the Wise Crone is generous and all knowing in the ways of mending the flesh. She will help me heal Xielt." Jar'Thol examines the Tlaxu's wounds, closes his eyes and then whispers a short Shromic invocation of an ancestor spirit. Warm once again fills up Xielt's body and he suddenly feels better.

I thought I'd already posted this, but...

[sblock="Xielt"]
Jar'Thol's spell only heals 2 points of damage, but this is enough to heal the Health damage.
[/sblock]

Jar'Thol's invocation to the Wise Crone causes the worst of the tlaxus wounds to heal over but still leaves the tlaxu somewhat bruised.

In the meantime, the noises from the hole have got louder. Something(s) seems to be having an argument in a gutteral language. There is still much splashing and banging.
 

Xielt stretches his newly-healed muscles. My thanks, litte one. That is much better. I fear I am still a little out of sorts, but if you all would like to enter the hole, I will accompany you, the tlaxu offers.

[sblock=ooc] So, he's at full health, but still 0/8 grace, which recharges at 1 point per minute, right? So if we wait up here for 8 minutes, he'll be back to starting health. Obviously, that's what I'd prefer, but if we're worried about whatever is down the hole, he'll follow. Just don't expect him to charge up front. ;) [/sblock]

Yes, that's exactly it.

Although if you were in a combat situation you can spend a Standard Action to "Take A Breather" and heal your level in Grace hit points (one of several options). Sort of an adrenaline surge or a 'My Name is Inigo Montoya' moment (as they call it on TV Tropes).

Realizing the others were tired from fighting and pulling...and a little guilty she hadn't done more to help, Annika relents and says, "I don't mind waiting."

"Yes, we should wait a few minutes and check if some of our belongings got water-damaged. A prepared fight is a good fight. And whatever creatures are down there, they seem to come nearer." Ape whispers.
 

You check through your items for serious water damage - obviously everything has got wet one way or another, but scroll cases (for those who have them) have all kept out the water.

You find the following losses:

Growling Ape has lost one days worth of trail rations.
Three Flowers has lost two days worth of trail rations.
Xielt has lost three torches.
Jar'Thol has lost all of his trail rations.

This all takes about five minutes, during which time the grunts and clanks get closer from the hole. Suddenly a grey, bald head peeks over the top, stops and stiffens as it sees you and then ducks down again. There are shouts (again incoherent) from below, followed by more clanking and grunting receding.

However, it looked like the grey-faced humanoid thing was carrying something, a statue of a woman with arms upraised...

[sblock="Xielt"]
Xielt has healed 5 Grace hit points

ooc: does Ape recognize the type of the creatures?
Know (nature)+3 (governs animals, fey, giants, monstrous humanoids)
