[Sblock=OOC]Oh yeah. I forgot to check his hitpoints. Well, given that the stroy is just you and me ... I'm perfectly fine with assuming he had done so. Hmmm. That's a d8, right? Dice must like you, they give you a 6 on the d8![/Sblock]

Damned fools! I’m almost tempted to blast them both, but it was certainly Errast who ran that flaming ball into me, and the series of events he layed out wasn’t too convincing with the evidence present...
Turning as he’s struck, Aekalos moves away from the ball, before he targets Errast with his draconic breath... figuring the renewed combat may have given away their position anyway he throws subtlety out the window.

Aekalos is able to maneuver away from the flame and use his heritage to knock Errast to his knees. Errast's body shakes and quivers as the full brunt of the strike takes hold of him. Eventually, Errast falls over. He is not yet dead, but his breathing is considerably slowed and worsening.
The half-orc woman raises her weapon to perform an overhead strike on Errast to finish him. Before she does, she pauses and turns to Aekalos. "Is he really your friend? Or shall I finish him as he finished the female?"

“Not really, they were more travelling companions than friends. Let him live for the moment though, as I’d like to find out why he’s done this if it’s at all possible. We should tie him up though,” Aekalos replies as he crosses to the pair, blade out as he looks about wearily for any sign the battle attracted orcs.

The woman looks nervously as Aekalos watches the forest around him. "We should not stay. You are not safe, this is a tribe of meat-eaters. They consume the weak, and they will consume you. You are no good for raping, obviously. I can carry him back to my workshop, if you would like."
[Sblock=Apologies]Crap! You know how you forgot to mention the thing about the potion? I forgot to mention that Aekalos' spell wore off. I hope it was obvious, since the half-orc woman spoke as though she knew Aekalos and recognized him. If it wasn't obvious, or misguided your actions, I apologize. It was not intentional, I just got wrapped up in pushing the story forward that I missed that detail.[/Sblock]

“Not safe? Perhaps so, though I have walked through their village unscathed thus far, as my magic can make me look like an orc if need be. Do you know where I might find any prisoners they hold? As I must find the woman I am looking for here and rescue her, or discover what has happened to her if she is no longer living. The life of a man, falsely accused, depends on it.”
“As to bringing him back... obviously, I would prefer to keep Maris’ body from the orcs, as she did nothing but help, but my desire to question him as to his actions is gnawing at me. Perhaps his possessions might reveal something,” Aekalos adds, beginning to search Errast while he waits on a response from the half-orc woman.
[SBLOCK=OOC]That’s fine, I guessed as much by the fact that everyone present recognised him.

Aekalos is able to find about 400 gold pieces worth in varius gemstones.
[Sblock=Breakdown]1 Amethyst, 3 Rose Quartz, 5 Obsidian, and 46 gold.[/Sblock]
In addition, Aekalos finds a pocket on the inside of his cloak that is meant to keep things hidden. Once Aekalos manages to find out how to open the pouch he finds 2 scrolls and a wand of unknown designation.
While Aekalos searches, Errast's condition deteriorates. It does not look like he has much time left at all without much in the way of outside help or an internal miracle of stabalization.
The half-orc woman replies, "I would be suprised if she were alive. This tribe is not known for taking prisoners. They take dinner. As I said earlier, the only prisoners that they will take is for raping, and it is unlikely they would keep anyone who was not at least partly orc for that. Other races ... break ... to easily to be useful."
"I do not know where such a prisoner would be kept, however. If I go into the village I am asking for the same fate that you witnessed earlier at my shop. In their eyes, I am worth nothing more. To go into their vilage would be torturous for me."

Aekalos tries to stabilise Errast as he replies. “No, don’t even give that another thought,” he remarks, as she finishes. “I wouldn’t ask you to go into the village under any circumstances, especially after what’s already happened. What you’ve said though certainly puts a wrinkle in things, as I’d hoped to bring the woman in question back as evidence the charges were false, assuming she was ever here.”
Nodding to the pile of items he’s formed, he adds, “Hmm, that wasn’t much help in locating any motive for his actions, but he won’t be able to cause as much trouble if I hold onto these. So if I want to know, I guess you will have to carry him back... assuming I can stop him from dying that is.”

[Sblock=What Luck! ]On Aekalos' first attempt, Aekalos seems to do something significant. Perhaps it is the mere presence of Aekalos' closeness that allows Errast to overcome the electrical imbalance that was still killing him. In any respect, Errast has seemed to stabalize.
Aekalos rolld an 18 for Heal right out of the gate. What Luck![/Sblock]
When the woman sees that Aekalos looks a little more stable she says, "So you would like me to carry him now? Back to my shop? If so, do not be long in returning. My shop is watched, and bringing in a wounded man may arouse attention. However, with most of the vilage heading north for another hunt this evening, it may yet go unnoticed. And what of the woman?" The half-orc female points to Maris.
