Kelarith steps through the doorway to get a clearer line of sight, and aims his second crossbow pistol at the goblinoid, thinking 'oh, look at that, they made a nice space for you. Please do try not to waste the opportunity again,' an acerbic whine in his inner voice.

Finn's kick sends the creature to its knees and Arwi's blades sends it the rest of the way to the ground. It shudders once in a pool of its own blood then stops moving for good.

As everyone takes a quick moment to catch their breath, eyes turn to the two newcomer. The dark and attractive human male and the stunning, 7-foot-tall, blue-skinned, Fae-blood female.

HP 5/10 FP 9/10 Conditions/ Effects

Rindo collects the ring and wipes it off on his cloak shaking his head before giving a calming pat to the horse. "Now that was all just completely unnecessary but exciting non the less." Rindo walks over to the merchant, noticing she is a bit worse for wear and takes a look around at who is standing here. "Well this certainly won't do. I don't suppose any one here happens to know the healing arts of any kind would they? Otherwise we may want to seek a professional if any such individual services may be acquired here?"

Kelarith stows his unspent crossbow pistol and bends to pick up the one he discarded, his inner voice chastising him all the while, 'How powerful and clever you are, fumbling like a coward while strangers do your job.'

"Let's stop the bleeding and get her somewhere private before anything else. Healers in this town are going to be rare and expensive."

Rindo nods in agreement. "I agree we should stop the bleeding however I feel the racket here will draw further unwanted attention, if we can get over to the drunken dragon which should not be too far from here, we can wait for some of the chaos to die down. I for one do no want to wait for the goblins or whoever sent them to regroup and come back on us. As for her wounds, do any of you know how to dress them for I do not."

Snowbelle shakes her head solemnly, stepping up to the wounded merchant. "I am sorry, I have no experience in this. I will carry her, where should we take her?"

Character Present: Warehouse area behind The Dirty Dog Tavern

---

As the dust settles out in the yard, a voice calls out from behind Kelarith, "By the many branches of Rillifane Rallathil, what is going on out here? Oh my, Gummy, get out here!" Kelarith sees a beautiful Elvish woman slip past him. He recalls seeing her serving drinks inside the Dirty Dog just a few moments ago. She bursts out into the yard shaking her head back and forth, "Oh no, this will not do at all, no, no. Oh, goodness, is that Amira? She is hurt, GUMMY, get out here!" Kelarith hears a grunt and is pushed aside by the dirty Half-Orc bouncer that had been sitting just inside the door to the tavern.

"Arrgh, what's this? Varag in the yard? It's dead, right?" He says, looking at Arwi as he wipes the creature's blood from his blades. "Oh no, Amira hurt?" The Half-Orc helps Snowbelle retrieve Amira's body, though the Nymph doesn't really need help. For a dirty, hulking Half-Orc, he handles Amira very gently and has a genuine look of concern on his face.

The barmaid, who introduces herself as Sylvia, directs the group to the warehouse area. "Where is Dani?" she asks, though no one knows who Dani might be. Seeing their looks of confusion, she elaborates, "Dani's the stableboy, Human boy, mid-teens, dark, messy hair, about this high," she says holding a hand out indicating he is about 5 and a half feet tall. She cries out again as she enters the warehouse area, "Dani!"

As everyone moves toward the warehouse area, they see the stableboy laying on the ground, a pool of blood around his head. As Sylvia kneels down, she exhales loudly, "He's alive, but hurt bad. Are any of you Healers? Clerics? Please, your secret is safe with me. Does anyone have any Healing Potions?" She gently moves him and brushes his bloody hair from his face. It appears that one of the Goblins hit him hard over the back of the head.

Kelarith and the newcomer, Rindo, both move further into the warehouse area, finding darker, shadow-filled areas while the rest look over the two wounded folk.

What's everyone doing? Will Nessia reveal herself as a cleric of Istus? @SCARY WIZARD

Her Shield Spell on Arwi will lapse now, unless you want to spend FP to maintain it further.

Finn speaks up, "I have some basic skill, but no field dressings or other supplies. If you have material for clean bandages, I can at least keep them alive until a healer arrives."

Arwi picked up the hobgoblin's blade and spit on the mangled corpse.

 

"I have some bandages in my pack inside the tavern.", he replied when he heard the call for help. He ran back into the tavern to get them.

 Nessia let her staff down after the altercation had ended, and took stock of the damage... She was alright.  A little winded, and that godsforsaken joint of hers was... well, it was what it was... but, there were some among her own hurt!  And, some strangers that appeared to be friend.

---

Nessia steps forward when all are inside. After a pause, she speaks. "I have been trained in the healing arts, and once or twice in mystical practices -- enough that I ought to be able to mend Amira's wounds, either way." She looks the woman's injuries over, just to remind herself of the severity of the situation... "I can show you all how to mend a cut with bandages some other day, though. For now..." Hopefully, any reservations that she might show are easy enough to mistake for just a general anxiety over treating injuries, and not... well...

To the Hells with it. This woman would die soon if Nessia did not act.

And, act Nessia does. With a sigh, whispered words of power, and a channelling of positive energy, she places her hands on poor Amira's injuries...

 

 

Out of Character - Actions

I am erring on the side of caution, my good Game Master and fellow adventurers! Nessia is posing as one of those AD&D2E Mystics.

HP 15/15 FP 9/13 Conditions/ Effects

Snowbelle is stoic and perhaps even sorrowful as she gently lifts Amira, and with the half-orcs unnecessary help, brings her to the stables. She shakes her head slowly as she retreats her massive frame and regards the terrible injuries.

But when Nessia uses her magic, Snowbelle's face lights up like a child entering a toy store for the first time. "Ooh! You heal with your hands!" She rushes forward to inspect the fading injury, looking absolutely delighted. "Can I see one more time?" Seeming to remember herself, she steps back and clears her throat. "I am Snowbelle Skysdottr, by the way. It's a pleasure to meet such distinguished individuals in this town. If anyone has but a moment, could you tell me who you are and how that nasty fight came to be?"

Arwi soon returned with some bandages for Amira's injuries. He took one and handed the rest to Nessia as he began to wrap one of Amira's arms.

"Here. Take these bandages and bind Amira's wounds.", he told Nessia with a wink attempting to give her her some cover for her magic.
