Book 3: Act 1 - Of Leaves and Stewed Hobbit

[Blubbo_Baggins]

Finn is surprised at Tom's words. With the heat of battle he had nearly forgotten about his wound.
"Thankfully it is just that - blood - had he hit something vital I would not be standing now, Tom. But get something to slow it."

Finn fights through a bit of shock and remains standing.

Doh, about 10 seconds too late, near cross post when i got email notice that someone posted to thread. Had my post almost finished

trying to rewrite it.

Borir starts to head to Aerth's side when Tom shouts. The dwarf moves over to Finn and takes hold of the man's shirt. The dwarf gives a quick tug and rips the man's shirt into a large piece.

"Here," The dwarf says to Tom. "Use this to bind it. Keep pressure on it. We should be to town shortly. You can sell that shield in town and get a new shirt."

The dwarf then heads over to assist with Aerth in binding the prisoners and the dog.

Varuthil agrees with the decision to let Dagmar get away. They have more pressing concerns on their hands--one of them Finn's wounds. "You others watch the prisoners. Let me see to that," she says to Finn. She takes our her bandages and herbs and does what she can to help her companion. Though her manner is as brusk as always, her hands are surprisingly gentle when she applies the poultices and bandages.

Healing 2 roll. Can I use Merciful for an auto-success or a bonus? If you say no, that it should be reserved for particular cases, rather than used for every Healing roll is fine.

"Oh dear," Pipkin says when his anger at Dagmar finally fades. "That looks serious. As soon as Varuthil tends to that, we need to get to town. You need a bed and some better care than we can manage out here in the woods. Perhaps Radagast can do something to help. He's a wizard, after all."

[Vardaen]

Borir and Aerth bind the prisoners, but the dogs refuse to be, and snarling they eventually just bound away into the woods and remain on the edge of your camp for a good long while at this point.

Varurthil and Tom tend to Finn forcing the man to sit down regardless of how much he protests that its just a minor wound. He's starting to get a bit light headed and the pain is throbbing now and so when the she Elf sits him down he doesn't argue any more. Varuthil is gentle and skilled, she applies several herbal salves and then bandages the wound wrapping it tightly to prevent further blood loss. It will take a good long rest to do anything of value to the wound however, and out here in the wild you can only hope it won't grow worse.

With some rest and the situation in hand the group looks to their next move, the last leg to Rhosgobel and Radagast.

Treating Wounds
Varuthil Healing Skill 2: 2,3,3 = 8 vs TN14

Not sure how showing pity to enemies helps bind wounds, no Mercy on this.

Finn won't be recovering anything any time soon.

[Blubbo_Baggins]

Pushing away Varuthil's hands Finn tries to insist they move on.
"I'll be fine...I'll be fine. Let's move on."

He stands, takes a step, and begins to crumple. Thankfully Tom Lumpyface had been watching him closely, and quickly reacting, catches him, and puts Finn's arm over his shoulders.

"Someone else is going to have to help with the litter, I'm afraid," says Tom, as he and Finn begin to follow the group.
Finn's eyes are closed, and he follows Tom as a blind man might, trying to keep focused on walking.

"Oh, don't be silly," Pipkin says when he sees Finn refuse healing from Vauthil. "You've been hurt badly and the wound needs some attention. We don't want you collapsing on the way back. We're already carrying one badly injured man. I'm not sure we could manage two. It won't take but a moment, and that moment will be well spent. A stitch in time, saves nine, as my great aunt Primula always tells me. Spend a moment getting care now and save us a stop picking you up off the ground later on."

OOC

I know that skills aren't used on PCs. But FWIW, Pipkin will use True-hearted to show that he's sincere about what he says.

[TetNak]

"Let Vauthil help you," Aerth says, "Else you'll be the one of the litter." Once the prisoners have been secured he ties their bonds together with a length of rope. "Do not try to escape, else I will have Wren here shoot you dead."

[Blubbo_Baggins]

"Fine, fine." Looking at Varuthil...."Thanks for trying. I think perhaps you should actually examine here on the side of my abdomen."

Action

Healing 2, spend Hope if needed

[Shurijo]

Borir nods as he listens to the others. Helping secure the prisoners, the dwarf stands over them with his axe in hand. "Why not let them help with the litter?" He mentions as he nods one of the men with the handle of his axe.
