AHHHHHHHHH! That's hurt, Crimson reels in pain. Not much life left in her but she is thankful and at the mercy of her friends for finding her. "You guys saved my life, I'm glad you guys are still alive and well. Minithirhas been killed and my home town is in danger. After I get healed up, I'd like to go and check on it. What brings you guys here? Besides rescuing me of course..."

Spoiler:
The half elf follws the others through the portal, still playing his violin in an encouraging, rousing song. He looks around, taking in his surroundings and trying to get his bearings. Seeing the human woman on the floor, he approaches and offers a smile.

"It seems that assistance it at hand," he says. "Would you like a bit of healing, perhaps?"

Grumbling in frustration Guy braces his shield and charges into the warrior, intending not to harm him, but to bash him back away from Rhel.

Spoiler:
Trip pulls out the wand he received earlier. He realizes that he forgot to ask for the command word or instructions on how to use it. He waves it over the woman, praying silently to Olidammara that the wand will work through the force of sheer will alone.

(( If it works....

Also, since he's stopped playing, that means the effects of his inspire courage song will end in five rounds. That includes a +1 bonus to saves against charm and fear effects and a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls for all those who heard the music.))

GM/Winthrop/Crimson
Spoiler:
The covering of the helmet provides him with a much needed visage of stoicism, as his own expression would betray a wash of shame.

"Crimson,"Kratimos holds his hand out to the fallen rogue, "Of course, I will help with your home. I am at your service, as I am, apparently, for these Hestic as well."

Kratimos is relieved at the immediate rebuke he feared to rightly receive. He looks around, to secure the safety of their surroundings.
Spot:
[dice]0[/dice]

He continues talking to Crimson, "I am sorry to hear about the wizard, as troubling as he could be. You must tell me all. I have much to share with you. Trip, you might as well hear our stories, too."

((Would this allow us to reach each other's stories so far in the campaign?))

Spoiler:
The warrior in the golden armor approaches.

"She seems to have been through much, we can handle this den of evil. Take her to the city if you wish. Our clerics can mend her." With that he turns to join the others. The sound of combat can be heard nearby.

((If you choose to return to the city then you will have an extended time to catch up where you can read each others posts. If you choose to help Volstaid, you won't have time.))

Spoiler:
Kratimos reached his hand out to shake the ranger's hand.
"I thank you for all your help and I promise you your investment with this armor will not go unrewarded. Making things dead again happens to be one of the things I do best and this sword will send them back to whatever plane they belong.
I must ask one more favor, I fear. How will I best find my way back to the Underport? I'll have to find the little girl after I have paid my debt. Do tell her that I will be back as soon as I can."
Kratimos hated to leave a fight, especially one he felt honorbound to assist, but honor demands he help Crimson.
"We can leave whenever you are ready. If you need to rest more, that is fine; I can keep myself busy. Just lead the way afterwards." Kratimos turned to the half-elf, "Trip, you seem like a good man to have around, and not just for your excellent fiddle work. I understand if you feel like you must stay here, but you are welcome to join us. In fact, we would appreciate it."

Do we still need spoiler tags??
Spoiler:
I'm in pretty bad shape huh? I was hoping a heal spell or kit could patch me up and allow me to slay more of these undead from a distance. As you can see I'm not too good close range unless it's a sneak attack. Thank you for trying to heal me Wintrop and thank you Kratimos for the escort back, I appreciate it and time is of the essence so we should get moving, though I may not be as quick as I normally am, please bear with me.

If anyone sees a coin by a broken window it's mine BTW. I also have a letter I found that I haven't had a chance to read yet.

Once Arctic and Dolly are meet up with us, then we should be good. Until then, spoiler tags.

GM/Winthrop/Crimson
Spoiler:
"Here, let's get you to the clerics for a full healing." Kratimos put his arm around Crimson to steady and support her as he led her to the Hestic healers. "Sounds like you wanted to kill a couple undead before we left?"

Guy
Spoiler:
((For sure, feel free to list what Guy wants to do. When I describe the actions of the others it's safe to assume it's your turn. Even if you wrote what you wanted to do out of sequence or premature I would know what your desired actions were and build the encounter around it. Thanks good sir!))

Livia
Spoiler:
((I don't know if you saw my previous post, I listed it as DFK (DollfacedKiller) instead of Livia. I think I'll just post your character's name from now on just to be sure. What you are seeing is the temple of St Cuthbert. In Underport, it's a rundown shack and this is what you've discovered upon arriving.))

Winthrop looks at the armored elves as they venture further into the darkness, then back to his new companions. "They seem to be able to handle themselves well, and it seems that I have a new patient." He offers a smile and a bow, with a slight flourish. "Winthrop Gando, priest of Olidammara, at your service."

He looks around, a slight frown on his face. "This place does seem like it would not be conducive to recuperation. Perhaps it would be best to exit this particular stage and find a more welcoming venue. Do you know the location of the most convenient exit?"

I am going to back up to the door and call out "Hello? I come as a friend on behalf of Ehlonna. I would like to speak with the High Priest of St. Cuthbert please.

Spoiler:
((So I'm assuming you guys are going back through the portal to the Hestic city? ))

The party steps through the portal to be greeted by a company of healers who take Crimson to a room and begin to use their divine magics, oils, salves, and remedies to relieve the cuts and bruises all over her body. After a moment, Crimson feels one of her ribs slide back into place. That skeleton creature hit her harder than she realized.

After a while, the party is shown to quarters. The accommodations are simple but comfortable furnished with a bed, a chest for storage, a table and chair with a lamp on top. Eventually dinner is served and the party is shown to a cozy dining room complete with a bar and a roaring fire.

There, the party has the opportunity to catch up. ((Feel free to read each others posts up to this point)).
