In Character: "At last the monster is dead!"
Zork quickly secures any horses they had and ties them to a tree, he then takes the head off of the half orc and hangs it from a tree limb for now.
He calls on Faerydae, "We need help!"
While everyone is getting themselves looked at Zork makes sure there aren't any still lurking.
Albrecht is bloody and unconscious (-2/11) HP), after the half-orc turns on him. He tries desperately to hold on to life as he can feel it slowly slipping away from him. After the half-orc falls, Champ is next to Albrecht whimpering and trying to lick his wounds (Champ is at 10/20 HP).
Out of Character: The -2 was as of round 14, so I will make a roll for round 15 to become stable, along with several more roles to see how long it takes for Albrecht to become stable. If anyone has some more magical healing, it will be good to stabilize everyone before we worry about healing up to 'full' hit points.
Avan sheds a single tear for all this bloodshed and is spurred into action to save his allies. Since the ranger fell first, he runs over and casts his second Cure Minor Wounds to stop his bleeding.
Then he goes over to Albrecht to assist in bandaging his bleeding wounds. After that he goes to check the pulses of all the fallen enemies, stopping them bleeding where possible.
He looks at Zork's handiwork asking "That was unnecessary. You didn't think to question the leader who probably knows most?"
Out of Character: After the potion, I got up to 6 out of 12 HP and didn't get hit after that. I don't think anyone paid attention to Mr Fluffles, so he's undamaged on 8.
Krusten heads over to where one of the females knocked herself out. She ties her up to a tree really good and tells her hawk to go up in the trees to watch her. She then suggests that she has healing potions if needed but they should be used only if it can restore the ranger since he cannot drink. Krusten collects all her arrows.
Avan reports to the others what he found out. 10 deceased foes and one badly injured but alive.
He then begins to take off their weapons, armor, and other things, placing it in a pile. He asks for help bringing the bodies together for burial.
"We don't know if that was all of them from the fort or if this was just a small scouting party. But we are definitely in no condition to find out. Once we have healed our wounds we can interrogate the captured bandits. If we feel brave we can use them as hostages to approach the fort again."
"However, the town would probably want to take them in as prisoners and they will do a better job of getting the information from them. We could prepare better for an assault, restock potions and the like. Who knows, they may even offer us support and reinforcements?"
"Do you want to stay here to rest for a few days? Or shall we go back to the town?"
Zork sees Avan is having a fit over the way he does things and says, "Listen, we can pussy foot another time, right now we have a man dying and we need to make sure there aren't any others lurking about."
He then angrily goes over to the woman Krusten tied and begins to find out what she knows.
