Mario frowns at the arrow and its wound.

"Barbed arrow.  Does as much damage coming back out as it did going in."

He releases the fletching, as his eyes widen, then he reaches down and pulls one of his silvered tipped arrows from his second quiver and lays the silver on the man's skin alongside the shaft of the barbed arrow.  "Don't know if this will do anything, but..."

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 299):

The silver has no effect on the man's skin. Meanwhile, Mario still has a grip on the arrow.

"Leave t'e barbs for now Mario, we can ease 'em out when we get him down an restrained."

"This arrow seems to affect him more than the other weapons did -- he reacted when I disturbed it.  I think we need to get it out."

He reaches down to return the silver arrow to its quiver.

"T'e more we pull out, t'e more he's affected.  I'n just worried he might die before we clear all t'e weapons... so leave t'e really bad ones till he's secured."

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 303):

Clarence just continues to hold him.

"Okay, Jareth, you know more about this stuff than i do.  Nodwin, can you had me that rope that was caught on the spear you guys pulled out?"

Nodwin grabs the rope and hands it to Mario.

"If you guys can remove all the weapons but the stuck, barbed arrow head, I will try again to heal him."

In reply to Nodwin Zideqick (msg # 306):

A good hard yank could probably free the arrow. The other weapons are still available for seizure.

"The barbs will probably heal him when I pull them out."  With that, Mario gives another yank at the barbed arrow.

[Private to GM: 18:27, Today: Mario Crowfoot rolled 9 using 3d6.  ST to pull barbed arrow from wounded man (11).]

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 308):

The man groans as the arrow is yanked out, and he bleeds profusely.
Still in him: a knife, a dagger, a large knife, a crossbow bolt, and On him is Brodak's shield. He is barely resisting at this point.

Mario starts to reach for the next nearest protruding weapon grip or shaft, but stops himself.

"Jareth, he seems to get weaker the more weapons we pull out, and he bled a lot more with that one than before.  I have an idea.

"Sound off if you think he looks like dying when we pull the last couple out of him, and I'll stab him with the arrow from my quiver -- that ought to restore him a little, and then the arrow will vanish after a bit."

He reaches up and lightly slaps the man's cheek.  "Can you understand me?  Will stabbing you that way give you back strength?"

"That.. that's genius Mario!"

Jareth sets his kit down and moves back in to grab the rope.  "Let's get him tied, t'em I can bandage him, t'en we can remove t'e rest of t'e weapons, you stab him to make strong enough to survive!"

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 310):

The delirious and bleeding man stuck with knives nods in assent, although he is otherwise merely drooling.

"I think he agreed with us.  Let's start tying his hands and feet.  Is there another piece of rope?"

In reply to The wounded man (msg # 312):

Charlene, who hasn't been able to approach, puts her spear down and grabs at a foot.

Mario renews his grip on the wounded man's arm, holding it in a position to be tied to the other hand.  "Here, Jareth, put a couple turns around his wrists, tie it, and then use the other end for his feet.  It doesn't need to hold for hours, and he's pretty weak now."

Jareth pitches in tying him him so he can be worked on 'safely'.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 316):

Clarence continues restraining him.

Once he is tied, Brodak lets up and gets off of him cautiously.

In reply to Brodak (msg # 318):

Anyone with knot tying should make a roll or two.

OOC:  Jareth has Knot Tying at default (DX-4) if no one else has it better...  and his DX is flat Joe Average (10).

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 320):

Clarence does not have any knot skills to speak of, so he continues to hold him until he is sure he is secure.

OOC: Mario has the same default Knot Tying (DX-4), but a higher DX (13).

Move your ass, I can do better I think.
Mellarill ends up tying a loose slip knot that slips apart ... Shit! see curses loudly.



[Private to GM:  11:30, Today: Mellarill rolled 12 using 3d6.  DX -4 Knots.  DX 14, so missed by 2.]
