OOC:  Does this new wound look worse or better than the ones where weapons were ripped out?  Or is it just a hole where the arrow was?

Also, how does the patient seem to be taking things?  The wounds and the conversation?

Mario turns his concentration to the man's condition, right hand hovering at the fletching of the single arrow in his quiver, then frowns.

"I'm really starting to find this unpleasant."  His tone is quizzical.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 400):

As the second arrow fades, he is bleeding more. His eyes dart toward Nodwin. There are maybe a dozen heartbeats until the last arrow fades.

Jareth starts bandaging the cursed man, using bandages if anyone has them*, or cutting sacks up if necessary.

"Mario, gently stick 'im here," Jareth points at one of the wounds, "an try to not go deep with t'e arrow."



OOC:  * If someone has bandages, say so.  Otherwise, I'll presume Jareth is cutting up his sacks.

I'm not sure at the moment what gwythaint meant by "the flesh mortifies at the site" in response to Nodwin's healing attempt (msg #274).  Back then (what 4 months ago) I read it as "necrotizes" which is not the same definition at all.

So now, having gone back to double check, I'm wondering you meant Narrator?  Did his flesh react with shame or embarrassment?  ;)

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 402):

Necrotizes would have been the better word; while he still had weapons in, healing caused the flesh to blister and blacken, as with gangrene.

Mario draws the arrow from his quiver, and attempts to stab it into the wound Jareth indicated.  He then returns his hand to the fletching on the single arrow in his quiver, trying to both watch for the other arrow to fade, and track the wounded man's condition.

"Bleeding from wounds is normal.  The magic might be undone, at least for the moment, when the arrows vanish."


[Private to GM: 18:35, Today: Mario Crowfoot rolled 12 using 3d6.  Fast Draw (Arrow) (15).
18:36, Today: Mario Crowfoot rolled 5 using 3d6.  DX to stab with arrow (13 + unknown bonus for restrained target - 5? for small target)).]

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 404):

You successfully stab him. Under normal circumstances you could only have one arrow in existence at a time. These were some strong magics.

"Unless someone has a better idea, I'll cast another heal on him. It may kill him, but I am not sure what else we can do."

"Nodwin, I ken that ya can probably heal him when all t'e arrows fade."




OOC:  Did the gentle stab have the same 'rejuvenation' effect?

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 407):

As the arrow was applied just before the last one faded, it seemed to do him some good.

"Okay, I'll wait for Nodwin after that last arrow fades."

Waiting for nearly a minute, Nodwin watches the arrow carefully, the instant it starts fading he calls upon Vejovis' power. He smiles with a look of happiness as the holy power flows through him.

[Private to GM: 21:41, Today: Nodwin Zideqick rolled 9 using 3d6.  Major Healing 15. - 4 points - 8 HP]

Mario waits, hand on the fletching of the arrow still in his quiver, for the results of Nodwin's healing magic.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 411):

As the last arrow faded, the poor creature began to bleed from all of his wounds.

When Nodwin lays hands upon him, he stops bleeding, and even seems to mend a little.

In reply to The wounded man (msg # 412):

"It seems that he can be healed if he has no ongoing damage..."

"Ah good.  Should be stabilized now.  We can haul him one t'e houses, find a Cleric with mind healin, an get him straightened out."

He pats the cursed man's shoulder, "Alright pal, we gonna keep ya tied up on account of ya be a bit crazy.  But we gonna get ya fixed up an good best we can."

Jareth starts carefully checking the ropes binding him, in case he goes nuts on the way back.

"T'e knot's look good!"



OOC: 17:24, Today: Jareth Mooncalled rolled 13 using 3d6.  Knot-Tying 11 (6 + 5 Extra Time).

With Jareth's proclamation, Mario relaxes, wipes his bloody hands on his breeches, and begins moving around the room, collecting his dropped staff and bow.

"That went better than it might have.  Early on, I thought we'd have to find a way to kill him.

"I wonder who managed to chain him up and put him here?"

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 415):

While he lays there gasping, you can see that the small triangular room
he was in is strewn with bones that look like they have been there for
some time.

Although he seems susceptible to healing in a normal way, he may still be quite deranged.



Btw, while limited wish cannot remove disadvantages, it could be used to swap them for disadvantages of equal value.

Mario turns to Ymid.  "Is the anomaly lessened?"

Nodwin collects his staff and then examines the walls of the small room, looking for any clues to the origin of the deranged fellow.

Jareth gathers up his things and begins poking about the room, making sure there aren't any bones set to allow ghuls to plane cross, and looking for any lootables.






OOC:
Narrator:  When you say "Limited" Wish, do you mean Lesser Wish or Wish?  Or is this some other category of 'Wish' that isn't Lesser, Wish, or Greater?  Because only a Greater Wish (by the book) can even futz with anything other than changing a single die roll.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 417):

"It would appear that the anomaly has collapsed onto itself and resolved. Fascinating!

The weird thing draws a strange looking knife, and stabs the wounded man lightly in an area free from wounds.  The man bleeds, and moans.
"Quite resolved. How disappointing. I rather hoped it would start up again."

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 419):

I meant say that this was a lesser wish, power wise, but it has been a long time since I had read that part of Enchantments. This is a Greater Wish, that has limiting enchantments on it, to reduce some of its range of effect. Exactly what those limits are may be determined by trial and error (nothing happened, try again).


The bones, once separated, appear to be of goblins. The skulls seem a bit odd, however, and there are  two pair of dark bronze looking thick wrist cuffs.

Bracers or cuffs?

Jareth bags a couple of skulls, who knows someone might care that they're weird.
