Re: Into the light...
Yesil was greatly weakened by the foray, but though pale, the woman did her part to carry the wounded back to town. Much like Arek, the fatigue only took firm hold once she saw the lights of town twinkling to them.
Such was her nature; she could soldier through, grim-faced and tight-lipped, until she knew she had to go no further, but then the weariness showed in her slow, and almost clumsy, movements, and in the darkness under her eyes. She even stumbled over the threshold of the Welcome Wench, catching herself against the door frame and then slipping into the nearest chair.
She sat there some time before heading out to the stable, where she curled into a pile of clean hay for a deep and dreamless sleep.
The following morning, her limbs were weary but she was, at least, moving easier. Picking straw from her hair she came back into the tavern hoping for food, and nodding to Jaroo's message about the meeting.
[Private to GM: I'm figuring the three HP on Yesil's sheet still stands -- the level adds 8, at least, which will put her to 11 by the morning. Whew :-)]
