Chapter 3: Ghouls & Groves!
As the last fell, and it became apparent everyone would live to tell the tale, Lenelle smiled with relief and joy.
And on the heels of it felt sick to her stomach, as she considered what almost happened. She dropped to her knees and - different for her - offered a short, soft, heartfelt prayer of thanks. She didn't know what god it was addressed to. Perhaps Pelor. She wasn't there, yet. It didn't matter right now.
(Oops - after everyone's safe again)
She looked at the safely returned trio, addressed Cela "When I was a child, there was nothing like the presence of a cat to push back nightmares. Watching you down there, I remembered why. Somewhere, your master is honored, I think." She made a gesture of reverence for the deceased.
"To say nothing of your own heroic act," she said to Joshua.
He needed healing; medical attention for the arm and perhaps other injury. The basic curing Lenelle could do wouldn't mend bones. And she'd burned a lot of power, rapidly. She could work perhaps one more true spell, and then it was cantrips and crossbow. Mercion or a physician would see to Josh, she was sure.
And on the topic of pushing back nightmares, she turned to the man who'd literally done so:
"How long?" she asked Sundos, almost not wanting to know. "How long before they return?"
