Missing Caravan

[Selina Parcellus]

((Wayback machine))

Selina looks at Nacesh weirdly "For a physical trauma incident, you remove the object first so it does not continue creating trauma."

[GM Marvel]

She turns and crouches by the injured kobold.

"Powwaw sent us. We are here to destroy Unreth. Can you tell us how to cross the bridges?"

"Bridgess aren't only trapped," the Kobold replies in a hissing common.  "They alsso covered by Koboldss with misssile weaponss.  When ccertain weight stepss on bridge, middle will collapsse, dumping you in river.  River hass creaturess that eat youss.  Then while trying to esscape, area be hit with flaming oilss.  Thosse who don't fallss in or who getss outss be ambushed with sspearss and bulletss.  Pleasse helpss uss!  Movess quickly!  Unreth find new home ssoon!"

[Selina Parcellus]

"Please tell us how to cross the river safely.  We are here to destroy Unreth."

[Nacesh]

Nacesh translates Selina's question after a brief remark,
"True, unless that object prevents the victim bleeding to death. But you are the expert."

[Betimi]

Betimi looks askance at Nacesh translating for a creature that obviously understands the Common tongue quite well, and just shakes her head.

"We want to get across without having to do battle with your kin, is there a way?"

She helps hold him steady for Selina to set one pof his broken bones as she asks.

[Selina Parcellus]

Selina gives Nacesh a queer look, holds it for a few moments, then raises the healing wand and wiggles it between her fingers a few times for emphasis.

She then turns to Betimi and looks her over a bit.  "Now that we're here, could you use some healing?"

[Betimi]

"I have some bruises, nothing serious."

[OoC Selina can plainly see the long gash in Betimi's side that she abruptly concealed with her cloak.]

[Selina Parcellus]

Selina puts her hands on her hips and purses her lips, letting out a skeptical sounding "HMM!!"  She says nothing else before pointing the healing wand at Betimi's side and speaking the command word, and a wave of relief runs over Betimi's side like a flood of endorphins.

"I will not have new injuries exacerbating previously sustained trauma.  That is not how I run this show.  Doctor's orders."  She gives Betimi a small grin.

((Should be fully healed now))

[GM Marvel]

Betimi is healed.  The Kobold is still hurt but at least his bleeding has stopped.

The Kobold replies, "Bridgess can carry the weight of about four Koboldss [Or about 200 pounds].   Not ssure how to avoid the flaming oil and sspearss.  But there iss a path on the other sside of the river not far from here.  You might have already sseen it.  If you can get acrosss the river to the path, you might be able to ambussh them insstead.  But I must assk you to try not to kill any of my kind.  They don't really mean you any harm.  They are jusst afraid of Unreth."

[GM Marvel]

Tomeal listens and then says, "Four kobolds?  With my armor I'm close to that weight!  I could set off the trap just going across by myself.  And I doubt they are going to just let Jonath figure the trap out to make it safe.  Does anyone have any ideas how to get across the river to that path this Kobold is speaking about?"
