Harmony of Chaos; Chapter 3: Smarted than they seem.
 

The group hurried in as the wyvern snapped it's jaws viciously at the cave entrance. The few bow armed members of the group snapped shots at the massive face as they retreated.

Kal led the way into the darkened and abandoned tunnel hurrying due to the roaring.

Then he heard it inhale. At the same time the tunnel door caved in.

With rubble forcing them into the tunnel, the party ran in and skidded to a stop in front of a very very large seemingly bottomless pit.

Then the light went out, and Kal muttered, "Mellonia." The top of his staff lit up.


"Well...this is great. It looks like an abandoned mining shaft."

"Is the fact that the goblins /didn't/ use this shaft of concern to anyone else?"

OOC: Did you mean to type "Smarted"?

"Well, since we have a moments rest, we should probably get healed up." Zorha jumped off of Grey, then opened his bag and most of the saddle compartments.

"Do you have anything to stop bleeding, and to restore energy?"

Kal was slumped against a wall, and leaning heavily on his staff.

Zorha pulled out two bottles from his belt, then mixed them into a bigger bottle. "Rub a small amount of this on your wounds, then drink the rest. Once your done, I'll bandage you up." He said as he handed Kal the bottle.

Turning to the rest of the group, he pulled out some bandages. "Anyone else need some help?"

"We never caught your name, healer." James said. The dwarves didn't mind the cave at all, better here than in a wyverns stomach

"Hm? Oh, my name is Zorha." After doing a quick check of his supplies, Zorha realized something. "Ugh... I forgot my knife... Anyone have a knife I can use?"

Argriv, who had only just managed to get through the door, collapsed by the healer. "If you could do something about this arrow in my arm, I'd be very greatful. I was able to use an antidote to cancel out most of the poison's effect, but there might be some left in my system. And yes, I have a dagger, if it will help. You might want to wash it first. Its poisoned."

"Eh... I'll get another knife..." Zorha got up from his supplies and walked over to the ninja/thief (You pick). Politely taking a knife from them, Zorha walked over to Argriv.

First thing he did was find the arrow. It had gone all the way through. Using the knife, Zorha cut off the arrow head. The poisoned head fell onto the cave floor. With a quick pull, Zorha took the arrow out of Argriv's arm.

"What was the poison?" After Argriv told him (Let's just skip that post), Zorha went to his bag and pulled out a couple small bags of herbs and a bottle of a red potion. Mashing some of the herbs together, then dropped them into the bottle and mixing, Zorha poured some of the liquid onto a bandage, then wrapped it around the wound. Then he poured the rest of the drink itno Argriv's mouth. "Swallow."

As Argriv drank, Zorha bandaged up any wounds he had, including his arm, he made small talk. "What you just drank is a better antidote for this poison. Plus it will speed up healing some what. And it's cherry flavored. Everyone likes cherries."

"Thanks. I didn't know anyone could make medicine taste good." Argriv surveyed the rest of the party. Everyone seemed to have seen their share of action. He seemed to have gotten the worst of the injuries. Of course, barring the monk, but death hardly counted. "So..." he said, looking at the faces, who expressed everything from mild amusment to paranoid worry, "What now?"
