Mal will try to cover him with some kind of sheet. (and check his pockets for anything useful.)

To Bree,

"B. you don't want me near you if you get hurt, come on, I swear this was just a flub."

OOC > Ah crap, I messed up who did the bad Medicine. I was blaming Clayton. Well, maybe it doesn't need a full retcon.

Bree

"Oh, no, Mal, not you, I know you were doing your best for Edge. But Princess and Bacon had no business getting in there. I don't think either of them is a real healer. Kinda wish we had a real healer though, but we should go finish this job anyway, we can't leave these newts at our back now."

(Cowboy medicine: water, bandages, whiskey, peyote)

Updating shortly!

Ok, so you guys are heading to the other AREA#4 room? 

Yes

FORGE, PART TWO

This part of the mine is surprisingly quiet. 

Too quiet.

No one is in this room.

Bree

"Let's be quick. According to the map," and she waves the map Sithi drew, "This should go to some storerooms (area 5). We should clear them fast and then go see about this room off this way." She indicates area 6 on the map. "That looks like where I'd put my private rooms. Really too noisy over here... usually."

She will take a cursory glance into the pools of water. Perception: 17

Then she will set up on the door to area 5 just like last time, illusion of poor, dear Edge at the ready.

Yasei’s eyes roll into the back of her head, as if she’s concentrating REALLY hard to recall something.

My friends, remember what that smoky fellow told us when we first entered this cave?

“The forge up ahead is inFESted with firenewts! There are also keeping their strider mounts in (AREA 10), and they're holding dwarven prisoners in (AREA 9). Ok?! Now please go away!”

“Good point. They’re also asking us to clear this place out. Think we should break them out first?”

"If we break them out we might have more help in killing these creatures."

“Or we could get them killed. We don’t know that their competent fighters.”

"And we don't know that they're not. Plus these newts know that we are here now, even if they can't fight, wouldn't it be better to free the dwarves before they're killed or used as some sort of hostages."

“Fair enough. We doing a jailbreak?”

“My experience is that dwarves are hardy folk. Strong of mind, body, and spirit. We’re currently a man down.  I vote for freeing the captured dwarves first. Besides, that last room was their weapons storeroom, so I would expect at least some of the dwarves to be warriors!”

“Maybe we should bring some gear along for them?”

(The dwarves will not be in Area5 - but there is plenty of noise coming from there.)

OOC: Yes, I believe that we were going to turn around, go to Area 9, then come back with the freed prisoners and tackle Area 5

Ok! Updating "soon".

"The way behind us is clear. I say release them and let them decide." Shariel stands in prayer, signing an intricate pattern over Edge's body for a long moment.
