Klopas stops and turns around.  He strains a look at the Innkeeper before letting out a nostriled sigh.

"Hey, don't worry about it..." Klopas responds with a semi-understanding tone.  "I understand what it's like to not be at your best."

He turns his gaze and nods his head to Abrotonon in signal to head back over to Goran's room.

"We certainly aren't at the moment, so let's see what you can do for our friend."

" Well, I noticed your friend Goran, I think? They looked distraught."

He walks up to Goran's room and Knocks," Is it alright if I come in?"

"That's one way to put it... he was nearly dead." Klopas responds somberly as he opens Goran's door.  "I don't think he'll be responding to you.  I managed to just stabilize him on our return, but he's been unconscious for days."

Klopas approaches Goran's bedside with a troubled expression.

"Our small band lost one to death and another to defeat..." he confesses.  "I'd hate to lose a third."

Abrotonon followed quietly behind, Klopas words sitting heavy on her heart.

“Oh my goodness I didn’t realize” he walks up to the bed and gently reaches out his hand touching gorans shoulder and mutters some incantations.

Goran sits up with a jolt. "Wh...what happened? I feel like I've been asleep for days." He rubs his eyes, furthering the image of waking from a long sleep. "My head is hurting, but it feels clear and almost...refreshing. Whatever happened it feels good to be awake ag..." He pauses and looks at this newcomer. "Who are you? And why are you standing there with such a concerned look on your face?"

Klopas breathes a sigh of relief, and releases what had been a tensed body.

"Good to have you back.." he replies.  "You've been out 3 days.  An unknown arrrow...be it assailant or trap, hit true its mark."

Gerbrek steps back and grins “glad to see your back. I’m Gerbrek coldhammer, but my friends call me ummm well I guess Gerbrek” and he sticks out his hand as to shake Goran

“I run the inn your sitting inn” he adds

Klopas shoots an 'okay, we did it.' glance to Abrotonon.

“Now Goran is there anything I could get maybe some soup or a warm drink” 

" Congrats on not being in a coma!"

( Permission to remake Abrotonon after my accidental deletion incident?)

Goran shoots Abrotonon a sideways glance at the coma remark. "No thank you, I'm fine" he stands for the first time in days. A bit wobbly he stretches out the stiffness that comes with too much sleep. "So what's going on now then? Is that it? We try once and...almost die or we try something different?"

Klopas lets out a thoughtful hum.

"Well, I'm in favor of trying again." he replies.  "...though we need to figure out healing...without it...I'm afraid we'll only yield similar results.."

All this was said with him staring off into somewhere...despite his gaze being fixated on a spot in the floor.  He looks up at the company before him as if awaiting their thoughts and responses.

" I'm not in favour of heading back there period....but if we do...lots of healing potions or someone with a diety on call would be great."

Klopas nods his head in agreement to Abrotonon's statement.

"That's exactly where I was headed before the InnKeeper's...eh...Gerbrek's...approach." Klopas chimes in.  "...so we'll still need some potions or scrolls or something...not to mention having someone who could actually heal present with us being helpful..."

Klopas looks around to each of the company for response.

"Hey umm, hate to intrude but what is this place you speak of?"

Gerbrek looks around confused

"Hey umm, hate to intrude but what is this place you speak of?"

Gerbrek looks around confused

" Theres some ruins at a bend in the river, my friend died there.  What was it called again?"

"...the Court of Orestes..." Klopas grunts.  "Holds different meaning now..."

He breathes heavily and turns to gaze nowhere in particular at the wall.

"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry for your loss and, of course, I would love to help. I haven't gone out on a good adventure in ages. I've still got some potions in the back", Gerbrek states.

Klopas turns and gives an odd look to Gerbrek.

"...not to look a gift horse in the mouth..." he replies, "...but you're being oftly friendly and cooperative for someone we barely know."

He considers his words while once again trying to gauge the dwarf before him.

"I've usually had more gruff encounters with your race...besides which, aren't you the innkeeper here?  Can you really go with us?"
