Leo looked over at Zahim. "I don't think I need to get closer to tell you that he seems like he's deaf." Making sure that Hubert drank the tea, Leo walked over to Zahim and snapped his fingers next to his ears. Then in front of his face. After doing those two things, Leo tried to pantomime that Hubert couldn't hear.

Performance is in order, I think?: 19

When I notice him snapping I start to realize what happened "Ahh great of course im deaf, alright **** me. I say and then I just lie down and pass out

...[so, do we all officially take a long rest now?]

The sun rises and reaches it's zenith as you lie in peaceful slumber. Waking in the early afternoon refreshed if not completely healed of mental and physical wounds, you nevertheless view your current predicament with a more positive air.

(As we discussed, you gain the benefits of a short rest by taking a long rest with a few exceptions, to reflect the gritty and mortal nature of this campaign as we discussed previously. Your insane conditions have now worn off, and you are no longer exhausted. You may roll Hit Dice and you regain any expended features granted by your Professions. Any characters who suffered wounds during the previous encounter must make a Constitution ST. Please post the total amount of damage taken along with your ST roll so that I can impose appropriate Wounded conditions.)

"All these people do is talk to each other and I'm always left out........." John laments to himself.

[Lumin had taken 5 damage, CON ST 16, Roll of a Hit Dice 4 ]

Upon waking up, Lumin looks around, "Okay guys, I hope everyone is feeling better rested. Leo you good? Hubert? Grungle? Zahim? Hey, John, how 'bout you? you all good buddy? Conrad? Stan? We all good? Anyone need anything? Sorry for the role call guys...just a habit I picked up from Uncle Jaro...you know...before the fire."

[Leo had taken 5 damage. Constitution Save: 2. Hit die: 7.]

Leo stirred from his slumber. "Five more minutes, Sister Jean..." The brief comment was all he mumbled before slipping back into slumber.

//no damage taken//

Grungle suddenly sits straight up, "what!?" then shakes his head and looks around at the others remembering last night's terror. "Hell of a night guys. What now?"

Stan awakens & starts to see about making the camp ready to get under way. He wants to put as much distance between himself & the ruins of Buying. "So where to gents?", he asks the group as they begin stirring.

Lumin: Lumin's arm is stiff and sports a new scar but is otherwise operational.

Leo: Leo retains a nasty wound which has become infected overnight and burns incessantly. 7 This is on his chest. Wounded Condition: Disadvantage on all Saving Throws and Ability Checks which require Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution.

Leo winced as he sat up. Looking down at his chest, he felt for his healer's kit. "Somewhere with clean water and a variety of herbs would be nice. Ow." Leo tightened a bandage around his wound, hoping to keep himself from getting any worse. He ran through every bit of knowledge he might have on infections, hoping to pull up something to help ease the pain or reduce the severity of his wound.

Medicine: 24

Leo applies some soothing plants to the wound to reduce the burning and draw out the infection. The damage, however, is already done, and only time will heal this wound. Leo suffers from his Wounded condition for 12 hours.

Stan comments to Leo. "You're not looking to good there, Leo. Are you going to be able to travel today? I'd like to put some distance between us & the ruins of Byting; but not at the expense of anyone still suffering from yesterday's battles. Do we need to rest another day for you & the others to recuperate?"

Grungle walks over to Stan “I’m feeling much better. I can’t speak for the others but I’m ready to move on.”

Packing up his bedroll, "Let's keep Leo in the middle of the party as we travel, no good putting him in harm's way while he's healing. Should we continue on toward Windshire?" As he takes a last look at Byting, Lumin wonders what the future will hold for them all.

[What does the city look like at this point? Perception: 13 ]

You cannot see Byting through the trees, only an ominous plume of smoke rising from it's approximate location.

"It's all just smoke and mirrors, boys. Let's get out of here."

John wakes up from his slumber. "Hey guys, perhaps we should go back and look for survivors."

"Later, later. 've got a splittin' 'eadache. Don't 'member much fr'm last night. Wha happened?"

Hubert is laying collapsed on the ground, one hand massaging his head.

"You feeling okay there, buddy?"
