ooc: lol, hopefully it's the crit deception, maybe my performance is so bad he cant help but believe it :)

(Oh, OK, I misread the initial post - this is fine with me then because it's fun.)

The dogs are both very cautious of Usul and Alexandra, still growling low, still greedily taking the food offered to them.

(If anyone has any water in their rations, it might be a good idea to take it out - either to treat Crush's wounds or to give to the dogs, I guess depending on your priorities.)

((Maybe we can say Usul understands the dogs are thirsty...?))

Seeing their thirst after giving them a snack Usul will bring out his waterskin and try to pour some into his hands for the dogs to drink from.

Aria a bit disappointed at the wary crowd's lack of help... takes out her waterskin and attempts to treat Crush's wounds.

(I was just thinking that the dogs obviously haven't been eating very much, so they're probably dehydrated, too. Jerky isn't going to be the easiest thing for them to eat and they're trying to eat it fast because they're dogs and this might be a good way to win their trust)

Aria pours some of her water over Crush's wounds and he winces, so he's still with us. While this is happening, Veryes comes to Sen's aid with the guard and really has him on his heels with her questioning where he was during all of this. "I was -- that's none -- I don't -- that's Waterdeep business I'll have you know, not anything you need to be concerned with. But it looks like everything here is all well and good except for those three, I'll have someone from the city come round them up and dispose of them. Reckon some urchins will come claim the crows, heh." He's referring to the thugs and Crush, assuming they're all dead. He isn't really aware of what Aria's doing.

Aria calls out to Usul... Do you know of any places around here that we might be able to find something to help Crush? He's alive but just barely. Aria then produces a piece of jerky from her rations and calls out to the one of the mastiffs that Usul is feeding. Here puppy... we don't mean you any harm. Let me see if I can't calm these pups down while you think of a way to get us some help.

Animal Handling Check: 20

Usul likely knows a clinic near ((or we can see if our bard can help when they get back))

The guard sees the dogs rush over to Aria, and he blinks a couple of times trying to process this situation. "Wait. Is that -- thing -- one of yours?" he asks Veryes, in reference to Crush.

 ((Bard's out of spells lol))

Very loudly, Gatt says, "Somebody SLIPPED and FELL in the KITCHEN... which is... OUTDOORS. We have TO GO NOW TO A DIFFERENT PLACE THAN HERE."

Alexandra's picked up a thing or two about first aid while living alone, she's bummed about the dogs not warming up to her but she makes her way to Crush to try and stabilize him. Medicine: 17

(Rip Crush)

The guard removes a small canteen from his coat and deliberately unscrews the top and pours a quick splash down Crush's throat. "You all clear out of here. Thank you to for your service to Waterdeep, the Masked Lords thank you for your service, please note that this official thank you does not make you employees or otherwise official representatives of the Masked Lords in any way, shape, or form." He looks at Sen. "You forget your potion? Rookie." and he begins dispersing the crowd. 

Crush is back up with 1 HP from a quick sip of a healing potion.

Aria goes into her backpack and produces a bedroll and fashions a stretcher out of it. She then calls over the other mastiff....  Come here puppy!! And with the rope will try to tie the stretcher to the two mastiffs so they can help carry Crush to a nearby clinic.

ANIMAL HANDLING: 12

((Crush is up, so the mastiffs aren't needed for that))

Usul will be focusing on the mastiff which looks the most weak. Trying to sooth and, slowly, feed him. Again, hoping to make friends with it as a mount later ^^

Veryes looking somewhat indignant says "I saw the whole things! This brave guard saved those two kids! He was amazing! Where were you? Huh? Why weren't you here to help! Well don't just stand there with you're mouth open. Did you see those birds? They were fighting with those bad men just like he says! Did you see where those birds went?"

Deception check 23

Thank you ma'am, just doing my job.  Sen's Deception check: 21

Sen looks suitably embarrassed at 'forgetting' his healing potion; yeah, sorry about that.

Veryes not wanting to push her luck too much with this guard would like to try and determine if this guard looks like he's going to stick around and be nosy or if he's feeling like his work here is done?

Insight check: 0

ooc: ha, yeah probably not so I'll go with the truth

Veryes says to the guard "Well, that, thing as you say let's me ride on it's shoulders. I am rather small and it gives me a better view of the city."

Turning to Sen she says "Thank you brave guard for your offer to show us to the closest clinic. You are very kind! I think it would be best if went there right away."

"Crush win right? You see crush beat bad guys that hurt kids?" the orc mumbles from the ground.
