Edmond breathe's deep, raises his quarter staff,, let's his his breath ou (quarterstaff 2 handed vs Goblin BANDIT 5 Attack Attack: 19 Damage: 5) t and

slams his round quarterstaff squarely across BANDIT 5's temple with a dull crack like he had just struck a not quite ripe giant watermelon.  He moves across Bandit 5 to place his own bedroll between himself and the rock 1 square North of Bandit 4 and facing Bandit 4, ready to continue the fight.  The time for Edmond to talk his way through this battle is now over.

(ooc: pardon Emperor, I'm pretty certain bandit 5 is now on the ground, yes?)

 (...you got to know when to hold 'em...) 

Edmond looks around, sees who is upright and who isn't, feeling like they'd been fighting all night and very surprised at how little the stars had moved. 

Hold up, Hati.  Much as I would like to give chase our place is here with our friends. Let's get the fire re lit, and then we'll sort out the dead and wounded. I'll take the 1st watch. Who wants my healing potion?

After he relights the campfire he places the injured next to it, getting them food, water, and Lay on Hands 1 point each as he does so.

Hati lands back on the floor and begins to help in dragging the wounded together for anyone who can heal them to do their work. Having tried last time, he's confident that he shouldn't be involved. Hati will fly back up to his earlier tree branch, then go to sleep.

Gerrack lands next to the body of the first bandit and retrieves his staff. Then he begins to methodically go through each body, looking specifically for weapons, but also coin.  What he finds, he brings to the campfire and splits equally among the party.  (He also tries to retrieve his dart, if he can find it.)

 Edmond takes one last swing at the air, and considers for half a shake to give chase.

Hold up, Hati.  Our place is here, with our friends.  Come, let us get the fire relit, and then we will sort the living from the dead.  I'll take 1st watch.

With that he moves his injured comrades to the fire, making certain they are comfortable, giving each of them 1 hit point from Lay on Hands as he does so.

I have an extra Healing Potion if anyone wants it.

And then he rearranges his gear so that he can get at his 'hammer and shield easily.

 Perception 8

"Well that went south quick," Gimble mumbles as he attempts to sit up to get at his pack.  "I have a healing potion as well.  I was hoping to save it for the cave and the goblins, but it looks as though its use has already come.  Thanks for the help up Edmond by the way.  Oy, Gerrack, did you happen to find my daggers over there?" (pointing to the Red Brand Bandit 1)  Gimble sits by the fire comfortably as he can, and he raises the bottle to his lips and drinks deeply the healing potion (OOC: Unless the benevolent Emperor Karino has another way to heal the mishap of the roller lol)

"Who has guard now? Do we think those guys will come back? How many were there and how many are still alive? Yeah, might be a bit shook up.  Anyone have anything to settle the nerves? Ha"

(OOC: seriously, a 1 on one of those dice.....cant catch a break haha)

(OOC: i'm guessing Conrick does not wish to pursue but i'll wait for his answer.)

 (OOC: yes, the fighting was 4 rounds, so it was roughly half a minute. since both Gimble and Misty got natural 20s on their watches i'll say that Edmond counts for having rolled a natural 20 on the watch, for continuing the first watch. the campfire is still going, but i'll say you are making sure its burning nice and strong.)

 (OOC: your staff is actually over where Gimble's body was, but Gerrack still retrieves it. Gerrack also finds Gimble's daggers nearby [feel free to collect them up for Gimble if you wish]. Since the dart was the killing blow, you pull the dart right out of the bandits neck pretty easily. give me an investigation check for looting.)

(OOC: @ Gimble, i will temporarily allow rerolling natural ones for the rest of the game's day [basically until everyone has had their long rest]. If Gimble wishes to resume his watch, he will retain his natural 20 score for the watch.)

GERRACK is addressing everybody

INVESTIGATION: 7

"I-I found your daggers, Gimble..."  He hands them over carefully.  After cleaning his weapons, he tucks them away safely as well.  "I f-fear I must r-rest for the e-evening, though."  He limps over to his bedroll and puts it to rights, before tending to his wounds very carefully, trying to ensure they heal cleanly as he rests.

Finnian groans as he slowly eases himself into a sitting position. "Knocked out twice in as many fights... I'm not losin' my edge, am I?" He looks over to his fellow recently-knocked-out folk and asks, "Misty, Gimble, how're the both of ye holding up? Nothing come loose, I hope?"
