(( Except the turn before that he was in the valley fighting with an assassin not in the forest near us, then he was suddenly standing next to you in the forest to heal you without actually ever coming to the forest or seeing you get hurt. ))
Bork dug a hole after the assassins left and Blenk healed him.  I'm assuming you were all fighting in roughly the same area, since you all had the option to attack the same enemies.  Then Bork disappeared, and  Blenk walked off.  Your character probably would have gone for Blenk.

(( Not really even animals know better then to kill the person who can help them, why kill the only healer?
But the point I was making in that message was Blenk was in the valley not the forest and then suddenly was standing in the forest to heal Bork while having had no idea where Bork was or if he was hurt.
Now he's standing in a hut while we are in a tunnel under ground and is trying to heal Bork while again having no idea where he is or if he's hurt. ))

He can hear a Yeti ripping off someone's leg.  He did roll a 4.
And you've been using the whole "My yeti bloodlust makes me attack the nearest guy, even if he's on my team" defense.  But you can distinguish the healer?
Seriously man, just stop trying to justify yourself to me.  You're not doing a good job.

(( I had 2 choices I picked 1, pretty simple, no need to justify it.
He heard sounds of fighting he still has no idea it's Bork at all, so how can he choose to heal him before he has been into the hole to find out it's him? ))

Blenk is a Half-Dwarf, Half-Troll naturalist. How about we let the DICE decide?

Chances are, I could roll a 1, and destroy myself and Bork.

Plus, you're kinda a liability, Mesor. More danger than use.

(( How so? I came out of the forest found somebody being attacked, killed his attacker and was leaving when the second assassin popped up, after that I just went with my characters style and since the target of his rage escaped I picked another target, if I'd got the assassin I'd have taken the body and left again peacefully.
How does your race enable you to heal somebody who is under ground and for that matter you don't even know is actually there? ))

Well, I just picked out some things you said.  Mainly because I don't like how you keep switching your story to justify what you're doing.
(( I'm a nice Yeti as well I won't kill my own team, unless they are annoying humans who try to kill injure me and kill part of their own team and steal from me..... Bork. ))
(( Hey the damned human deserves to die, anybody else I'll be more then happy to help, this one just has to be killed for all our goods. Remember he said himself it's his mission in this game to kill us, I just decided to kill him before he trys to kill me or one of you... again. ))
(( And steal my sword several times, plus I am a yeti and I'm hungry. ))
((Twice also, you tried to take it from the floor then from me.))
That's you justifying it with him being there to kill all of you.  It's an OOC reason, and Onyx said:
h- Actually. wait.

I just noticed something. Both attempts at theft failed before Bork even got close to Josh. The box never even made it off the platform. He dropped it on his foot, then Grek took it. Technically, Josh isn't even aware Bork was trying to screw him over. Because he screwed it up every time before it even got close to Josh.

That.... Well fuck. That changes literally everything.

How do I fix that? This.... I'm not even aware of what to do in this situation.
so you said:
Not really I'm still a pissed off yeti and my target the assassin escaped.
So I'd be trying to kill something either way Bork was just unlucky enough to be the only person present.
But Blenk was there too.  And he's the one who didn't disappear.
(( Not really even animals know better then to kill the person who can help them, why kill the only healer?
But the point I was making in that message was Blenk was in the valley not the forest and then suddenly was standing in the forest to heal Bork while having had no idea where Bork was or if he was hurt.
Now he's standing in a hut while we are in a tunnel under ground and is trying to heal Bork while again having no idea where he is or if he's hurt. ))
Then you say it was because you can distinguish because "even animals know better" (they don't, I can't even tell you how many times my guinea pigs, birds, and rabbits have bit the hand that feeds them).
(( I had 2 choices I picked 1, pretty simple, no need to justify it.
He heard sounds of fighting he still has no idea it's Bork at all, so how can he choose to heal him before he has been into the hole to find out it's him? ))
Then you say it was just chance.


(( How so? I came out of the forest found somebody being attacked, killed his attacker and was leaving when the second assassin popped up, after that I just went with my characters style and since the target of his rage escaped I picked another target, if I'd got the assassin I'd have taken the body and left again peacefully.

And he can hear the fighting.  He knows someone is down there.  And he knows the two of you are missing.  And he can probably hear you two having it out.  You're a yeti, he's Swedish (and was probably yelling "BORK BORK BORK" until he was knocked unconscious.

To avoid this in the future, if it happens again, why not let Onyx roll to see who your target is, using the typical 1d6 system?  Then it will really be chance.

(( Works for me, meh I wanted to kill Greens but I picked at random not him specifically.
He did not shout though the only thing he said was that he should keep stabbing me plus it does not include a name being shouted in the roll to decide what was noticed.
The heal itself makes sense enough even if it is odd, but given that he's healing somebody he can't see then it should be something like roll to heal then roll to decide who gets healed since he can not see his target and does not know his position other then a rough idea from a lot of confused grunting. But either way won't actually matter given that even if I roll a 1 I'm going to land a minor double head blow on a character who is all but dead. Healing a dead guy will just give a good looking corpse minus the head. ))

The whole "BORK BORK BORK" thing is a reference to his character.  And it really doesn't seem random, since you only now realized Blenk was there too.

(( I remembered the healer was present but at the time I had never looked at who was the healer, I knew I had 2 choice just didn't realize the second was Blenk until now. But in any case since my action comes before the healing action and I have a +2 even a 1 is a minor success and will destroy Bork given his current condition. Healing a dead guy won't change much. But I still think if you are going to attempt to heal based only on a rough idea of where a sound is coming from if you manage to heal you should then have to roll to see who is healed. Since trying to heal without seeing who your healing should come at a risk or have some down side to balance it out. ))

Probably a negative modifier.  And you did realize who the healer is, don't even try to RP not knowing.  There's three humans, and one troll.  And you recognized the human and not the troll?

(( I ain't read much of peoples moves until now, so I did not know who the healer was until recently, in character all I knew was I had 2 options and I went for one. Next time I'll flip a coin or get Onyx to pick a target for me, I ain't really looked much into what characters are in the game since I have had very little contact with any of them yet, My character would not even understand the healing at all in any case given his low I.Q. ))

Nope. He was just finished healing me, when you started to make actions to attack me. He hadn't started moving yet.
