You quickly make your way to the well, lowering a bucket with your good hand. After some time its descent slows and halts. You haul it back up, a task that proves to be rather difficult when done with only one arm, and grab the battered wooden handle. There's no ladle nearby, so your only option is to drink straight from the bucket. Looking inside, the water appears clean enough, with only a little mud. You need water more than hygiene, so down the hatch it goes, as you awkwardly tilt the bucket back to drink. The bucket is still mostly full, and you hand it off to the golem.
The next step is trickier: extricating yourself from the tattered robe. It takes a good long while, but you finally manage to take it off. With the robe slung over your shoulder, you search for a suitable candidate for a splint. You find a couple bits of wood of the right length which are mostly straight, and settle down, your bare back pressed against the trunk of a tree. Slowly, painstakingly, you cut long lengths of cloth from the robe with one of the crossbow bolts. It takes close to two hours to get enough for the job. It's at this point that you realize that you can't hold the wood up to your arm while wrapping it, and the golem clearly isn't qualified. Before continuing, you don the cotton clothes,
very carefully rolling the left sleeve up to your shoulder, and then the red leather, barring the left bracer, which you tuck into your pack.
Reluctantly, you call to Basin, who has been hopping around near the well,
"Basin! Could you be a dear and hold this for me?" Your servant obeys rather strangely, encasing your whole left arm in himself from the shoulder to the wrist, securing the lengths of wood in place. As you begin to wrap the dirty cloth around the splint, Basin shifts small sections of himself out of the way. By the time you've finished and tied off the makeshift bandages with a pronounced wince, your arm feels very warm, tingling slightly.
The armor looks rather distinctive, too, with those symbols branded into it. You slip on the relatively clean robe over everything else, about as satisfied as you could be at the moment.

((There really wasn't a firm consensus on what to do apart from that. I'll just give you warning to avoid pointless time-wasting: there are only a handful of rooms left inside, and none of them have anything but more looted corpses, rubble, and broken furniture.))
