...Ghhhh
Ascertained deep penetration, and its in the lungs. This may be fatal..and I don't have tools for it!
Gah. I can't-..Use what I learned!
Arrow to the lungs. May infect soon. Blood loss is going to be great. Emphysema? Ugh.
...I will have to employ emergency procedures. Sorry Renard.
Heal Renard - completely destroy the arrow via focusing the heat as I hold it, but wet my hands first so that the remnants would cling to my hands instead to getting in Renard's body. Same goes for the arrowhead.
Hopefully this works.
((And you thought I'd just reach in and pull out the arrowhead 
Oh the complications of being shot~'
And no I'm not doing 'magic'. I'm employing an unconventional use of restoration!))
(( really long day, too sleepy for rp, sorry. I'll try to make more of an effort next post))
Lay still while Akari does her things. While she is worki look around to warn her of attacks.
Akari Will: 5
Akari Will: 4
Akari Luk: ? ?
Renard Tou: 3-1
Akari spd: 6-2
Akari Will: 5-1
Akari quickly wet her hands on the grass around her and then tried something new with her magic, carefully heating the arrow in her hands, first in a narrow band just above where the shaft penetrated the skin, separating the majority of the arrow from the parts inside which Akari then picked up and set beside her before resuming her work. Then very, VERY carefully and slowly lowering the band along the shaft of the arrow. burning away the wood bit by bit. finally, all that is left is the arrowhead itself.
Here came the tricky part, re-wetting her hands first, Akari then took her tiny disc of incredible heat and lowered it down into the arrowhead itself, carefully melting, and then boiling away, the metal of the arrowhead from the inside out. Although she worked fast, still, the heat was just too intense, and Renard attempted to cry out as he felt the inside of the chest and lung searing from the branding iron inside him, at the same time as the hole in his lung was being unstoppered, causing even more of it to collapse, and it was still filling itself with blood, but akari managed to restrain him in time, before he could jostle her work, and ?luckilly? he passed out soon after. Akari finished her work after several more intense moments, entirely focused on the task of boiling away the metal arrowhead inside her patient's chest.
Akari then went right to work attempting to use more traditional healing methods to close the wound itself and purge infection. however, in her exhaustion, she ended up being unable to finish the task right away. she did manage to reduce the bleeding and even helped him regrow a thin membrane over the hole in his lung, but it's still in a fragile state.
Renard status: Unconscious, arrow removed cleanly, hole in right lung cauterized and has a thin membrane of tissue over it. right lung mostly collapsed and contains a signifigant amount of blood, left lung contains a small amount of blood but is still fully functional. nauseous from blood going up his windpipe and then going back down into his stomach. broken rib. open wound in chest. mild bleeding. unknown risk of infection.
Akari status: Tired, losing focus from extended high-intensity casting with very delicate control outside her field of expertise.
No action posted for Joe, again.
Joe Tou: 3-1
Nope, still bleeding out
Bleeding to death: final turn.
Reynan spd: 3+3

"Well… time to try something a bit different. Not exactly how I'd imagined using my tech, but… desperate measures, I guess."
Kick skeleton 1 using the rocket boosters for extra force and to burn him, and try to not look like a really, really bad sci-fi kung-fu movie while doing it.
Raynen agi: 5+2
Raynen luk: ? ?
Skel 1(gs) tou: 1
Skel 1(gs) tou: 2
Raynen luk: ? ?
Raynen, looking
exactly like a really, really bad sci-fi kung-fu movie, does a rocket-powered backflip onto the skull of the glowing skeleton, then sets the boosters on his feet to maximum burn, with impressive incindary effects, you all watch in awe as the skeleton's skull blackens and falls apart, and the rest of the body collapses into a disjointed inanimate pile. Raynen then lands and collects the fallen skeleton's sword. now, he's finally got himself a low-tech weapon.
Pounce upon the skeleton I'm currently attacking, try to grapple and pull off his skull.
Pantagruel agi: autohit
Pantagruel str: 5
Skel 2(bs) str: 6-2
Skel 2(bs) tou: 4-2
Skel 2(bs) tou: 3-2
Pantagruel, switching targets after watching his robot friend's chinese display, proceeds to run up behind the no-longer blinded since Akari's light spell wore off but still lost and confused final sword skeleton, grabs its skull from behind, and after some rather akward twisting and wrenching it about from side to side, manages to snap it off from the rest. the skeleton as a whole, similar to the other beheaded one, falls apart after the removal of its skull. leaving its unused sword lying on the grass beside pantagruel.
Skel 5(b) agi: 2-1
Skel 5(b) luk: ? ?
The skeletal bowman again raised it's arms, another arrow nocked. drew the bow back, and then was left looking quite foolish as the bowstring snapped and the arrow went limp in its right hand. it then reached down towards its belt, drew a dagger, and has begun advancing on the distracted and exhausted Akari.
If it was physically possible for him to get old, Merik would have worried about it.
Dusting off his coat and remaining close to the wall, Merik attempts the maneuver again from a different wall sconce.
Merik luk: ? ?
Merik agi: 4+2
Dusting himself off, Merik attempted to scale the wall again, this time on the other side of the gate. He runs up, grabs the wall sconce, pulls himself up, uses it as a foothold to perform a flying leap on to the top of the wall, and ends up belly-to-belly with a skeletal archer that was attempting to look down at whatever was making that noise at the gate.
Oh, and there's a second one on the other side, and the wall doesn't go overtop the gate. and yes, it is looking at you.
Party status summary:
Joe: idly bleeding to death
Renard: unconsious, unhealthy, but alive
Akari: exhausted, being charged by a skeleton with a knife
Raynen: Robo-jet-lee, completed the grand quest for a sword.
Pantagruel: Bear in a suit.
Merik: pulling aggro from stationary enemies.
