Campaign
I'm going to timeskip to the next in game day next turn. Next turn will probably happen Sunday when I'll hopefully be done with the stuff I'm doing. If you want to do something or learn something during that time, say so.
Also, unless you indicate otherwise, I'm going to assume you'll be fine with staying in the rooms assigned to you (which for Alan will be a "special room reserved for their finest guests" that just so happens to be a wooden shack instead of inside the tower) (gonna have Irine with Theri and Ike with Nikolai and Zechariah unless there are other preferences), you'll be fine with helping around with the work the General assigns to you and otherwise follow his instructions, will be fine with having dinner with him and not snooping around or otherwise trying to explore or steal or whatever.
I might end up doing it in two parts, one until the night falls and one until morning comes, both to make it easier on me and to give you a chance to interrupt or do additional things.
"We should bring up the can to the guy doing painting stuff to the pyromaniac fox girl. He needs to know that it's a good substance! It'll help him paint better.
Well, it's either that or I wanna drink it and I don't think that'd be a super idea to do.
...
I'm sure it can't have any negative consequences, know what I'm saying?"
If I can get to the top of the can with it being moved, do so and try to open and drink it. If not, wheedle at Ike to help me move it so I can get at it until he acquiesces.
Be reasonably cooperative with my medical treatment.
((No problem dude, we're all having fun here probably. Except for River, who I half expect to try to shank Rhymerer when we get back.))
Help Alan with his bleeding through the vaunted magic of Red Bull.
Maybe consider how exactly one would address bleeding in the esophagus in the meantime, as I really don't want to stick my hand down his throat.
No clue. Kiss it to make it better?
And sure, you help Alan lower the giant can to the floor (it might be heavy, but you're not lifting, merely carefully tipping) and open it without spilling it everywhere. Not sure if getting Alan
caffeinated and even more hyperactive is such a good idea...
I watch and wait.
He continues heating the container until it starts releasing a very sweet smell along with a bit of steam.
He sits on a chair and applies the few drops of liquid that have condensed on the container's nozzle to his eyes before closing them, leaning backwards and exhaling in relief.
"Oh... Okay. So what were we talking about again? Oh, right, your destination. I have a minimap around here somewhere. Made it myself from dust from the Judgment Stone itself. I can use it to show you the area in more detail. I'll also tell you what I know about it, but it's mostly ancient history and rumors. I don't know how useful it will be."((This is a reminder that I will be busy until Christmas. I'll try to continue making turns in the meantime, but I make no guarantees for quantity or quality.))[...]
Nikolai: fractured palm, pain and loss of sensation at tip of fingers of same hand, darker colouration of tip of fingers of the same hand. River says it's infected. He keeps staring at Nikolai and his hand.
I don't really know how those things are supposed to be treated beyond "go to a hospital" and I don't have time to research. If you don't know either and it comes down to it, I'll probably just do a medic roll with some bonuses and keep it vague. Unless you decide to use magic or ask River to help.
((Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year~ I wish you well, for a Brighter Future! 
))
[Alright, it is possible to treat Nikolai's injury- wait let me IC this.]
Theri gave River a 
as she listened, with her mind pondering what she heard based on what she knew. She knew a bit of medical aid given her training in physical combat.
Hmm, Nikolai can be treated--depending solely on the amount of damage the hand has received; if it's a deep fracture to the bone--considering the many bones the hand has--it'll be...difficult, to say the least, considering our methods, sans non-physical alternatives...how I wish I learned other ways. Possible blood clot or lack of blood supply may lead to the discoloration--the lack of pain and loss may indicate nerve damage, or the blood supply thing. I should've looked at it when I had a chance back when I was...being forgetfully unaware. What's happening to me?
Mhh. Alan is unsure. It'll heal in time but 'minor bleeding' is a very subjective thing. And where in the esophagus? The upper thirds are more voluntary than involuntary muscle and...I can't tend to that at all without knowing what's the cause. Must get back to Nikolai.
"Thanks River, and put in mind that everyone here wants to help you. They're just...quirky at times." Theri added a smile to the end, putting a chirpy emphasis on 'quirky'. She made sure to lower her voice for the next part: "I'll get with Nikolai and help out Irine. There seems to be something with my memory but I can only recall bits and pieces of the recent time. Maybe she will need my help too--please take care River."
Get to Nikolai's area and close the door behind me! (as I believe Irine and Nik are both in the same room with the General). Admire surroundings-in-context upon entry, and be respectful.
((Thanks. You too! To everyone here, really. I don't say this enough, but I really like you guys and girls over here. You're very fun and good and you give me one more reason to smile during the day. Ib like making stories with you and I hope we'll continue to do so and that I'll be able to post more often.))
"I will try. Thank you. And... I am here. I mean, if you need me for anything."The room Irine and the General are in is one big room at the top of the stairwell, converted into a work area. It has cupboards filled with things both mundane (like cloth, herbs, wood, nails and other supplies) and magical (identified by their distinctive glow). At its centre is a large table, large enough to comfortably fit two or three people lying down on it. There's a window in each of its four walls. One window is surrounded by painting supplies and a painting of the view from that window at different times of day or with different subjects. The strokes on the painting look small and pointy, as if they were made with great speed, with old strokes blending with new ones of a different colour, mixing on the canvas. There are also various work tables with half finished projects and tools on them, one for stone work, another for wood work... All in all, it looks like the General has decided to work on creating during his retirement, creating works that please him and works he could sell to feed himself and his family.
Irine is standing closer to the General who is currently sitting on a chair and relaxing.
There is not a door in this room but there is a hatch that can be used to cover the stairs you came through. You could close that if you wished.
