After a brief victory rant "Whoooo! We're numba one! That's whats up, right? right? did ya see the look on that things face when it fucking died?! ha ha ha! oh, jesus. Seriously though, I'm great. We're great" he kindly asks the doc to patch him up with the bandages from his backpack.
"Oh yea, definitely battle wounds. Threw myself in front of John there. probably saved his life."
 

Then

Make sure the corpses are divided evenly, two to each wheelbarrow.

Helmacon takes to butchering one of the creatures with his knife, taking care to preserve the long, lash like tentacles.

Additionaly, he takes his spare (Backpack (scaled turkey leather): 2 kg) and cuts it into leather strips.

Lastly, he looks around to secure a hand sized stone from the rubble of the wall.

There is a strange look in his eye. He has an idea.

"OOOOOH SHINY!" Take anything valuable that is currently not owned or being used by anyone else, and push it to wherever the others want it to go. If they don't say where they want it to go, then just push it all into a corner.

bash him over the head with the pommel of my sword if he tries to take from our wheelbarrow or my pack.

Use bandages in myself.

(Did you notice the conditional stating that it was only if he tried to take things out of the wheelbarrow?)

((Why would he take stuff out of perfectly good storage just to push it himself?))

(This wording implies you intend to keep the items for yourself. Not only that, shouting "ooh, shiny" is not exactly reassuring to anyone worried about thieves and kleptomaniacs already ic-ly. You can alter your action or just roll with it. Don't take it personally, though.)

[TankKit]

((...Good point, yelling OOH SHINY is cause for worry. Carry on.))

"What were those things?" Start helping hauling the Dead bodes.

[Dustan Hache]

"best to think of them as standing jellyfish and not think about it too hard."

[Sir Knight]

Helmacon: given that butchering an animal probably takes longer than I think, I've been leaving it for when people camp at night and intend to cook said meat as soon as its ready.  Otherwise, since I'm measuring time in "morning, afternoon, evening," I'd say you'd need to spend the rest of the morning on butchery, and that's a problem if the other exiles want to do something (like leave the area) before you're done.

Or they might want to spend the day mining!  That would work out for you.  But would you care to reveal your sneaky plan?

Dustan: given that Helmacon asked for your medical help and then other people volunteered to move carcasses, I'll assume you help him with his bandages.

[Dustan Hache]

how about I do my previous action, then heal him? Hauling a single corpse and a barrow shouldn't take that long.

[Sir Knight]

No problem, no problem.

Now I'll see if Helmacon replies before I can put up an update.  If not, I'll do everything other than the butchering and just ask how he'd like to continue.

[Sir Knight]

Previous -- Next

With that handled . . .

Dustan gets to work with the carcasses.  It's likely that the stinging effect of the standing jellyfish will wear off eventually, but for now Overseer advises that he grab by the "upper body," and he drags one back to where he left a lantern in his group's wheelbarrow.  Lootington, Durenadal, and Helmacon assist, though the latter has a new brilliant idea and eventually gets to work carving his spare backpack into leather strips.  We're sure to hear more from this in time.

Meanwhile, Frank tries out one of his waterskins of "ether cola," the mineral water promised at the Halfway House to "invigorate, with minimal side effects."  And . . . ow, what?

Spoiler: Drink ether cola! (click to show/hide)

Damage to Frank: 1!
Frank, HP: 1/12

Frank now has +1 to next roll that needs it!  This remains on your character sheet as long as it takes.

I do not know why Frank isn't dead yet.

He definitely feels like he could take on an army of jellyfish soon enough--or, dare I say it, sea cucumbers and nautilii?  But, in the short term, the drink hurts on the way down, like somehow having your entire being suffused with ill-defined underground power could have its bad side.

Speaking of pain, the rest of the time is spent on medicine.

Dustan's results table, healing, actually a doctor:

1: Succeed weakly
2: Succeed
3: Succeed greatly

Dustan's roll: 3, Succeed greatly!
Healing roll (1d6+6): 2+6 = 8!
Helmacon, HP: 10/10

John's results table, healing:

1: Succeed weakly
2: Succeed
3: Succeed greatly
4: Fail by succeeding

John's roll: 2, Succeed!
Healing roll (1d6+1): 6+1 = 7!
John, HP: 8/12

Wounds continue to be treated with ease.  And with irreplaceable strips of fabric from a surface world you may never see again.



Much more manageable set of results.  All inventories updated, including the wheelbarrows and the ether cola bonus: see the first post.  And like I said, Helmacon, proper butchery would take you all morning so you might just leave it for when the team needs to eat at night.  Next?
