Chapter 5: Return to the Surface

Hunter knows from her reading that to truly kill a demon, you have to do it on its home plane.

It only takes a few minutes before you stumble across a temple of Helm. A couple of guards at the door look alarmed by your condition, immediately ushering you into the temple, "What in the Nine Hells happened to you?"

The guards look at eachother and nod. One of them slips out the doors, sword drawn. You now hear a shuffling coming from down the hallway. Peering down, you notice that there is already a priest approaching; it seems that they had sent for help while you told your tale.

An elderly priest walks up to you and motions for the guard to lay you down. He sends the guards to take the less-injured away and an acolyte removes the majority of Hunter's clothing, leaving her in her smallclothes, so the priest can better see the wounds. He sighs, "Not as terrible as they looked, thankfully." he says and begins chanting a prayer to Helm. Once the worst of the wounds are healed, the acolyte leaves, fetching some fine white robes for Hunter, "Here, take these," she says with a kind smile.

Hunter
"They are quite well, being tended in another room," the acolyte says kindly, "When you are ready, we can take you to them, or we can take you to a room here to get a good night's rest."

Others
You are led into another room down the hall. The acolytes do their best to tend your wounds, and you feel much better after they tend to your wounds. They don't speak much aside from asking how you feel and offering to bring you anything you might require (food, drinks, blankets).

Hunter is escorted back to the others after the old priest wishes you a good night. You enter the room and the acolytes bow and exit the room to afford you some privacy.
