"What is that thing?" Saldrina asks warily.

"I believe this is the quasit Brodert lectured us about," Shalelu says, poking the dead creature with an arrow, just to make sure.

OOC:
hope you're feeling well!
Wess goes to put Dawn's Light away, but then decides it'd be better to have his weapon at hand down here. He'll look around and admire any stonework.

Khel took a closer look at the corpse and studied it. This creature was creating all the sinspawns and was quite potent with spell casting. Who knows what else they were going to face in this place? He turned around and said, "This was a difficult battle. How is everyone faring? Maybe we should take some rest before going ahead."

OOC:
Hope you recover well!
Chiagru winces at the mention of 'difficult battle.' Such a small creature did a lot of damage to the much larger half-orc. "Resting a moment is good."

He rubs one of his wounds as he walks to the triangle of bubbling lava-like liquid. "What do you make of this? It appeared as if the quasit summoned forth the other creatures through some kind of blood sacrifice."

"I could use a rest," Saldrina admits, feeling the strain of so much casting in such a short time.
Feb 9, 2025 3:03 am
Still seeing the split skulls of his companions, despite the quasit now being dead, Grimwulf lets out a frustrating growl and smashes the quasit's head into pulp with a forceful swing of his maul. He hopes this ends the spell, or curse, put on him.

He looks over at Shalelu, "Just making sure."

Feeling more tired than normal, Grim sits on the ground and starts cleaning the gore off his weapon, "A great idea."

OOC:
Healing is where Savage Worlds differs a lot from Pathfinder. Your wounds will have a chance to heal every 5 days.

You can try to first aid or treat wounds within the first hour of getting them though. It takes 10 minutes, and is a TN4 Healing check. A success removes 1 wound, a raise removes 2 wounds. Mind though that a critical failure will cause a wound. Without the proper tools though, the healing check will receive a -1 penalty.

I can see that only Li has any training in Healing at all.

Magical healing will also have to be done within the first hour without adding the Greater Healing modifier (costs 10 PP extra). But none of you have healing, so that would mean tracking down Father Zantus.

Also note that each wound give you a -1 penalty on all your actions.

The situation is the following:
Khel has 1 wound
Chiagru has 2 wound
Grimwulf has 1 wound
Saldrina has 1 wound

OOC:
Damn! Should we just stop dungeon exploring and return to Father Zantus? Also, didn't Brodert Quink make alchemical ingredients? He might have some potions or elixirs? Can Li try healing everyone with healing check or is like one person can only heal another in one day?

OOC:
Well, next advance, Saldrina plans of picking up Healing as a power, but that doesn't help us in the now. Li can try to heal each of us, so long as it is done within the Golden Hour (within one hour of receiving the wound). Also, anyone can try to use Healing, at d4-2 (and don't forget your Wild Die, also at -2). It's a slim chance, but so log as you don't roll a critical failure (two 1's) there is no penalty for trying.

Wess is tured but not hurt. He gives a heart laugh a.d says "Looks like you have a choice, rest by the fire, or the water."
OOC:
suppose its up to each player if they want to risk it. I can try untrained healing, I've a few bennies left, but cant reroll a criticalfailure
Feb 9, 2025 5:46 pm
OOC:
we can also try supporting Li, if there's a skill that makes sense, giving him +1 on success, and +2 w. raise.

Up to +4 total, but only up to +2 from a single person.

Grim also needs an hour of rest to remove his -1 fatigue for raging, unless healing, magical or otherwise, removes that.

Oh, and I forgot to mention. In the course of 3 minutes Grimwulf loses his Distracted status. A couple of minutes later, Chigaru comes to his proper senses as well.

Seems much more punishing that regular PF lol. I see we continue on even if its not mechanically the prudent thing to do.

"Whaterver else, we need to make sure no more of these creatures are about," Shalelu says. "They didn't pose a threat to your prowess, but to the average citizen they could be a great bit more dangerous. Tsuto's journal mentioned the quasit's freaks, but didn't specify how many there were."
OOC:
You are not forced to keep going by the way. You are free to tell Shalelu to stuff it, you are in pain :P

But I thought I'd bring the discussion from OOC to IC.

OOC:
Sorry, no time for "proper" RP today, so I will try to keep it brief/mechanical. Li has "silk (10"/20 yards)" - so I presume it could be used as bandages? Although probably quite expensive bandages... but hay! It's what you do for your friends in middle of dangerous dungeons! :)
But I'm not sure it will help any way with "lack of proper tools -1 penalty"? For now, I'm assuming it will not. If I read the rules properly it should take us 50 min?
Li wanted to be sure that the creature is dead... and it will stay this way. So he tossed it's body in the air by lifting it with the tip of his katan and then cut off its head from the rest of the body - when it was still in the mid-air - by a precise cut. If anyone was surprised by his action he would just comment:
"I once read... that if you want to stop a yokai spirit from re-entering a body it recently possessed... you have to separate the head from the rest of the body."

Then he looked around over his friend and noted out loud:
"Oh... my... the little bastard had took a toll on us... please... allow me to see if I will be able to do something about this. I think I will start with Master Chigaru. Any help will be more than welcome. With proper effort we could patch us... just enough to continue with cleaning this cursed place."
OOC:
Edit: spending benny to reroll for Grimwulf:)
Edit 2: Looks that Li was actually paying attention when he was on "Chinese medicine" lessons at his daymo palace... back in the day:D
Wounds: 0 Toughness: 8 (3) Parry: 6 Bennies: 2

Saldrina rubs her wound through the bandages, nodding to Li. "That does feel better, thank you! I suppose I could continue for a short while if necessary."

Khel nodded at Li, thankful for his medical care, "Thank you, Master Li. I can see you are quite proficient in this. Lessons of alchemy from Master Quink will help you create more healing ointments and tinctures."

Wess is about to give his mate a hearty slap on the back, but decides engouraging words might be better for the recently wounded,"That was a battle well fought my friends! Steady on then? No shame in heading back if'n ya need to. "

"So where should we go first?" Shalelu asks. "The stairwell behind the statue or the passage beyond the prison?"
OOC:
Chigaru is stuck with 1 wound. If you want to continue, father Zantus should be able to heal it. He has enough PP to heal after the golden hour, but only for one of you
