Mykael goes about removing the skeletal remains and the pack that lies underneath it from the current. Placing the remains on the ground he carefully removes the armor and sword and places them on the ground as well after which he conducts a quick inventory of the contents of the pack. Mykael arranges all the items in front of him to allow them to dry out although he does leave the coins in the pack and then tends to the remains of the explorer.
Mykael looks around and attempts to gather any nearby rocks and stones and uses them to fashion a simple cairn for the the man's remains. After the man's remains are ensconced in the rocks and stones Mykael says a simple prayer "May your soul find its way to the Boneyard, and may the judgement you find there be just."
After the "Burial" Mykael will help Archival collect branches to help in making stretchers for the animals though he would agree to setting up camp for a couple of days to allow the animals time to heal as well.
As you massage the vial of liquid down White Fang's throat, the wolf wakes, coughing and sputtering. He slurps down the second potion and a few of the deeper wounds close. (From 21 damage, down to 10 damage). Grizzly's wounds close entirely as the second potion is administered.
Gzizzly stays close to Zork but seems to warm to Theaton as well.
The party is currently on the south side of the ford with the pile of rubble. There are two Tatzlwyrm bodies and a new grave for an old skeleton. The day is still quite young.
If you're healing the pets for the next 8 hours effectively ending the day, roll to heal. If you're assisting, please make it clear.
I know nothing of how to heal, so if we plan on staying here I will keep watch.
Theaton tells the others to search the area for any other treasure or valuables while he administers another cure light wounds potion to white fang. After that he will assist in searching the area. Too. Once that is done he will compare the two maps and get ready to move forward towards the statue to see it for himself.
Zork is most amazed at the kindness of Theaton towards Grizzly and says to him, "I owe you friend..."
He then plays with Grizzly, happy to see him well again and continuing to attend to his needs until he is 100%.
Putting the wound paste away I state, "Apparently my medicine to stop bleeding was not needed. Always remember that if someone is bleeding out I carry this paste in my bag to seal the wounds. While it doesn't heal it can be quite the lifesaver from what I understand. Neither Caelum nor I are skilled in healing, but we can attempt to assist someone who is in tending to the animals."
White Fang is mostly healed except for some scratches which will heal overnight.
Grizzly's wounds are all closed up and he's running around and playing as though nothing had happened.
Apart from the items in the nest, there are animal bones and a few carcasses in varying states of decay. There are even owl and crow bodies, no doubt killed by surprise.
Since it is still early in the day and the dog and wolf are much better, are we continuing onwards directly for the statue? I have a vote yes from Theaton.
I'll also take 2 perception checks from those who didn't roll it yet.
