OODM: The check that Salix did on the body would have been a heal check.

Sorry about that.

Subject The body,pt 2

Surin chafes somewhat at Ran's command--he isn't used to taking orders, and doesn't particularly care for it. For the moment, though, he holds his tongue, doing as Ran said. If whatever this man was running from came charging into the valley, he have no particular desire to be in the front ranks.

OOC: Guys, I'm afraid that I'm going to be out of email contact for at least two weeks, and possibly longer, starting tomorrow afternoon. It would probably be a good idea to have someone else run Surin in my absence--I don't want to slow the game down. I know that Nate Novak was asking about playing, and he strikes me as a good choice, but of course this is up to Mark.

ooc- Mark, is there? I have a couple of heal prayers ready, (light and moderate, I think) but would those help in a case of exhaustion?)

Subject The Body, pt 2

Salix approaches the body and quickly checks him for serious wounds. While the unfortunate man does not appear to have been wounded, he is exhausted and appears to have been running for quite some time. Salix kneels beside the man and can hear him mumbling in a familiar accent. "I believe he is from Mnuhl." Salix rolls the man over gently, cradling the man's head in his right arm, his back resting on Salix's legs. Where the man had lain, lay a plump rabbit, freshly killed. It was a little crushed from the weight of the man, but was otherwise intact, if dead. Salix picks up the rabbit by one leg and holds it out in Cai's direction. "I believe this belongs to Grey."

"He appears to have collapsed from exhaustion," Salix advises Ran. "He must have been running for quite some time."

"Is there anything you can do to revive him quickly that we may know what he was running from?" Ran asks.

"Unfortunately, I did not anticipate fatigue and exhaustion. While I may be able to help him in the morning, I am unable to relieve either of those issues for him quickly."

"Can you hear me?" Salix asks the man, shaking him gently and tapping his face lightly with his free hand. "Ran, please send someone to the horses for a waterskin. Maybe we can revive him enough to speak. And maybe Harp and one of the rangers should should scout ahead and check for someone or something in pursuit." Before Ran can reply or convey the orders, Salix will add, "If there isn't and immediate danger, we should considering making camp here. He is in no condition to travel."

(OOC - assuming someone brings water, Salix will splash a little on the man's face and continue tapping him lightly to try and bring him around. If he comes to enough to drink without choking, Salix will give him as much water as he will drink. If he can be revived enough to speak, Salix will ask him his name, where he is from, and what on earth he was running from.)

Subject spells/prayers

There is a spell that can be used, it is called lesser restoration. You would have to spend time gaining that spell and it would not get rid of all of the effects. But a little time and that spell would probably work.
