-----Sarah tells her, "It is very important to search the enemy after a battle for many reasons. Therefore I would like you to carefully search the body of this one eyed orc and present your findings to me."
-----With an excited expression, the gnome turns toward the body and says, "At once, Mistress!"
-----Sarah then moves down the stairs calling for Garrison who is still watching the horses in the rain. The woodsman soon stiffly strides in.
-----Sarah gives Garrison one of the healing potions. "Here, drink this." She says. She gives the other one to Sol. "This is a healing potion." She says.
-----Garrison takes the potion and drinks. Very quickly his color improves and there seems less bleeding around his bandages. Even though he still looks hurt, his breathing is easier as he tells Sarah, "Thank you much. I can help out more in here if you need me."
-----Sol shrugs as he pops open the vial and downs the contents in one motion. "Thanks." He says as he dumps the vial on the ground and resumes his search. As he stoops down, his scratches disappear and his face loses its reddened burnt appearance.
-----Garrison tells the party, "I've got Strolum, Dilton and Pil watching the horses out front. They came in through the gate while Caranip and I were out there. Strolum's pretty wounded."
-----Lovan descends the stairs curiously chuckling. As he moves, he kicks at some of the lesser orcish bodies that lie in his way. Looking down at where Raven and Sol are searching, he says to the young warrior, "That symbol of yours looks lighter."
-----Rinda stands off to the side of the two warriors watching one of the passages that some of the orcs fled into.
-----"Mistress!" Caranip suddenly shouts happily as she waves something that looks like a scroll case in the air. "Look what I found! I think this shield needs looking at too." The gnomish girl still stands toward the top of the stairs, but her voice carries throughout the large chamber.
-----"Here, you guys will probably need these sooner than I will." Sarah gives one each of the remaining two pink potions to Sol and Raven. "These are healing potions." She informs them and then runs over to where Caranip has the scroll.
-----"Let me see! Let me see!" She says like an excited little girl and rips open the scroll case like a birthday present.
-----Raven pockets the healing potion, "Thank you Sarah. I'll save it for the near future I'm sure." Raven returns his eyes to searching the dead leader, "Nice platemail, either the group should use this or we should bury it. The same goes for the shield. Nice equipment, I don't want it to fall back into the orcs' hands."
-----Raven shakes his head, "I'm thankful that he went down quickly." Raven reaches his hand into one of the leader pouches, "Hey Sarah! Got a scroll." He then offers the scroll to Sol to give to Sarah.
-----"Here's another." Sol comments as he walks back up to Sarah with the scroll, sheathed in black leather. He hands it over before heading back down to the half-orc's body with Raven. To the hunter, he suggests, "Let's get that armour off. It'll go quicker if we both work on th' straps."
-----As he starts unbuckling the plate suit, the Stormbringer looks over to Garrison and asks, "Hey Garrison, maybe a suit o'plate would help ye?"
-----When Lovan comments on Sol's symbol, the Gorian tries to look at it hanging from his neck, and eventually reaches down to try and test its weight. He then replies, "Wait, do ye mean light, heavy, or light, dark?"
-----"Exactly!" is the only enthusiastic response that Lovan answers Sol with. The storm priest then walks toward the opening and peers out at the rain.
-----Garrison smiles and says to the young warrior, "Thanks, but that looks a bit bulky for me. That plate would be better over your chain mail."
-----Lovan immediately swings around toward Sol. "He's right," he says, pointing his warhammer at the Gorian, "You should take it."
-----By now, Sarah is looking over the first scroll as Caranip prances a bit joyfully.
-----A disappointed groan leaves Sarah's mouth as she finishes the first scroll. "Here Rinda." She hands the scroll to the priestess. "Maybe you can use....another one!!!" Sarah snatches the second scroll out of Sol's hands and glances over it.
-----Sarah is too distracted by magic to comment, but if she was aware she would urge Sol to wear as much armor as possible!
-----Still working on the catches, Sol looks to Raven, "If everyone thinks so, I'll try th' bastard's suit of plate on, but I admit, I'm a bit wary. Plate's damn heavy, an' I used t'having a fair bit o' freedom o' movement. In that case, Raven, will ye help me try it on?"
