[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Quick Flash Forward

By the time Nathan reaches camp, Kirlia's having to lean pretty heavily on Nathan's arm for support.  The poison might not have lingered, but that wound still looked pretty nasty.

All Nathan says to Ventus's (probable) shock and worry is, "Skorupi with Poison Fang and Venoshock.  In the tent.  We can talk there."

Nathan's primary concern right now is Kirlia.  Other topics could wait for a little bit.

Flash Forward!

After unearthing whatever he and Lucifer could discover, Ventus made his back to camp to await his friends to return, taking some flint and steel to start tonight's fire. Nathan and Kirlia's arrival brought a smile to the researcher's face....until he saw the condition the young dancer and heard what caused it: severe Poison Damage. Once the shock of the Kirlia's state of duress wore of, his serenity was replaced with a stoic yet somehow still angry expression, and he nodded his head and told them: "Understood. *Digs around his satchel to pull out a roll of sterile bandages and a clean towlet, then hands them to Nate* Take these to clean and wrap the wound up, and I'll boil some water so that we can clean it thoroughly."

A quick trip to the river and a few minutes of flash boiling a pot of water with Hanael later, the empath entered the tent and went over to were Nathan and Kirlia were at, and proceeded to undo the bandages, soaked another towlet in the hot water, before carefully/gently cleaning, checking, and re-wrapping the ugly Poison Fang. Then, and only then, did Ven turn to around to address the boy, looking at them with a calm that belayed the wrath he was fiercely clamping down upon, in order to not cause a scene. "Where is the Skorupi at, Nate? A creature that insidious shouldn't be left alone to corrode the life any other unfortunate individual away, let alone having to encounter it in the first place. Apsis certainly be more than willing to help remove the threat the bug poses permenantly, as would I."
