Hmm...

I knew we forgot something. As far as I know, none of the Wulfham group has skills as a healer. My character Dorran who works in the stables has had a lot of experience treating injured horses but nothing with people. If we're desperate, he is probably able to search for herbs and make a 'poultice' for wounds. But if someone else has healing experience with human beings, please pipe up.

I'm not even sure if the other group has a healer. I remember Undómë's carry along character also had experience treating animals but I can't think of anyone else.....

Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.

Eowyn

Just to clarify - Meghan's brother, Leof, sent Rædwald to look after her. Leof is back at the village with his wife, babies, and mother.

I think I'll have Rædwald hit the sack - so, if Eostre wants to take the watch, that would be great.

About healing skills:

All of us should have some degree of healing skills. Households in such a village as we've come from did most of their own doctoring - so, and I hate to be sexist here, but the girls should have picked up some skills from mothers or aunts or grannies or any female relatives. There should be 'cures' handed down through the generations for fevers, and cuts, poultices, etc.

And any of us who are animal workers - Dorran with his horses and Brand with his sheep flock will have some medical skill. Much of what can be done for an animal can be done for a human, too.

About Brand's wounds - water boiled with a little salt and then allowed to cool to clean them; willowbark tea for pain; and a nice salve of comfrey, marigold, and beeswax (which you might find in Brand's pack - he's brought some remedies along he's used on his flocks - in a small wooden box).

Thanks, Arry! So thoughtful of Brand as well to being along the salve.

Valier, Dorran is well enough to bandage his own ankle and can take care of Lady. Do you want to tend to Brand?

Well everyones back at camp. I left it fairly open so do what you guys will and I will join again in a few posts.

I did put forwards a post where Sythric had nightmares and needed some company to get rid of them. So the one of you, who will in the end take the night-guard, should perceive Sythric's approach and go on with that one.

Sorry to have rushed forward in this manner, but I thought this a good chance for building Sythric's character a little & getting him to interact with one of you others before the daybreak. The reason for my haste being the fear, that someone would write us to the morning in the next post...

Nogrod · 02-23-2006, 11:19 AM

PS. to the earlier one. Whoever takes the guard, feel free to use Sythric f.ex. asking how the day went, or what is the general feeling of the group / the guard him/herself. Those are kind of things Sythric would be asking - and you can go on making a post without waiting for me to do any questioning of that kind...
