Thothalas finished dragging the limp form of Ral close to where he'd left the Adventurer. The poor priest almost looked as bad as Dan though not well-done."Dan," asked the mage, speaking slowly to penetrate the fog of pain and sedative, "do you know who the Regulators took? I can't find Ashleyien, Alexia, or Dawn. And who was that new voice we heard before and during the attack? If there is somebody out there besides Regulators, I'd hate to blast the wrong guy. And," he added with forced bravado, "I'm in a blasting mood.
"Adventurer, I know that you are hurt very badly. But... but I think we can't play this by the Regulators time-table. The more time they have the stronger the trap will be. And there will be a trap as I think you know. I might be able to mix together a few herbs to help your pain and strengthen you. I'm sorry but magical healing is beyond my ability, but I do have a spell that can double your strength and lifeforce during combat. Afterwards, well... there is a price afterwards. You will be as weak as a kitten. As for myself, I... I've found some... extra reserve of power.
"If only we could find the others!"
Frustrated, he continued to dig through his satchel trying to find some sleeping salts for Ral. Heck, if the stench of the swamp didn't wake the priest, sleeping salts didn't have much of a chance.
