<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First of all Kiet goes around the battlefield
inspecting the dead and making sure they are so, with additional thrusts of his
dagger to spur on any hangers on. Kiet then will round up the ropes/lassos
and evaluate them...if any are substandard they can be discarded. He will
use any leftover ones to truss up our only survivor, hands behind back and feet,
with feet tied such that his knees are bent and there is a rope feet to
hands. He ain't goin' nowhere.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kiet will then help others bind wounds, his own,
etc. He notices that he can handle a dagger just a bit better than before
(heehee - like that +1EL).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He'll then help gather the weapons, the caltrops,
and the monks clothing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kiet hears the talk about the new danger of
discovery we are in. He doesn't buy it. "Look...we are a protected
noble on our way to the capitol. We were attacked and only the incredible
foresight of our patron Noble saved both him and his family from kidknapping and
possible death. He wisely provided for himself a strong party that would
protect him and his own. I see nothing to fear from the authorities nor
their questions. Even the blood in the wagon can be explained, and
TRUTHFULLY, that it is merely the spilled blood of an unsuccessful
reaver."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Oh, yeah...and Raban...I intend to NEVER give you
cause to take a swing at me...."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"I would remind everyone that these scum were not
trying to kill, merely to steal and subdue. That doesn't change their
punishment, but I wonder, then, where they come from and if they are part of
something bigger. We have seen lots of these monks...are there more of
these guys disguised heading into towns, infiltrating, that the
authorities in those towns might appreciate being told about it or at least be
on the lookout?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kiet wil also refuse any magical healing, though
would appreciate the ministrations from a real healer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"I think it wise to get the horses healed
magically, however...we need to move out."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If we pile the bodies on the side of the road and
make a sign (using grass material for brush, their blood for ink, and a monk's
clothing for the sign) we could just put on them a sign that says 'raiders' in
Katai. Kiet could write that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After Tiehul and company arrive, Kiet quietly goes
around to the other party members asking them if they have any truth magic that
can be used to determine whether or not Tiehul is telling the truth...did he
betray us or did the other guy?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When Kiet sees Ben'dar reaching to grab a dagger
with which he wants to kill the alleged offender, he says "Ben'dar! Don't
kill him! Not yet anyway."</FONT></DIV>
