[pnpgm] Game Update #56 - File #496 - Monk final combat phases

[Chris & Karen Wells]

Ben'Dar is in a black mood after the fight.  He doesn't ride back to the
wagon but rather sits down where he is is and inspects the damage to
Tef'wo's hooves.  He slowly walks the big black horse back to the wagon.
During the discussion about what to do that night, he says bluntly, "The
horses need healing and rest.  They should not move any further today."
Later that evening, when things have calmed down, Ben'Dar wanders around in
the prairie, looking for certain herbs that grow on the plains.  He uses his
skills in horsemanship and horse husbandry to make potent poultices and he
applies them to the hurt hooves of the injured horses.  (not sure anymore,
but I think combined EL at healing horses from those other skills is 9 or
10?)

After Tiehul's speech, Ben'Dar snarls angrily and leaps on the man on the
ground (not Tiehul but his second in command).  He digs his knee hard into
the man's back, forcing him face-down in the dirt.  Grasping the man's hair,
he jerks the head's back and with deliberate sawing motions, he cuts off the
man's scalp with his dagger.  He stays there for a moment, letting the blood
from the man's scalp drip into his eyes and on his face.  He leans down
close to the man.  "Was it worth it?" he growls.  Then Ben'Dar slits the
man's throat.  Rising, he hurls the bloody scalp at Tiehul.  "We will keep
your horses.  Begone!"
