[pnpgm] Kiet after combat

[David Sanders]

After the combat, Kiet happily walks around to check on these weird bird/horse creatures to make certain they stay dead.  He's, of course, heard of such things but hasn't seen them in real life before.  Then he spends some time checking his horses and calming them down a bit.  They, after all, were likely the intended main course for breakfast today!

Speaking of which, Kiet idly wonders if the creatures taste like chicken...they could all use some fresh meat, and some of it is already cooked!

Kiet will then check on Kell, seeing to his wound.  If Kiet is needed, he will grab the bag with his healing kit, go over to him and start bandaging as best he can.  He looks at his friend and says "Your left arm, again...?"  Kiet just shakes his head and starts bandaging.  While doing so, he says with a wry smile "You know, if we just amputate at your armpit, you will never be hit again.  You would be invincible!"

Kiet stops and considers his efforts for the morning.  He personally severely hit or killed four of these things.  Those javelin throws were near perfect, and his personal plan of attack worked out better than he hoped.  With the exception of that spell...the Iron Skin doesn't seem to have activated, but it also wasn't needed this time.  Evidently fortune favors the well prepared.  He still can't believe Kell got hit in that same arm again!

Kiet searches around for his javelins, cleaning them and checking them for damage.  They are pretty nice to have, even if the source of them is a total control freak.  He shudders at the thought of ever having to go back to the Dark Lands and their ruler.  Fortunately, that seems unlikely.  Kiet wanders over to one of the dead Hippogriffs and uses its tail to clean off the javelins.  The one not still attached to the creature is pretty messy, and takes a second tail to clean it.  

Kiet gets an idea, though, at this time.  He looks around and gathers a few feathers and cuts off a handful of clean tail hair from the dead.  He has some idea for what he might use it for in the future.  Always remember the Laws of Magic.  He puts them away in a small sack and stores it on his spare horse.  Always consider the future, but stay in the present.

"So...what do you folks think?  I was thinking we should at least drag these...these 'things' off the road.  I don't plan on burying them, however.  Also, those of you short on rations...might just consider what we now have before us."  Kiet smiles again and says "And, this is about as fresh as you are gonna get!"
