From Create Your Own Story

Kaleb's interesting, but you should probably patch up his wounded comrades before making any idle chit-chat with him. You quickly take off the crude bandages and look at the damage.

one of the mercs was hit by an arrow, part of the arrow is still stuck inside his leg, it probably broke off when he tried to pull it out. Nasty wound, with this level of treatment he'd have probably lost that leg. You ask for a knife and take off the small metal clasp holding your dress together. Luckily the clasp is just long enough to wedge it behind the arrowhead, so you manage to slowly work the remainders of the arrow out of the leg without causing too much damage. Which doesn't mean you don't get the merc to scream like a little girl while you're at it. Sadly, the clasp is too badly damaged in the process to be worn again, so you just try to keep the front of your dress closed manually.

After you cleaned it and disinfected it with alcohol, you bandage the wound up again. "The rest will heal on its own, just give it a few weeks of rest"

The second merc had his shoulder dislocated, from the look of it, they'd tried to get his shoulder back in by themselves but only made it worse, it doesn't take you long to set it right tho.

The third merc was hit on the head with a mace or something blunt. If it hadn't been for the helmet he was wearing, he'd probably have died then and there, but his helmet shattered and the broken metal pierced his head. It looks pretty ugly and he can't take it off without tearing off half his face as well. You carefully observe how its lodged into his head, doesn't seem like there's any real damage, just a flesh wound. Getting it off is another matter tho.. after thinking for a while, you decide to break off the helmet would work best.

"Rather than a doctor, you should probably get a smith to break that helmet off for you. There's a capable smith not far from here, I'm sure he'll help you if you tell him Saya sent you" with that, a couple of the mercs accompany him to the local smith. They'll be alright without you.


The last merc doesn't look too badly injured, untill you notice that his left arm is paralyzed. An unlucky sword slash cut clean trough the tendon. You disinfect the wound and patch it up to the best of your ability, but that arm probably won't be able to move again.

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing to be done about that arm, the tendon's cut off completely. It could heal on its own, but it'd be a miracle if you could ever even lift that arm again. Let alone use it in combat" you deliver the bad news with a sigh and the merc looks down at his arm with a pained expression, clearly he had been expecting this, but you just shattered any remaining hope. Then again.. "A capable mage could probably heal it" you blurt out as the idea forms in your head. Then you realize these guys would never be able to get any half-decent mage to even look at it. You know a few mages in your father's service tho..

Arrange for them to meet with a nearby mage you know

Just look down, you don't get along with mages that well either
