So it was that Telryn and Detheriel burst up from their meal, the former having finished his while the latter had not, leaving behind an incredulous Isokla, who folded her arms across her chest and managed to look very put out and quite indignant in fact.

Most annoyed that Detheriel had charged off and Ydalon was nowhere in sight, she hoisted her robes and hurried after the two…

~~~

Upon bursting out to Nivram’s position, the trio immediately spotted the bandits. There were three left, though one was dying. Nivram was wounded but Zak – Zak was almost dead. Nothing but the most instant of magical healing would save him now. His attempt to yell occurred as the three joined Nivram, and was not so much a yell as a barely audible croak.

Fortunately for our intrepid ‘heroes’, the sight of a most irritated and scowling Isokla who was apparently unarmed, though her eyes shone with ire, Telryn and his flail and Detheriel’s notched arrow and bow joining Nivram was enough to deter the wounded archer who decided that discretion was the better part of valour, and stumbled away more quickly than he had arrived, still wounded.

The other two were not quite as smart. The one that Nivram had struck had already pulled his dagger out of his stomach and was already bleeding to death. Still berserk, his movements were growing weaker and by the time he had reached the party, he fell all too easily to Telryn’s more experienced flail without landing a single blow. The last remaining bandit would fall to Nivram’s knives and Detheriel’s arrow long before he could reach any of them, should they choose to target him.

Meanwhile…

Isokla knelt beside the fallen Zakaria, distaste strong on her features. Seizing him but not ungently by the jaw, she clinically examined him with the cool detachment of a healer, she looked up at Nivram and Detheriel, knowing Telryn was too busy.

“This is beyond my skills. I can do nothing for him except ease his passing. He is already lost to us unless either one of you is a master of the healing arts. Mundane means will not save him. He is already passing through the veil.” She shook her head, her eyes holding a hint of regret. “It is tragic,” she sighed sincerely, speaking as though Zak was already dead, “Such needless loss…”

Whatever her private thoughts were, she did not voice them.

---
OOC: To recap: there is a single bandit left, and Zak hovers on the verge of death - he will bleed to death in less than a minute, game time.
There is a single bandit left - the other surviving one is wounded and has run off.
Nivram is wounded.
Ydalon is nowhere in sight and Telryn and Detheriel have rushed to the scene to aid Nivram in the fight. Isokla followed begrudingly and is beside Zak in his possible final moments.
