The spell Nivram cast was unseen by any, undetected by all and its visual effects were minimal. However, it served its purpose in stabilising him – and though he hovered on the verge of death, he would not fall to being lungshot. He could still easily die though.

~~~

Isokla’s blue eyes narrowed in suspicion, first at Zakaria suddenly reacting to a spell, and then at Nivram passing out with a thud after touching his neck. It had to have been a very powerful spell to still him like that. Especially since there were no visible effects.

Aloud, the girl said – while Telryn and Detheriel were busy interrogating the bandit (OOC: I will get to that soon), “Zakaria, while I cannot heal you, I can give you something for the pain.”

She ignored the newly awoken Eruwin for now, all save for her inward thought of ‘He will make an interesting replacement, I believe.’

“Here, sip this.” Isokla administered to the fallen Zakaria – and although, he had stabilised, she was not pleased with how. There was no way she could have not have known, but with everyone distracted, instead, she tended to him, and pulling out a herb from a pouch, she commanded firmly, “Here, chew on this.”

She did not give him a choice, but placed the dried herb in his mouth and poured a measure of water from Zak’s own waterskin into his mouth. What she gave him was a sedative, but in too large a quantity, was also a deadly poison. It was non-detectable, and quite common actually, if one knew where to look. It would ease his pain a great deal though… and so, Zakaria slipped into dark oblivion as Isokla held his throat and forced him to swallow.

When she looked up, Zakaria was dead.

~~~

There were was no pity in her eyes, but there was a resigned light as she stepped up from him and announced quietly, “He has left us, as I said he would. He died a tragic, needless, but noble, and we would do well to honour his memory. We should look to the living however. First and foremost, they come first. Nivram is injured – I will attend him. See to your prisoner.” Isokla’s voice was bitter as she called over to Detheriel and Telryn, and knelt beside Nivram. Examining his wounds, she pulled out bandages from her satchel, soaked them in water from her second waterskin and poured alcohol over them. Then she pressed several herbs to it and bound his wounds after inspecting him.

Busying herself with keeping her patient alive, she was unaware of Ydalon’s imminent arrival…

~~~

The bandit sneered at Telryn, “Questions? Speak your questions.” he spat, “for all the good it will do you outlaws. The Lords shall have you! I may fall, my brothers may fall, but our numbers are many! You cannot defeat all of us! And when they learn what you have done, they shall summon their full might and our armies shall haunt you! They shall tear you down, one by one, and when the last of you are surrounded, they shall impale you before the crowds!” his eyes were alight with zeal – it was clear he was a fanatic, “We should wipe your lawlessness from this world! Yours and all those like you! We shall return order and prepare the way for the Master! Only He is fit to rule this world! And He shall return! You shall all fall! The Lords of Vision have spoken! Your chaos shall be turned aside and your tide of darkness pushed back! In His wake, all shall rejoice!”

He panted, out of breath from his zealous speech. At Isokla’s words, he beamed, “Already one of you has fallen to righteous justice! It shall only be a matter of time before the rest of you do!”

At Ydalon’s approach, he seemed to pause, perhaps recognising him. He fell quiet.
