Ravoneth will hurry to the platform and give the man whatever succor he needs. If he has thirst, she'll spare him her water. Otherwise, she'll do what she can to bandage the worst of his physical wounds and then see to his spiritual ones.

Hermia follows Ravoneth to keep an eye on her. Even if they suffered some kind of catastrophe down there, she's still suspicious of the Band of the Hand and doesn't want Ravoneth to be caught by surprise. Mae stays behind to discuss the next approach with the others, though, having not been down herself, she is more interested in asking questions than putting forth her opinion.

Oypeen follows behind Ravoneth both to protect her back as well as to watch to see if this new and unknown member of our band would be taking any messages or items from the injured Hand member. While he is there he'll also look over the hand member to see what kind of injuries he has recieved .. weapons, talons, teeth, burns, broken bones. etc.

Ravoneth and Hermia arrive at the stricken man shortly before Opyeen. All three can see the grievous wounds the man has suffered. The Adept quickly begins trying to stem the flow of blood but the ragged and torn edges of the wounds makes that an all but impossible task. Looking closely the wounds appear to have been made by jagged or serrated weapons wielded with more force than finesse. Some of his ribs and a few other bones have been shattered by powerful impacts. His clothes or what's left of them are soaked with blood, not all of it his own, and splattered with gore. The once functional leather of his chosen armor is now ruined and in tatters where it failed him when he needed it most.

He is quickly bleeding out and nothing save divine intervention or magic will stop his leaving this mortal realm for the next unknown.

Hermia, deciding he's no threat in this state, runs to get Giovanni.

Leaning close, Ravoneth whispers "I don't know if we can save you, but I will carry a message to your kin if you wish."

At Ravoneths words the man smiles a bit and through bloodied lips tries to speak. Light pink froth comes from his mouth, a sure sign of a punctured lung or more serious internal damage. When he realizes he can't speak with no clear breath he lays back upon the platform. Tears of defeat run from the corners of his eyes and mix with the blood upon his face.

Hermia charges through the crowd towards the resident CoS cleric. On the way she catches sight of a dwarf in full plate adorned with a dwarven holy symbol upon the chest piece superimposed by a shadowed hand shouldering his way towards the platform. His determined stare, stance and movement indicates that he will reach the stricken man before the halfling can reach Giovanni and return with the CoS healer.

Hermia keeps up the pace, trusting Oypeen and Ravoneth to keep an eye on the fallen man, in too much of a hurry to decide for sure if he means to put the survivor out of his misery and think of a distraction if so.
