Lisa shuddered. "I hadn't seen the faces," she said. "Yes, we should probably leave as soon as possible. But changing bandages shouldn't take that much time, we can just do it every morning and evening when we break or make up camp. If we run out of bandages we can just clean the old ones. Besides, the main thing is making sure the wound stays closed and that it stays clean. We'll need to take time to boil water anyway, if we want to prevent dysentery at least." She looked at Lizanne. "Using the curtains is a good idea," she said. "It would be a good idea to safe some of them though, and use them to make rope and a stretcher. Carrying her by hand will be difficult while also increasing the chance of making the wound worse." She looked at Hellbent. "If possible it might be better if you don't carry her," she said. "You're the only one with an actual weapon, if something happens then you won't be able to use it without dropping her." She stood up. "Anyway, talking about this won't help that much, we should get started getting everything ready. I think it's probably best to start by separating the alcohol from the wine, so we can clean the wound and sterilize everything.

Lisa thought, trying hard to remember the few medical lectures and EHBO courses she had attended at the university. "First disinfect the wound, alcohol works, though I'd suggest not using wine, but distilling the alcohol from it first, since it's purer. Clean it with boiled water as well. If you have any cloth for bandages you should put them in the boiling water as well to sterilize them. After cleaning and disinfecting the wound make sure it's shut, and that it isn't bleeding, or at least not bleeding heavily. After that, bandage the wound, change bandages every twelve hours, and make sure the wound isn't getting infected. Cauterization should only be used as an absolute last resort to stop heavy bleeding." She paused for a bit. "Also, make sure everything you use has been boiled first, and that you wash your hands before touching anything, healing a cut isn't that difficult I think, the issue is stopping infections, which means keeping everything clean and sterilized. It would be great if we had antibiotics as well, but I haven't seen anything looking like medicine in these ruins." Internally she shuddered, hoping she had gotten everything right.
-
Cauterization? Lisa shuddered at the thought. "Is it bleeding that badly?" She asked. "What are you using to burn it shut?"
-
Lisa looked to the side. "Alcohol would make the fire larger," she said, "but it'll only last for about ten seconds before it is all burned up, and while it is burning the fire will be way too large. It's better to start with a small fire and simply slowly increase the size of the wood you put on it. Use small bits of dry wood first, and once that is burning add larger pieces around it, while making sure that air can flow through everything easily." She paused. "But why do you need the fire anyway?" She asked.
-
Lisa looked around in the debris, and took a longer piece of wood. After seeing that it was sturdy enough she went upstairs, and sat down near to where Wilhelm and Lizanne were working. Taking a small pocket-knife from her coat she started trying to sharpen the point.

"What kind of bartender would I be if I didn't have scotch? How old do you want?" Malu asked. "Don't care," she said. "Just give me something that tastes good."
-
Lilia tilted her head, wondering what just happened. She shrugged. "So," she said, "what are we going to do now? Kill it?"
-
-
Fragarach walked through the door, ignoring any potential Yetis outside. She sat down at the bar. "Got any Scotch?" She asked the bartender.
-
"Lets go in the morning," Lisa said. "I don't want to walk around here at night and break a leg falling in a ditch because I couldn't see anything." She shivered. "I've got no clue how dark it'll become here, but I don't think a small lantern will help that much. Besides, even if it allows us to walk around safely it'll also ruin our night-vision so we can only see a small distance, while also letting everything dangerous know where we are."
-
So is the creature that is currently talking to everyone some kind of central nexus? Also, given Lilia's abilities regarding interacting with and damaging spirits, what would happen if she decides to stab it? Since if it's the actual spirit we're talking too it would probably manifest as a physical wound, but if it's just part of the creature, like a puppet it is using to talk to us, it might destroy the puppet and possibly hurt it but I don't think it would kill it.
-
Lilia walked up to the shadow creature, studying it, walking around it. "Huh," she said, sounding curious. "For how long have you been down here?"
-
Lisa took a deep breath, trying to pull herself together and focus. Come on, she thought to herself, this isn't the first time you're stranded in a different world. Besides, it isn't as if this place can be any more dangerous than the Alleycity, right? "I'm not sure how late it is, but it might be better to try and stay here today," she said. "I think there is still a fair amount of food in the cellar, so we don't have to go foraging for now, and it might be better to try and make some basic tools before going out exploring. If we leave in the early morning we'll also have more time to explore tomorrow, I don't think we want to be out in the forrest when it is dark. Since we can probably afford to miss half a day of exploration, given that we already have some supplies, I'd like to be fully prepared once we actually start exploring."
-
That was basically what I meant, that after arriving the people who first came there as well as the Fair Folk would have build at least something of a civilization. Also, to which degree are the Fair Folk still around, and how much do people know about them?
-
"I think it was what got us here," she said softly. "And now that it is broken..." she paused, trying to avoid panicking.
-
Sounds interesting. How much of their original things are still around though? I'm guessing that they needed to have at least some form of civilization, so did that all get destroyed or are there still lost ruins in the world? Also, how many artifacts and hidden magical things would still be lying around?
-
Lisa got onto her feet, still unsteady from the scream. She nodded to Lizanne. "Sorry about that," she said, "I expected it to be a bit more dangerous than just the noise." She looked towards the remnants of the orb, and the structure around it. "What was that thing anyway?" she asked. Looking at everything her face suddenly darkened as she started to realize what it had been. "Oh no," she muttered, sounding shocked, "this isn't good."
-
Lilia nodded, still shaken from the attack. "For how long has that thing been here?" she asked.
-
"Alright," Kumiko replied, stepping up next to her. Suddenly realizing something she lifted her head. "I'm Kumiko, by the way, Takamine Kumiko, an Epic. Sorry for not introducing myself earlier."

Lisa heard Lizanne call out to her, and walked up to her. "Hey," she said, "are you alright?" Just as she reached her she saw Hellbent stab at the glowing orb. "Oh for...", she started, jumping towards Lizanne, tackling her to the ground, trying to avoid the inevitable explosion.
-
Lisa slowly got up from behind the wall she was hiding behind, still shaken from all the noise. Slowly she started walking towards the center of the building, looking at the source of the white light. Keeping her distance, she started looking around for the others, hoping that everyone was alright.
-
Kumiko walked up to Okame and Lita, switching to Fox form. "Hey," she said, raising her hand, "Are we heading back?"

So here's a list of all the characters, since I got really annoyed with having to go through the whole thread every time. Also, can someone (@Voidus) add them to the OP?
