Illos! Pull her back here, quickly!

...Here, Priest Fullbright...

Well, not the best start. We've confirmed they're hostile. What now?

Sky and I are stopping the bleeding from the wound, but she needs more permanent medical treatment. Arntta or Merric can stop it fully, but cauterizing the wound will hurt.

You are absolutely not in any condition now to fight, Abbot. The shot missed anything critical, but moving that arm will be painful, until you get permanent care, and actual medicine.

Nnggh... As long as I'll stay up from your magicks, I'm going to fight...

Our magick can only stop the bleeding and keep you moving. As bad an idea as it is, you could fight, but the next shot might not be so lucky to miss important parts.

That shot wasn't luck. That was intentional.

Whoever our guest is, they are a skilled fighter, and they wanted to send a message the abbot wasn't welcome to follow them.

Abbot, you need a chirurgeon. These wounds need to be sealed more permanently, or you will lose the use of your arm. Please.

Urgh...

You're right, I know you're right.

You four are more built for fighting than anyone else here, anyway.

Alright. You four have my permission to enter the inner parts of the temple.

Stop them. Make them pay.

I'll help the abbot out, and get her to medical care.

Please, Priest, everyone, stay safe.

Right. Dia, shield our entry, in case whoever it is fires again. K'sarian, Lum, we'll advance behind Dia.

We will stop them, Abbot. I promise you.
