Princess Aden sent Harper to the next village for a Medical Mage. We made him as comfortable as we could. The thigh wound was a thru and thru but both shoulder wounds the barb was still inside.
An hour later Harper had returned to report that a cart was on the way. Another hour and the cart arrived pulled by a massive bovine creature with a horn span of near 6 feet. Linda the White Had been practicing and she erected The Black’s tent on the bed of the cart. He was gently picked up and placed in his bed.
Grubber inspected the wounds and announced that the thigh wound was no problem and he cut off the arrow head and pulled the shaft thru the thigh. He wrapped a piece of gauze around a thin instrument and covered the gauze with a powder. He pushed this into the wound and twisted it around. He repeated this action on the other side of the thigh. He stopped the bleeding and bandaged the wound before announcing that that the shoulder wound was beyond his capabilities. He cut off both the shafts and bandaged around them. He said the Chief Medical Mage would have to be called in for this wound.
Slinky was dispatched to Castle Phanx the home of Chief Medical Mage Bonzz. She should arrive at the village soon after Our Party. I was told to stay in bed a rest.
The Village of TowBridge
It seemed to take for ever to arrive in Towbridge. It was a quaint little Village of two streets one on either side of the river. Each side had an Inn and a variety of shops all centered around the toll Bridge. Before the bridge had been built this had been the Village of Tow and centered around the ferry that was towed back and forth across the river… Then the Baron Phanx had built the bridge. The Baron was fair he only accepted 10 % of the Toll But demanded the village be renamed to reflect the installation of the Bridge.
The Inns were equal in size and service. It just depended which side of the River one wished to stay. The Medical office was on the right bank so we did not have to cross as yet. The Medical office had only one bed
I was put to bed there and the rest of the party, except for Slinky who refused to leave me, departed to the nearest Inn.
Three hours later the Chief Medical Mage arrived and I was moved to the examining/operating table. She identified her self and I was lost in the pool of the incandescence of her liquidity green eyes, her face was slightly oval in shape crowned with an abundance of a rusty shade of red hair. Her neck was smooth with a few freckles extending into her cleavage. She had sensuous shoulders that I could visualize lingerie hang from them. Her breast though not overly large drew my eyes the nipples were hard and pointed which was evident through her flimsy robe. I could only guess at her hips which was obstructed by the table. Then she placed her hand on my brow … and I was out.
