One of them is. The other, semi-conscious one looks like a teenage male.
He isn't doing very well, and it might take a great deal of healing to get him conscious again.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 220):

In that case Christine will ask Emma to heal the girl/lady.

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 221):

Emma will begrudgingly heal her...

In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 222):

"Ugh, that hurts... less"

In reply to Bandit (msg # 223):

"Feeling more cooperative now? What were you doing with these idiots?"

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 224):

"They are...were my kin."

In reply to Bandit (msg # 225):

"They were acting like idiots all the same. Do you know him?"

She indicates the other prisoner with her head.

Masugatan picks some dirt from beneath his thumbnails.

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 226):

"He is a cousin, from my village. His name is Jean."


Jean is unconscious and pale and sweating.

In reply to Bandit (msg # 228):

"Right. Family of thieves. Why should we spare you?"

The bandit blinks
"Um, because your priestess' god will be angry if you wasted healing on me and then killed me?"




successful fast talk roll there

In reply to Bandit (msg # 230):

"Nice try. The healing was for information, not necessarily saving your lives. Next suggestion?"

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 231):

"I never actually hurt anyone of you. You killed those who did."

Masugatan grins, enjoying the back and forth.

In reply to Bandit (msg # 232):

"Not for lack of trying. So you are just an incompetent thief?"

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 234):

"None of us have ever been anything than poor."

In reply to Bandit (msg # 235):

"You never used those same skills to hunt game? Poor starts in your thinking..."

The sisters listen from a few steps away, expressions of concern on their faces.

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 236):

"You don't have to be a good shot to startle someone to drop their purse.  You need to be very good to hunt game.""

In reply to Bandit (msg # 238):

"You may not have to be a good shot to startle someone, but to get them to drop their purses is another matter. People on these roads don't just drop their hard earned cash because of a few villages saying 'boo'. I don't buy that, try again."

"I am not a good shot, nor am I a good hunter."

In reply to Bandit (msg # 240):

"So what are you good at?" She seems to be getting a little impatient with the pity party...

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 241):

This is a 62 pt character and not good at a whole lot. Top skill is around 12

Masugatan tries to remember what he was good at before he became an adventurer.  Not much comes to mind.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 242):

GURPS says a skill of 12 is sufficient to make a living. Christine just does not believe thieving is all they can do...
