A Scene of Carnage

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 44785

The scene was a shocking one - and a disturbing one too for Henri, who had not thought that enemy scouts could have penetrated so far. After quickly checking that the grizzly really was dead, they went over to the two soldiers to see what they could do for them. It was immediately obvious that one was dead; the grizzly had almost ripped his head from his body. The other had lost a lot of blood from bad wounds in his left arm and his right thigh. He was unconscious.

"If we can staunch the bleeding, I think that he might be saved," Henri said.

"Your kind heart again?" Astra asked, as she used her knife to cut off the end of her sleeve. Then she took a crossbow bolt, and used it with the strip of material to create a make-shift tourniquet for the man's arm.

"Partly, perhaps. But any information that we can get from him about the enemy's strength and plans could be very valuable." As he spoke, he was attending to the man's thigh wound. Meanwhile he had noted that this strange woman had been well able to cope with such a bloody scene, and seemed to know quite a lot of first aid.

He went on:

  1. "We'll have to cut down some branches and try to make something that we can drag him back to the camp on."
  2. "He shouldn't be moved just yet. I'd like to stay with him in case he comes round and says something useful. Do you think that you'd be capable of finding your way back to the camp and fetching help?"
