[pnpgm] Update #41 – Varo

[Bessie Hadley]

[Varo has some knowledge (~25% for each) of healing poisons & finding healing plants & identifying plants,which triggers the actions here.]

Varo is across the camp area from Jaren, but when she turns she sees some greenish gas or cloud around Jaren & Jaren on the ground. “Get away from that cloud!” Varo yells. “Get Jaren away from there – he shouldn’t be breathing that – that could be poison to everyone! Get him away from that creature! Everyone away from there!”

She runs toward him, but also starts looking around the area around & outside camp, looking for any plant that she might have learned of to help deal with poisonous gas, as well as digging into her pack for any poison treatments she may be carrying, although she’s not sure the emetic in the first aid kit she’s carrying will help. She arrives where Jaren has been moved to, still going through her medical supplies.

“Are his clothes wet from that stuff? If so, get them off - & hold your breaths! Is he breathing? If not, get him turned over on his stomach or his back & push his chest down for a couple seconds, then let go to force him to breathe in good air. Get him to cough – clear his lungs. Hold your own breaths & take turns!”

Varo doesn’t know if she can help, but she runs over with her supplies & looks around for any plants that might help. She will do what she can, but try to keep others from breathing any traces of what caused Jaren to collapse. She is worried her knowledge is not enough, only basic, & as she runs she prays desperately to Ernalda that she has the knowledge needed, or the medicine, or that it it nearby. “Please clear Jaren’s lungs of that poison or whatever that cloud was, Mother Ernalda, & give him clean, free air & aid to help him now!” She joins the others in their efforts, but feels compelled to look out beyond the camp's area to see if there are any plants that could help. She adds a brief prayer that her eyes be clear to anything that could be of use, simply praying under her breath as she searches the area from near Jaren.

She, too will cast a Healing Spell at level 2, to add to any healing effects being given Jaren.
