-- The Wheel Turns --

You rapidly sheathe your spear and fling Maeslyn over your shoulders. You can tell she's alive, but only barely. She's going to need medical attention... and quickly.

You curse again dodging more swooping birds and then you move as fast as possible towards the edge of the clearing and hopefully to some cover from the trees.

Many of the ravens peel off and return to their trees around the tower, but three remain swooping and clawing at you as you jog to relative safety. As you make it out of the clearing and into the woods, a sole raven bites and pecks at your head.

With your right hand, you attempt to smack the bird off, but he bites and claws your hand. You curse again and let Maeslyn fall unceremoniously to the ground. You then grab your spear. "One raven I can take!" You mutter as the bird once more nibbles at you. Then with a skilled whirl of your spear you smack the bird with the blunt end and it drops with a squawk and a crunch onto the ground.

Seeing that you've lost the rats and the birds, you rush to Maeslyn. You can see she's in very bad shape. You quickly rummage through her back, looking for the small ivory colored jar you've seen her use on your own injuries. You gently dab some of the substance onto her wounds, her arms, face, hands. To your relief and amazement, you can see that the bleeding stops and while still unconscious and in terrible shape her breaths aren't as labored and it looks like she might live.

Your own wounds are considerable, but you can see she only has enough healers balm to provide one more use. And that thing may still be out there...
