Lenora lets her pack slide to the floor, leaning Agravon against it with
Farli's aide and hurries to Pean, steadying him a bit. "You need to wait as
well. You're too hurt to go galavanting around without some help. And don't
grumble, it's not becoming. Shouldn't we worry about the spikards sticking
out of most of the party before investigating the loot? You are so one track
minded!" She tried to shuffle Pean back towards Agravon, waving for Rose and
Garrott and any of the other wounded to gather round too.

"I'm sure the rest of the group are big pants people too and know enough not
to touch the sparklies lest they lose their fingers."

"Ayoe.. Do you know what we're supposed to do with these crystal spikes? Do
we need to remove them or do they go away over time?" The thought of having
to cut something out of her friends flesh was gut wrenching, but she'd
surely do it rather than having them lay in lingering pain as their muscle
and skin shifted over the crystal. "Or chisel in Garrott's case. I have a
feeling his whole is as hard as his head."
