❧ peridot

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself in a densely wooded area, in a small clearing, facing a cabin. The windows all seem to be closed tightly, and there is a red "x" painted on the door.

There are several narrow pathways leading away into the forest, but it is dim and misty in the approaching twilight. Vines hang low from the trees, curling slightly, and the air is hushed and too quiet. There are no sounds of birds or animals.

Yeah...if it's a deep gut wound...and if those boy's bones just need to be set, that would be more like bandaging than surgery...

Human medicine is so complicated... This could all be fixed by magic in the same way.

I know...I used to be able to do it...

So...the majority of the medicine and bedside manner for the girl. Most of the bandaging and a few points of surgery and beside manner for the boy. The rest for the man, along with a bit of bedside manner because that's always good...one point of luck for each, and whatever intuition we need to balance things out.

[sigh]

Do you think it is more important to spread our points thin so everyone is attended to, or to definitively solve the problems that people have while ignoring the things that are not apparent?

We...don't know enough. That girl could have a cold or be really, really sick. He could have a really deep injury or just a flesh wound. All we can do is...guess...there's no telling how many points we need to heal somebody. We could guess and...be wrong. Or we could try to help everybody.

Yes. Very well.
