<span style="font-style: italic">Sorry for the several days without a post! You all know how it goes.<br/><br/>I've now realized that including an NPC ally who can infinitely heal the PCs without expending any healing surges is horribly unbalanced, so Tolren won't be available in any future battles. Honestly, I was kind of hoping the hostiles would manage to kill him during the fight, but the dice didn't roll that way.<br/><br/>From hereon out, the out-of-combat healing abilities of the Enders of the Dream will be purely scenery. You'll need to expend healing surges if you want to return to full health between battles.</span><br/><br/>The barbarian is utterly terrified by Saraphina's promises of further torment. He makes no move to resist as he is shackled and only stares at the ground.<br/><br/>Most of the Enders with healing talents are occupied helping those injured by the swarming elementals, but one or two can spare the time to help their leaders. Of course, none of them are as powerful as Salana when it comes to using divine magic.<br/><br/>The tiger-girl in Marrok's belly is digesting quietly now. Salana's meal, meanwhile, is still trembling, but the outcome is not in doubt. It will take time to process them fully: Marrok and Salana will be weighed down for a while, but moving around is much easier now that they're no longer fighting their fate.
