With proper care, and a touch of divine magic, he should be back on his feet in three days or so, but he needs that care, and gods know I've go my work cut out for me. He'll still be here tomorrow, so you all go home and get some rest, and then you can ask your questions of him, alright?" the old cleric said, all but shoving everyone out the door, although he did, noticeably, overlook Val's presence by her father's bedside.<br/><br/>Once outside, the council quickly descended on Isixam. "I don't know how you did it, boy, but you saved him, that's for sure." "I thought we were going to write you up as another lost cause, heading into the ruins alone." "I will certainly say, you've earned this," the old dwarf woman said, pulling out a large pouch of coins, and a scroll, and handing them over to him. "As promised, four thousand gold pieces, for bringing him back, and the scroll of<em>Resurrection</em>we'd planned to use, if he hadn't been alive."<br/><br/>(+1000xp story reward)
