[ADMIN: Slightly in the future...  I may post again, detailing the
period between the _Morning Breeze_ and arriving at the inn, though it
won't be anything spectacular.  Sorry if this results in any confusion]

Tvarne returns to the inn, to see a Guardsman with a bad head injury,
and Kron demanding medical assistance.  Surprised none of the other
patrons have assisted the man yet, Tvarne runs up the stairs to his
room, returning with his pack.

Kneeling beside Teondir, Tvarne opens the bottom section of his pack,
which opens to reveal a large number of small air-tight containers,
small knives, bandages etc.  "Barmaid, some hot water please, and I
would borrow some of your time too if you would, and yours too" he
says looking at the mopboy who is watching nearby, "quickly!".  When the
boy draws near, Tvarne grabs his hands, and directs them to Teondir's
head and neck to apply pressure to a point on each. "Now apply a gentle
pressure there until I tell you to stop."

Serene returns with a pot of water, and places it near the Guardman,
again, Tvarne grabs one of her hands and gently places it on Teondir's
skull.  "Only a gentle pressure, but don't take your hand away until I ask
you to."  Tvarne uses a cup to pour some of the near boiling water Serene
brought, over his hands, cringing slightly.  After cutting the Sergeant's
hasty bandage aways from the boys head, he cleans the wound with a mixture
consisting of equal parts of hot and room temperature water, and a small
amount of a white powder which immediately dissolves in the liquid.

Delving again into his pack, he brings out a container with a thick clear
liquid, which he sparingly coats the wound with.  Having done that he 
grabs two more containers, one containing a number of needles, the other
some thin black thread, and after sterilizing the needle in the hot water
provided, threads the needle.  Turning to Serene, "With your free hand,
as I sew the wound, hold together the wound just behind where I am
stitching.".  Not waiting for an answer, Tvarne holds the wound together
with one hand, and stitches with the other, and after making a few sutures
he guides Serene's hand to the closed side of the wound, "Now just follow
behind my needle, applying a gentle closing force."  The wound is
quickly sewn.  "As I touch your hand, slowly release the pressure,
and quickly reapply pressure if the wound should start to bleed."  With
that Tvarne first touches Serene's hand, then each of Marux's in turn,
thankfully the wound remains clean.  Sighing with relief, Tvarne
smiles at his assistants, "Well, we may well have saved the lads life."

Binding Teondir's head with a bandage, Tvarne turns to Kron, "This is as
much as I can do, he should be fine in a few days with the care a
mother provides best."

[ADMIN:  I would have involved Kron more in this, but I don't want to
create any paradoxes with his current posts...  Also, if there are any
clerics who wish to help, feel free, Gods tend to do a better job :)]
