Holes and Patches [OPEN FREE FOR ALL]

After the battle, the warriors' task was over. Their job, for now, was to rest and recover for the time being.

The healers' job, on the other hand, was far from over. Some exhausted from the battle, others rotating in, they took to their bay and continued the process of treating the wounded. Some patients were free to leave in a few minutes, while others would have some time (or quite some time) on the cots. Their mission: relax. Stay as still as possible.

Unfortunately, the temptation of so many familiar faces alive and about would ultimately prove to be too great. Keeping track of this group was going to be a third task all its own.

[this is a free for all for all your injured! Have them socialize, be thorns in the medics' side, try to escape, or bring the medics together for some action. Just note in your post if you'd like a medic to visit your character---if not, it's time for a chat!]

He sat up just a little straighter as she approached -- the elf did have his dignity after all. But even as he stretched out a hand towards her, he voiced a half-indignant, half-plaintive question.

"What is 'radiation' anyway?!"

[curiousredsoul]

She couldn't help but smile a little more as he straightened himself at the sight of her, taking his hand gently as offered. Her head tilting lightly at the question before a slightly worried look passed over her expression as she shifted her vision briefly before her expression relaxed.

"Radiation is a form of energetic particle or wave, one that can be quite dangerous in enough quantities as it can damage the very make up of ones being on the smallest level, I gather you pushed the limits on time staying outside the shield, fortunately not for too long however,"

"I assumed the form of a troll, all the wounds I endured were fully regenerated," he said, still irritated. "I shouldn't be in any danger whatsoever."

[curiousredsoul]

"Indeed, however radiation damages one in such a way that such regeneration would not be effective, if anything it would damage the ability to regenerate in that form," She replied softly as she moved around to sit beside him on the bunk.

He frowned. "So it cannot be regenerated. What about fast healing? Surely that would function? I certainly don't feel unwell. Perhaps a bit nauseated, but after such a battle is that not to be expected?"

[curiousredsoul]

"To a degree it may help, fortunately you haven't taken in too much. The nausea is likely from the radiation poisoning in your system...it will pass fortunately, had you stayed out there for too long though..." She trails off at that, her concern evident.

"There has to be some mechanism by which this 'radiation' damage can be healed or immunized against!" he grumbled. That he had failed to do so implied a weakness or failing in his own magical capacity, which of course he could not abide. "I suppose healing it proper may lie in the realm of divine magic, but adaptation or negation must surely be possible!"

"In most cases, adequate shielding can negate the radiation, however the type given off by the Firewyrm in this case was of an unknown and especially potent variety, thus requiring shields of of the power of those that protected the evacuation zones," Celena replied easily in return, "With study perhaps, restorative spells, those that cure of afflictions could perhaps rid the body of foreign particles such as the radiation, it is hard to say for sure whether they would be entirely effective however,"

"It is energy, is it not? If magic can deflect or absorb conventional forms of energy, it can absorb this too. It is simply the nature of magic to not be directly extensible," Aibghalien said.

[curiousredsoul]

"To a degree, however the form the Ohm were giving off in this case was unlike any I've seen, even magical barriers may not have been sufficient, for lower levels of radiation, magic barriers should be sufficiently powerful to deter, if made for the purpose," Celena replied in turn thoughtfully.

"If I can ward away other forms of energy, certainly I can ward away this," he insisted. "I just need to determine how."
