Welcome to Gaia! ::

Freshman Quest: Healing 101
Charlie felt it would be beneficial to show the newbies some basic medical techniques, hopefully to keep you alive a little longer! Deciding it would be better to actually show them in a (somewhat) more sanitary environment than the Dorms, so this quest takes place in the Health Department (their make-shift Infirmary). There are a few lingering staff and helpers around who show you the ropes.

Quest Notes:
- You can do this quest as a group if you'd like! Just roll the steps as usual.
- There is a 300 word minimum word count for each person in this quest.

Step One: Learning the Layout
- Roll 3d6 in one post OR 1d6 in three separate posts. RP your character inspecting these areas. (if you roll multiples you can either Re-roll or say they inspect that area super closely)

• 1: Pull out a drawer and inside you find their supply of band-aids and bandages. It seems like a lot but in reality it would not last long if things really went down.
  
• 2: A locked Cabinet filled with medicines. The staff tell you that only one person in their group holds the key to it, and he is quite the cranky customer. They say just in case something happens to the holder there is a hidden spare key somewhere.
  
• 3: You look down at a metal table with shiny instruments piled on top. Really to you they look like mini torture devices, best not hang around for long. In reality they are emergency items for surgical needs.
  
• 4: You instead the tables that the staff have covered in white linens. There are some mysterious stains on them, red tinted.
  
• 5: Neat! There is a working height and weight scale the team had moved into the department. Good to know!
  
• 6: A small room with a door off to one side. Inside is a simple desk and a few chairs, clearly a private area for meetings if you'd rather keep things hush hush. There is also paperwork on top of the desk. One of them is a log explaining what had been used and who had been there and when.
  

Step two: Using Supplies
- Not wanting to waste their limited medical supply on trainees, instead they improvise using similar objects to practice with.
- If doing this as a group feel free to 'practice' on each other, if doing this solo you may say you are using a random NPC to test things on!
- Roll 1d6 and match your responses below.
- Please roll twice! So do two of them below. (If you roll the same number feel free to re-roll)

• 1: Fake Bandages! Using some clean socks, pretend to be bandaging up a part of your 'patients' body that might have been wounded. Use clips to clip the socks in place.
  
• 2: Using a bottle filled with water from the tap, pretend you are cleaning a wound! Remember you would never actually use the trainted water on a real wound, but this is pretend. In a real situation you would use isopropyl alcohol or something like it.
  
• 3: Taking a needle and thread, sew up a hole in the provided tattered clothing. Not only does this show how to make-shift sew a wound, it also patches some clothing holes! Yay for being useful!!
  
• 4: On a table is an actual knife. They ask you to take the knife and cut up some of the canned peaches nearby. Why? They state it's another practice but i think they actually just need help with food prep.... Handling the knife comes with a warning of 'If you cut yourself you sew yourself up.'
  
• 5: Another station leads towards the earlier metal table with the surgical equipment, there is a note on top that says 'DO NOT TOUCH.' Oh, Ok. Easiest example ever!
  
• 6: As a lesson in maintaining a healthy environment, they make you clean down the entire room.
  

Rewards:
- This quest is considered complete once every player inside has rolled all the times and made the minimal 300 word count each!
- For Course Credits: Take the very first number and the very last number you rolled in this thread and add them together. If its an even number, divide it by two and thats how many points you get. If its an odd number, add +1 and then divide by two.
- Example: I rolled a 2 and a 4. 2+4 = 6. 6 / 2 = i earned 3 credits for this quest.
- Example 2: 1 rolled a 1 and a 2. 1+2=3. Oops! Odd number! So add a 1 to make it an even number. 3+1=4. 4 / 2 = I earned 2 credits for this quest.
- Max credits possible to earn in this quest is 6.
- The numbers you add are your personal numbers, meaning YOU rolled them. If you have multiple people in a thread, they use their own first and last numbers they personally rolled.

With the aid of her staff, Kammy followed behind Cecil and smiled at the staff as well. Or in this case she smiled at a bottle of alcohol. "No problem at all! I could always do with extra skills in healing. And you're right, we'll probably need a few clerics about to give buffs. Plus I would like to avoid any more grenades and gunfire."

Yes, no more of that, she really didn't want to lose any other senses.

"Dungeons and dragons is my life. Well, much of geeky fandon is my life, but so is DnD." She grinned, fond memories flashing through her mind. "Nothing better then setting up a Internet DnD party. I've even GMed a few campaigns myself."

"Sweet, thanks a bunch for leading me around." She replied as Cecil guided her, unaware of his discomfort. Briefly her foot brushed against something. "Oh, whats this?" She bent down to feel what it was. "Oh hey, we got scales. Cool"

Kammy had never looked so excited.

"I will make a special GM board just for you Cecil, you can have the best characters stats at the start of game. I'll even give you all the secret areas and best dice for constitutional rolls."

She walked pass the table with the linen on it, ignoring the stains and listening to Cecil. "Sounds like a good place. Maybe for a for games too." Oh how she wished.

Well, Kammy certainly seemed excited about the idea. "Sounds great. Maybe you can make me a barbarian character. Real strong with good armor. A tank you called it?"

He shuffled them quickly passed the linen table since that had been where Kammy had started to wander and apparently right back into another private room so that he could collect himself. Yep, it was a nice room, such square, much quiet.

"Maybe we should just move on to practice." Cecil chuckled, moving Kammy over to where the supplies was laid out for them. He eyed the supplies by the medical table and noticed it was mostly made up of sharp pointed objects. It also had a sign on it that said do not touch. Fair enough, he could take a hint.

"What do you want to work on first?"

Cecil looked to the staff and they nodded their agreement. Apparently they were a little too busy to show them how to do something at the moment. It made sense, there was a lot going on.

"Sure, you take care of the floors and I'll wipe down some of the surfaces." Cecil grabbed a clean rag and started to wipe stuff down though every once in a while he caught a hint of red. He shied away, a shiver running down his spine as he continued to work to clean what he could that wouldn't be in the way.

Once he had wiped the area clean Cecil looked back to the staff as they bustled about and then to the supplies. He knew cleaning wasn't going to really help him. It was dealing with wounds that he needed to face.

Setting the cloth aside he moved to one of the staff hoping they could help him and they handed him a bottle of tap water and explained how to clean a wound. It was more in depth than he expected, not to mention he had to know that he wouldn't clean an actual wound with tap water.

Kammy had made her wait toward him and Cecil politely offered his arm so that she could practice but couldn't help but chuckle when the clip ended up in the wrong place. Plucking it from his shirt he placed in back into her hand. "Try again."
