Perrault smiled.
"These are cursers. They let me cast magic, even though I am not a mage myself..."
He looked down and noticed Farferello's alarmingly apparent rib-cage.
"Oh, my... you poor creature! You must be starving!"

Farfarello looked down at himself and laughed a little. "I'm a bit hungery, but I don't like eating much. I don't have to do it where I come from, you see." He flashed a strange smile, hoping he wouldn't scare Perrault. "I'll get around to it sometime." Of course, by "sometime", the demon meant when he could ignore the pain no longer.

Raedou looked at the demon and scratched his head.
"Is that... thing an acquaintance of yours? How strange..."
He started to limp towards Perrault and the demon.
As he was walking, Raedou stopped and suddenly started to cough and hack,
clutching the slash wound across his torso that the Sentinel inflicted on him during the battle. It began to bleed profusely. He tried to speak, but a strange whistling noise came out instead. The bellow sounded similar to that of an elk, but much louder; he was obviously trying to speak Ganzian, so Perrault could hear him. He then coughed up a large amount of blood and collapsed to the ground...

Perrault grinned and patted the demon on the shoulder.
"Don't worry... Raedou will get you some food. Hey, Raedou!"
He turned around to see in horror that Raedou had fallen and needed help.
The robed mage was by his side, trying to see what happened.
"Raedou?! RAEDOU!!!"
Perrault ran towards where Raedou fell, and tried to help him back up on his feet. Raedou was very heavy, and Perrault was not nearly strong enough to lift the Ganzi's weight. Under Raedou's body, Perrault found a large puddle of blood, mixed with some kind of thick, yellow substance.
"What is this stuff?!" he yelled, his eyes filled with worry and panic.
"Raedou, wake up! Raedou!!!"

((Assuming Perrault can't heal because you wouldn't done that in the same post.))
Ephlas stood still for a moment, observing the nature of Raedou's affliction. "Moderate damage to the torso," he stated, "caused by Horde Sentinels. Possibly infected, possibly poisoned. That will need healing, immediately, but for now you'll need to settle for an antidote; the wound will have to wait until we're away from Erebus. Those people will kill us in less than a minute, I'd wager; my spell is wearing off now."
Ephlas then stooped to help Readou stand again, and gave the Ganzi a rock, held in the palm of his hand. "This is a bezoar. Swallow, if you please. It'll eradicate poisons."
The magus was already hurrying Raedou away from the looming castle; the soldiers were already beginning to pick up their weapons once again.

Farfarello griminced, unaccostamed to helping people. Deciding it was for his advantage to help, Farfarello lifted Raedou's heavy left half over his right shoulder to help stabalize the Ghanzi.
Farfarello wished more then anything that his power was free.

Perrault took the bezoar and... nothing. He stood, looking at the mage and the demon.
"You both have to turn around! I promised that his secret would be safe with me... You can't see his face! Please, turn around!"
Perrault was pouring tears. It was obvious for Ephlas and Farfarello to see
that Perrault practically worshiped Raedou...
"I have to take off his helmet, and you can't see his face! I made a promise..."

"Oh please," Farfarello said, "it's obvious he's a Ghanzi. If I have no trouble showing off my handsome mug, his shouldn't be a problem."

((They could both be supporting him from either side.))
Ephlas dropped his load, throwing his hands up in the air, not angry, but aggravated, to show his frustration. "Sure. Let's protect his secret. And while you're feeding him, we'll all just die here. Yes, that's exactly what I broke out of hiding for. I can't stop four thousand nine hundred and eighty-two arrows, in case you couldn't hazard such a guess."
Turning away, Ephlas worked his hands through several hand-symbols, eyes closed, breathing quick, hasty words of Power as he prepared to summon a giant sphere of rotating air with which to deflect a volley of arrows from their party.
And that number would just be the first volley of arrows, not to mention the other weapons that would be flinging at them soon enough.

((I am currently wearing 4 Stone Gauntlets! Hells yeah!))
"You can't... I made a... his secret..."
Perrault then fainted.
Obviously too much panic for a young boy to handle...

"Lady Elysia's- oh, what's it anyway?" Farfarello seized the beazor from Perrault's hand and shoved it down the throat of the Ghanzi. (This is where you say what it looks like.)

((Make that 5 Stone Gauntlets))
The two looked at the true face of Raedou Ganzi in what was truly a
complete, genuine "what-the-hell" moment.
Raedou's face could be described as a bird, except with no beak, but a pointy snout-like nose with no nostrils. Untidy, crimson-red fur covered his entire face, with a few black spangles here and there. The bezoar worked it's magic, and Raedou slowly opened his eyes. They were huge and crystal blue, so clear that one could get lost in them.
He opened his mouth and spoke.
"Damn pile of worms..."
Then, he saw Farfarello. He snarled in confusion.
"By Lady Elysia's gem, what the hell are you?!"
((I will put a picture of him without his helmet on soon.))

Perrault came to his senses, and saw that his friend's face had been revealed.
"NNOOOOOOOO!!! I failed you, Raedou!!"
He started to cry again.
"Perrault... it's fine. I value my life more than my secret."
Perrault stopped crying and stared at his friend. He smiled and ran towards Raedou to hug him.
"Raedou! You're alive! I knew you'd make it!!!"
Raedou struggled to get Perrault off of him, and then stoop up to thank Eplas and Farfarello for their help.
"Now, I suppose I must bring you along, to return your favor."
He began to laugh.
"My god... A Demon, an Elf, a Mage and a Ganzi!
We are quite the group of misfits, aren't we?!"
