Furiously Aruna swung her spare Restore staff like a baseball bat at the target's head dealing a measly 1 damage. There's a reason she's not a melee fighter.
Well at least she didn't use her Kneader. The serpentine cleric probably would have healed him instead of given him an itch.
Aruna was so done with this. She had dealt with two teammates that had been affected by status inducing staves, been put to work healing more than she was capably of doing at one time, forced to go open the door and take the first hit from the boss since her teammate was just standing around, and now despite her best efforts just lost the two gems they went through the trouble of getting. And Lance.
With her mighty stave bonk, the target becomes dazed for just a moment, a moment that allows Kieran to come in and finish the job. The target drops his axe and falls face first to the ground, motionless. Aruna checks his pulse, but finds no heartbeat. The job was to bring the target back alive, but the team did what was necessary.
After meeting up with Lance back at the entrance, the team heads back to Eyris, along with the corpse of their target. Upon entering the guild headquarters at the castle, they are ushered to Lady Isadora's office to complete the job. They take a moment to give an account of what transpired.
"I see," the dame knight says "you were fortunate to get out alive this time, Lance. Next time, your inaction could be the death of you or one of your fellow guildsmen... as a mercenary group leader, I'd think you would know this." She smiles at him, her words clearly spoken with concern rather than with the intent of giving a lecture. "Regardless, you did work relatively well together and you have completed your mission. It is unfortunate that the target could not be taken alive, but at least we know with his death that these raids are at an end. Well done. Here's your reward...." She smiles once more before handing the gold to Kieran and Aruna.
