Sounds good from my end of things.  Do we succeed?

Hang on, gotta see what Malak is going to do....

The Huntsman ignores the spray of blood pumping in an arc from the gash in his neck and struggles with his ensnared crossbow. He's losing a lot of blood and off balance, spills his bolts across the floor.

Emral manages to grab the crossbow with his hand, giving the huntsman even more resistance!

Malak fires 2 arrows off in quick succession - it's short range so no deduction there. But  both shots at a –2 for firing into melee.

The first arrow punctures the huntsman's chest cavity and he collapses on cue, so as the second arrow flies needlessly into the wooden doors at the front of the church!
 

Emral grabs the huntsman by the collar and pulls him down to the floor.

“I don’t want you to die. Stop fighting and I will try to close your wounds. But you have to stop!”

D20+1: 10

Ooc: since Emral was looking into his eyes as he died, does that mean his soul has to serve him in the afterlife like from the movie Firestarter?

Emral puts him on the ground, closes his eyelids... and then goes through his stuff looking for healing potions!!!

Ooc: because screw this guy! Also he’s religious, and in RPGs that might mean healing magic. Not a cleric or paladin, so potions or scrolls.

What is his gear?

“We’re here to reclaim the treasure for the cleric, and the body of the orphan Olo. We’re not part of any demon cults, which I TOLD you before you shot me! Now, where are your healing potions? And don’t waste my time.”

Emral has his hands on the wounds for pressure to stop the bleeding, but he’s looking at the mans things for a potion pouch or other medication.

ooc: so we save him, check his stuff, get some answers. Plus he can get us out through the wilds alive, and get us some food so we don't starve. 
Off-topic: I still want to try the rabbit's foot on Olo, as bringing the kid back alive would be fantastic; I'm thinking down the line Iron Ranger can have a high level cleric or something named Olo. If it doesn't happen, that's fine; just if we figure it out or it comes up during the adventure.

IC:

"Tell us, Huntsman, why are you here? We've been fighting cursed undead and mutant beasts for days, and we've been trapped here since the winter storms and darkness fell. The only conversation was with monsters, and then while we fought for our lives. Why would you come here, and why would you think we were with a witch cult? There's enough rumour of treasure that we could have been the mercenary treasure-hunters we happen to be; albeit on a quest from a goodly cleric. Why assume us to be witches?"

Wipe the blood from my hands on his clothing

Emral unloads the backpack, finding a winter blanket,
rations
waterskin 1/2 full
bandages
tinderbox
hooded lantern empty
flask of lamp oil full
50' hemp rope
100' sinew cord
hunting horn
a piece of old, worn, folded up parchment
 

I examine the knife
I also retrieve my daggers and try to retrieve the arrows I fired.
And retrieve arrows I fired at the rats, etc.
Please tell me how many I recover (if any)
