Chapter 622: Blood and Bandages
If it were me, I'd have given the lessons on first aid before the first floggings.
"Okay." I said to Sougwa's... boyfriend? Man-slave? Cultist?
"This," I said, "Is a Plainstrider Healing Potion. Takes a day's nutrition to work, takes an hour to work, provides a day's worth of healing. There are side effects of trying to use more than one in a day."
Astrolocus squinted at me, "At what cost? If our squad suffers, does yours not prosper in comparison?"
"I don't see things that way." I said. "The potion's magic will expire with the coming of the new moon. Why should it go to waste?"
"Fine." he said. "No strings attached. You got this from Rebis?"
"I got it by abusing an empty pot for two hours." I said.
Astro wasn't the strongest of us, but he was quick of mind and swift of wit. "You MADE this? You have to teach us."
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Mike_Kochis
Mike_Kochis This really needed to be divided into two chapters; I've decided not to try putting each "encounter" into its own chapter, which is going to play merry hob with the outline.
I'm not sure who said it's better to have an outline you know you're going to throw away than to have no plan at all. In one sense, they are absolutely right.
In another totally real sense, it seems there must be a better way to do this.
As always, thank you for all the ongoing support. If I've seemed distant on chapter and paragraph comments, the web page is broken; I'm literally not able to type in responses.
