Checking On Zork and....Marek is WHERE!? (Marek's Revenge TP)
RW Abbey: Infirmary Recovery
This comfortable but spartan room has several small alcoves lining the wall. Infirmary bunks with resting and recovering patients lie in these alcoves, each cordoned off with a gossamer drapery of linen for privacy. The room is lit with oil lamps and the pleasing warmth of a small hearth fire. This room is kept quiet, except for the occasional snore, hacking cough or sniffle of its sleeping infirmary occupants.

Exits: [Back] to the Main Infirmary
Oz has not cared on staying in his room and managed to get to the infirm, normally he wouldn’t come in here but there is Zork, after getting a novice to led him to the cot he stays close by using his staff for support while his leg still heals.
Zork lies here, no moving except breathing but then Oz couldn’t even see that. He still is in his deep faint and has yet to wake from it.
Oz reaches out a paw touching Zork's arm and feeling his forehead with a frown as he lets out a sigh, "What happen yesterday?" He is not sure he can be heard but he still stays for now.
Zork doesn’t have a fever so that’s good, his breathing and heart rate are lower than it should be and a healer has been watching him most of the time and since last night someone even stays up during the night with the badger. Having only been away from him maybe a couple hours.
Oz holds his paw and frowns, he calls over a novice, he knows they are there, and quietly speaks with them which seems to make him worry more now.
Zork stays quiet, no movement or even a mumble just light breathing. Probably the first time, even with being in here before, that he has stayed unconscious this long in his life. Every so often a healer will slowly get water or a clear soup like stuff down him slowly.
Oz lets tears of concern come now, " I wish you would mumble or groan or something."
It’s unclear if he can hear Oz or not, he makes no motion to show this fact, he is breathing and that’s right now not as good as it should be as it’s a little low and his pulse is still weak.
Oz is at a lost on how to help, he can just tell the pulse is weak and laying a paw on his chest tell how his breathing is." Just wake up soon, you have to wake up soon."
Zork doesn't respond and it would appear he won’t any time soon.
Oz stays silent by his side, this is one of those times he wished he could still see.
A healer beast comes to check on Zork, and notices Oz as she clears her throat a little to get his attention.
Oz had almost fallen asleep when he hears the cough and is instantly alert but frowns as he knows it’s not who he though" What..." He asks quietly.
The healer frowns "Sorry didn’t mean to startle you, he hasn't woken up yet or moved."
Oz frowns "I..figured that. He hasn’t woke up, even for a brief little bit?"
The healer shakes her head sadly, "No, he has not. He has remained the same. No mumbles or anything, his breathing and pulse remain low, they have not gotten worse but they have not gotten better either I am afraid."
Oz nods, "Thank you for the info, maybe someone can come and tell me if any changes happen. Good or bad changes. I can't stay in here too long will need to get back to my room..soon"
There is a light knock at the door, and then Lee pokes his head in. "Oy, 'ello Oz... Thought I'd come by ta check up on Zork... Is 'e doin' any better at all?"
The healer frowns at the otter, she checks Zork over as he lays there silent and eyes closed, he is breathing a little lower than normal and has stayed the same since he passed out, "No.." The healer answers, "he is not doing any better, no worse either. He has yet to wake from his faint."
Oz lets the healer speak, he is unable to say much right now.
Lee frowns, entering the room fully. "That... doesn't sound too good. Any ideas wot may be wrong?"
The healer speaks, "He doesn’t have too many wounds, some claw marks on his back and on one wrist, the cut on his right cheek. He came in here in very bad pain and said he couldn’t breath and that was pretty clear. He was also holding his chest and shivering. The ones helping in here yesterday mid-morning gave him a lot of think white willow bark tea and some other herbs..he was trying to say some things and then slipped into the deep faint."
Oz listens and only frowns.
Lee sighs, and slumps against the wall. "I've never 'eard of anythin' like it before... Per'aps Leon would 'ave an idea..."
The healer nods "You can ask..."
Oz says, "I don’t know either, I know he fought that lizard once before, maybe not nearly as intense as this one fight. The first fight seemed to make him tried and he said it was just cause he was working a lot in the forge and then the fight and he didn’t have his weapon the first time, this 2nd time seem to last longer and he had his weapon ...it seems anyways"
The healer nods "Yes he had his sword, sort of dragged it and dropped it by the door leading to the open ground, he collapsed right inside the doorway. He also seemed to be having trouble even lifting the sword, then he seemed in a lot of pain also and his breathing was very serious at the time."
Lee frowns. "Wotever it is, it sounds serious indeed..."
Oz nods in agreement, "Ask Leon, he could know..maybe he could even give you something to help you can bring back with you..I.." He sighs "I don't know, Leon knows a lot and has saved many beasts, even if he can't be here, he could give you something still and tell you what to do with it."
The healer looks over at Zork and frowns and back to them, "Anything would help, we could still lose him as he is far out of danger. Even if he hasn’t gotten worse still there the hasn’t gotten better either"
Lee nods. "I'll ask next time I see 'im...in the meantime, I still 'ave yet ta inform Marek that 'is second in command Zarola be dead... Ta be honest, I'm not entirely sure 'ow Marek will react..."
Oz frowns at this news "Hard to say..your have to explain what happen and hope you live to let us know his reaction."
The healer frowns as well "Marek scares me, he has only been in here once or twice and stays either in the great hall or cavern Hole. Or what he calls his personal chambers."
Lee asks, "Where is 'is personal chambers?"
Oz listens as he is indeed curious himself.
The healer frowns as she answers "Abbot Lorimis..room" She frowns, she is then called over to help with a ferret that seems to of stubbed their toe and sighs.
Oz frowns deeply at this news but tries his best not to go grumble about it, that could be the wrong move to make.
Lee sighs. "The Abbot's Room?!?"
Oz frowns, "Explains why Lorimis didn’t want to go back to his room right away..he feels safer in mine...that’s not a good thing Lee, Lorimis is probably back in his room also..Lorimis even said Marek rarely keep him out of his sight and always made him leave if news was around. You best speak to him I..I will be here with Zork"
Lee nods, as he departs. "Stay safe, friend."
Oz nods" Be..Careful Lee" He then stays by Zork’s side for the rest of the day until very late into the night , only leaving after he makes sure a healer will update him on his brother, good or bad he stresses this and slowly goes back to his own room, lays down and falls asleep.
