The martial artist doesn't have a pulse. He is also dead. Tiger holster's her gun and looks around. "Strongbow, can you heal Pantera." Most of the creatures are in relatively good condition, but Pantera was closest to the bomb and looks half dead. Strongbow gingerly walks over and heals the giant tiger a little by touch.
Glaurung smiles rows of teeth in answer, seeming fine.
Tiger unsummons Pantera, just in case it can recuperate better that way. She thinks for a second.
"A camp this size will notice they are missing within the day, and there is no way no one noticed that explosion. Steelfist, you don't look damaged. Accompany me to headquarters." She mumbles, "Lets go tell some lies."
"Strongbow, check everyone over and heal them as best you can. Everyone withdraw your creatures. Patrols might show up any second and I'll be sending a team to pick up these bodies soon. Stay here with these four until the bodies are moved."
Tiger's armored coat is pretty beat up, so she discards it, as she prepares to visit the headquarters tent.

Khris started to move the bodies together. " Now everyone knows why we wear armor." He said, wiping a trickle of blood from a scratch on his brow. As he droped one of the soldier's next to the martial artist, he looked at Dante and Jeckle," Even if you thinnk the two of you are okay, let Strongbow check you over. She's the medic, and sometimes an injury doesn't show up right away." He added the last from experience.

Steelfist salutes and falls a step behind Tiger, Mentally sending ~Glaurung, Thank you for your assistance. Go rest for now~ As he checks his weapons and slings the Rifle over his shoulder as he walks.

*Jeckle shakes her head to get rid of any more 'fogging' that might be there. 'yeah .. other than a limp arm, i'm fine. don't think its broken .. just bruised bad'
*she keeps quiet now as she makes her way out of the debris field and moves to the clearing and stops short of the fresh dirt to examine it some more.
'was it me or did they know you Tiger? they could be a faction or one of the groups that failed to find the .. whatever it is we're here to retrieve for him .. ' *she tucks the injured hand inside the coat pocket. she spots a piece of the vehicle stopper she used on the rhino 'well i guess i'll just have to rebuild it. it seemed to work .. '

Dante tells Strongbow, "I'm good, I can heal myself."
He leaves the dead attacker and walks towards Jeckle, returning his sword to its sheath. He recalls Nahir and reaches out towards Jeckle. "Here, Let me see what I can do for your arm."
He takes her arm and after a 2 minute trance he reaches out and heals her arm with his Healing Touch.

"Probably just by reputation," Tiger responds to Jeckle over her shoulder without turning around. She keeps walking. "If they really knew me, they wouldn't have tried to fight us. And they certainly wouldn't have used a bomb." Her voice is even and controlled, and it is hard to tell if she is frustrated by the situation the team is in or the fact that men in her old unit just fought her to the death. Or both.
Strongbow walks up to Kris, "You Ok?" Kris can tell Strongbow took quite a few punches by the way she walks, but she seems to be recovering fast. She has that painful smile of a fighter who knows they will feel it in the morning.

" I'll be fine," Khris replied with a shrug. " Just a bump on the noggin and a few bruises." He tapped his breastplate," Armor might stop the blastbut it don't help getting slammed around in it."

' .. oh i'll second that' *jeckle finally sits on a rock and starts moving the hand again. 'thanks Dante, he came down on it and i heard creaking and was hoping it wasn't broken. man he's got a hard kick, really nasty. glad he's dead'
*she opens the coat and finds an inner pocket and pulls out a small flask and undoes the cap and tips it back and takes a drink and then recaps it. 3 seconds later she's making a face and muttering 'eww burn burn .. yuck .. ' ~gasp~ 'man, that does have a kick to it' she is then busy putting away her little flask, before someone sniffs it out on her

Khris saw what Jeckle had done, but kept quiet. " You think he kicks hard, try sparring with Tiger. I watched her once and it hurt just thinking about it." He turned back to Strongbow," Do I require your assitance, or am I good to go?"

'no thanks. i learned how to defend myself cause Ja .. my brother insisted i learn. it helped retone my muscles once the grafts held. i'ld zone out till it was over then med the body to sleep past the pain and repeat till the pain stopped happening. not the greatest way, but it worked for the first couple of years out of the burn ward and in recovery. did you want a snoot? .. its full of vitamins and stuff' *she gives Khris a grin then closes the eyes for a bit in the sunshine

Dante walks off a little and says, "I'm going to trance out and see if I can heal up a little. Wake me if we need to move."
Dante sits down with his sword across his lap and his back against a tree. He focuses on his ability to increase his healing and begins to trance.

Tiger and Steelfist make their way back to the command tent, where Tiger is shown in without an appointment. They don't spend any time waiting and once in the commander's office, Tiger asks him to send two teams to recover the bodies, speaking in Chinese of course.
The commander looks shocked only for a moment and then asks Tiger some questions about how the men died. Tiger lies and tells him that his men died heroically assisting her team. The enemy was driven off, not killed. She recommends they receive medals for their bravery. The commander seems to be in shock, as if he knows that Tiger is telling him his men are dead but he just can't process it.
Tiger also has some other recommendations, [Leak this information to the troops and let them know that it is my wish that they stay out of this fight and leave it to the mercenary team. I don't want anyone else to lose their lives unnecessarily. Keep this only from the entertainers. - they don't need to know the truth.]
The command thinks about this for a moment, [The girls will need to be shipped out...]
[Negative,] Tiger responds, [They are in the center of the camp - they can't get any safer than they are now. If we call a supply ship they could be in danger if they try to leave before this enemy is subdued. We can't defend them in a boat.]
The commander looks at her and sits down, seemingly to grasp the situation more readily now, his military training taking over. [What about him?] The commander nods towards Steelfist.
[He held his own,] Tiger says casually, as if she doesn't care for Steelfist one way or the other but inside she is smiling, already reading the man's thoughts.
The commander faces Steelfist, [You will assist the Captain in her mission.] Clearly he feels strongly that he must do something, anything to help the mission be completed successfully. The commander turns to Tiger.
Tiger nods.
[They were honored to fight beside you.] The commander responds, [Please give me a copy of your reports before you send them so I can compose letters to their families.] He bows his head to Tiger and she in turn to him and the audience is over.
Tiger and Steelfist accompany two squads of heavily armed troops back to the clearing and the soldiers carefully place the dead on stretchers and bring them back to the camp.
Tiger tells her team, "Take a rest. Make sure you are recovered and meet me at the plane in six hours. The guides won't follow you anymore, and guards will be posted to protect your tent. I'll fill Ionic in on what happened here." Noticing Strongbow, Tiger turns to Dante. "Can you heal her?" Strongbow waves a hand as if she isn't really hurt, but Tiger says, "I saw those punches, you are walking like you got hit by a car."

Steelfist Stands at ease the entire time he is in the tent saluting when he was addressed by the commander. Afterwards he follows Tiger with the soldiers, then assisted them in moving the wounded/dead.

Khris watches the soldiers recover their dead, a thought occuring to him as he stared vacantly as the recovery unfolded. After a moment, he stood up," I'm gonna take a walk, unwind a little."

'be careful .. no one can bug me like you do. you'ld miss it too .. '
*that said she stands up and rolls the head to the side and stretches once then moves towards the camp .. but pauses once to look about and get her bearings. she simply shakes her head and heads off into the jungle instead.
*she looks back long enough to say 'gotta check on something i lost this way .. see you later .. ' *she plans on heading to the cave actually to check her readings and to see if the paintings return once the 'person is dead'.
