Buliwyf looks down from his machine, wrench in hand.  "I sure hope you've got a replacement arm in your locker, whoever you are.  Cuz if you touch my squadmate again I'm gonna feed you the one you lay on her."  The grizzled old man hits his harness release and drops to the deck with a solid thud of work boots on steel.  "Your call.  I'd just as soon get back to work, but I can spare a minute to kick your ass out the nearest airlock if you feel froggy."
42
Buliwyf carefully eases his battered machine into its dock, ensuring all the clamps are sealed before popping his cockpit and climbing free.  He stretches and twists, a few popping sounds coming from his back and shoulders, before slipping into a mechanics harness and beginning the slow inspection of his baby.  "Not sure how much power that sumbitch had at his disposal, but I haven't been thrown around like that since we hauled in that school of Arcturian megasharks..." The grizzled old fisherman grumbles almost as much as the framework of his machine as he covers every inch of her, checking for damaged or weakened parts.

Xun sees Hogarth challenged to a duel of unarmed combat, and takes his hand away from his sword hilt.  He folds himself to the ground, legs crossed, and begins preparing a pout of hot water as Rhyhorn stokes the fire.  Somebody is going to need hot compresses and stitches when this is all said and done... and there is always time for tea.
44
Doesnt make much difference to Xun, really.  Stopping in villages will let him tend his priestly duties of the sick and injured, but he's not going to force people to stop if they dont want.
45
Xun takes this all in with a sort of detached calm.  And when nobody asks the one rather obvious question, he is left to do so.  "What sort of dangers along the way?  We travel much to new place, go through many area.  Any warnings you can give?"
46
Xun returns to the inn the following morning, only to discover his allies have seemingly all left for the moment.  Pausing a moment to request a kettle of hot water from the serving girl, he takes a seat at a table with a good view of the room and waits.  For now there is tea, and the journey will resume as time demands and his compatriots return.
47
"Please, give my room to N'zla.  i will not be staying here tonight.  I have much to attend to."  Xun bows to his friends.  "I will see you all in the morning, yes.  We go talk to man who hired us then."  The young priest gathers up his red robes and heads for the door, pack and cookpot firmly in hand.
48
"That is excellent thought, fire spirit.  It only does us good to cultivate reputation of honor."  XUn does not point out that he has said this already, previously.  He is just surprised that one of the others managed to reach the same conclusion so quickly.
49
Xun raises an eyebrow quietly at the ranting Hogarth and shakes his head, saddened by her ignorance.  Perhaps one day he might be able to teach her something of the truth about magic, but now was not the time.  He quietly prayed that she was not the typical example of her people, lest all of his peoples stories about the grace and wisdom of the pointy-eared folk seem... mistranslated.
50
The priest in the crimson robe runs a hand over his shaved head.  "Not see why we would kill this man.  You have contract, yes?  We follow contract, give him items he requested, everything else is ours.  Not complicated."
51
Xun finishes his morning katas, wiping the frosty condensation from his blade and returning the bastard sword to its sheath with an oddly ritualized folding motion.  "There is coffee, Hogarth.  It is steeping now.  He gestures at a large metal pot sitting on a heated stone before hooking a much smaller kettle from the embers and settling into a seated lotus position and beginning to pour himself a cup of tea.  "Also plenty of stew from last night, for breakfast."
52
Xun spends a few moments building up the campfire for better heat before reaching into his backpack and producing a metal tripod.  This goes over the fire, then his metal cookpot gets suspended from it.  Humming faintly under his breath in the odd harmonies of his homeland, he then pulls out tightly sealed and wrapped ingredients, cutting them up as needed and adding them to the pot.  Before long, the smell of a thick, savory stew is rising from the pot.  He moves the tripod away from the fire so it wont scorch and takes a bowl for himself, sitting cross-legged on a flat stone.  "Hard work in cave.  All eat stew.  Very good for restoring energy."

He also pulls a small calligraphy set from his pack, using the ink to touch up the markings on his blade.
53
Xun sighs and follows the insane elf warrior, his fingers drawing a quick pattern in his forehead to close his wounds.

1) Rune of Mending on self
2) Follow the elf
3) Aid Another on Hogarth
4) Held to counterattack if we run into more enemies.
54
Xun stays close to the pixie while she works her magic, and then nods at her.  "Stay safe, I go protect Hogarth."  The slender Corithonian speeds down the corridor, blade already whirling.

1) Aid Ally on Yvonne
2) Retrieve magic torch on the way as I...
3-4) Catch up to Hogarth and Aid Another on her.
55
Xun nods at the pixie.  "You be careful, yes?  I go, help Hogarth."  And he slips away, quickly pacing down to stand beside the fierce elf woman.

1-4) Holding actions for Aid Another and deflecting any projectiles that might try to get past him to any of his friends.
56
Xun flicks his torch back the way they came.  "Tired of fighting things that hide in the dark.  Now you shoot them easier."

1) toss torch back down the hallway.
2-4) Aid Another on closest allies to boost their defenses.
57
Xun looks at the gate and frowns, waiting to see if Hogarth's efforts with the lock yield any results.  When he hears the strange thing speak, he raises an eyebrow in surprise.  "We not here to hurt you.  We here for goblins and treasure."

1-4) Hang out, watch for ambushes from the rear, and see if I can spot a trigger for the gate.
58
Xun follows the others, sword at the ready.

1-4) following along, ready to stab the crap out of anything that comes within melee range.
59
Xun nods, speaking quietly.  "Hogarth good fighter, we be OK together.  You all go, protect Rhyhorn."  His fingers absently trace over the blade of his sword, feeling the faint runes scored in the metal.  "Need him OK to pull cart, take back Elia."
60
Xun heads over and looks around the bend to the west, blade held in his hands.

1) move to H15
2-4) held actions to attack any enemies that come close
