Mithadan's Post

Ancalimon stepped forward and gently pushed Piosenniel to the side. He lifted Mithadan's tunic to reveal a wide rent which had been slashed through his mail. Below that were two wounds, the first a cut across his abdomen nearly six inches in length, and the second, smaller as if from
the stab of a knife. Ancalimon explored the Man's injuries with a grave look upon his face, ignoring the commotion around him. Then he opened Mithadan's eyes and gazed into them for a time. He leaned back with a sigh.

"He has lost much blood but neither wound has penetrated to his vitals," he said. "They must be cleaned and then bound tightly to stop the bleeding."

Elves lifted the Man and carried him to a cabin below where Ancalimon stripped him of his cloak, mail and shirt and poured clean water on and around the wounds and then bound them tightly. Then he stood and backed away.

"He will need rest," said Ancalimon. "He is strong and possessed of a great will to live. He may yet survive..."
