Celephai twirled the disc on one finger, smiling quietly behind the rest of them. At least they were useful in the capacity of a meat shield: Doing all of the dirty work for her while she did the comparatively easy job of holding onto a hazardous object.
Francine ignored the others and stepped forward, gingerly examining Antonio's arm.
We can fix this. She gestured to the tower.
Go inside and get the Professor. We'll keep ST here and fix him too. Stay after, Antonio, and we'll see to it that you get a new arm.

"I sure hope so.. Or at least a lot of money to cover this bloody mess.." Antonios voice was angry and he sounded rather harsh. "One dead.. And one crippled.. For a darn circle.. I hope it was worth it for you.."
The Professor took the circle from Celephai, and held it reverentially, nearly breathless.
Yes....yes it is worth it. He looked up, suddenly growing serious. His voice took on an edge.
Francine, put the ent in the floral bath until he comes to. Antonio, let's get you upstairs to Surgery. Orp and Celephai, you may stay for the operation or take your reward and go. Your choice.
(If you go now, take Orp gets 5 acclaim and Cel gets 4, only because she wasn't there for any of the second half. You both get 75$ for being patient, unless you wanted an item. If so, post ICly and the Prof will give you something. Antonio, you also get 5 for being a trooper and 75$, as well as an arm replacement which we'll RP through. Cipher, if you get back and read this, you also get 5 acclaim and 75$, and just post here when you get back. We'll RP though you coming back to life then.)
My boy, it will be better than your old one. You are a swordsman, yes?

Francine walked in. The room Short Trunk was in was dark and clinical. Francine lit a lantern along the opposite wall. She sighed and put on some gloves, dressed in the scrubs they'd seen her in earlier.
Don't worry sir, I'm a trained surgical botanist. We'll have to back together in no time.
She opened a toolbox that was full of nasty-looking gardening tools.
Well, we can make sure you're on the top of your game.
They reached a room that Antonio and Orp hadn't noticed was there before. It was clean and sterile, with a long flat bed on a raised platform in the middle.
Lay down there. Orp, grab me the tools from the bench against the wall.
