Ever had something happen to you in Gemstone that made you think you were going to die, but by some stroke of luck you didn't?
This happened to me today. I had caught a couple boils somehow from an elder tree spirit (I'm more than 10 levels above them), and had a broken leg. So I go west a few rooms to tend it before I leave, because the RT I get from tending is usually 5 seconds at most, being fully trained in FA. At this point I only had 100 hp left, so a good boil or two would have probably done me in.

[Abandoned Farm, Field]
A fallen apple tree spans a steep, icy ravine, and snow blankets the ground evenly, hiding any and all traces of undergrowth or life. A small boulder pokes its top out of the clean, white snow, as if struggling from being smothered. You also see a rusted pitchfork.

You put a platinum nugget in your imperial-styled greatcloak.
You remove a heavy-bladed spiked vultite waraxe from in your leather weapon harness.

After some effort you manage to stop the bleeding.

An elder tree spirit does not look as docile as it did just a moment ago.
You sigh.
