...damn, this wound's worse than I thought.  I expected to be able to rest it off, but it's definitely much more severe.

I can barely move my back at this point.  I don't like the idea of doing this, but I guess I'll have to have a bit of faith at this point.  It's either that or paralysis, and I've still got work to do.

... I don't have any useful remedies for such a thing. Or really, the ingredients necessary for the few I do know.

I take it your murderer is revived?

[eatin_ur_snakez]

So it seems. This whole moon fiasco threw me off-balance, and he must've snuck off in the mayhem.

Learned that he's got more tricks though.

[changeseason]

It was the perfect coincidence, he can't be faulted for it.

So it seems. Are you certain that flesh will heal?

[eatin_ur_snakez]

...hell, if I needed a distraction, I would have used the moon too. Terrible timing for me, but nothing can be done about that now.

Won't be sure until I try. As far as I could tell, he was disintegrating the flesh a layer at a time. It took him several minutes to make it that deep, though he was dragging it out on purpose.

[changeseason]

True enough. And I assume the item that was his is back in his possession, as well?

[eatin_ur_snakez]

Yeah. Though he's under the impression that I'm dead right now.

[changeseason]

An advantage. Are you going to take the item again?

[eatin_ur_snakez]

That's where it gets difficult. He's not likely to fall for another ambush, and I've got no way of knowing where he'll be at any given time.

[changeseason]

We can prioritize four possibilities, given what's already known, though pinpoint tracking will be a bit impossible, as you say.

[eatin_ur_snakez]

...the only way to draw him out that I'm almost certain may work is if I'm vulnerable to his attack.

[changeseason]

That's not a very good option. Granted, bait can be planted easily, but the question becomes how well we can keep him under wraps. This island's already shown that's not a likely possibility, with the tricks that get pulled.

[eatin_ur_snakez]

It's not a great plan, and I'm more than open to hearing better ones...but I'll do what I have to if it comes down to it.

[changeseason]

Something that might slow his pacing would be nice. There's no telling--I know too little of this man.

[eatin_ur_snakez]

Me too, apparently. And learning by example isn't going to get anyone very far.

[changeseason]

As irritating as it is, the defensive is the only approach until a clever solution is possible.

[eatin_ur_snakez]

So it would seem. I'll have to keep thinking on that until a better solution reveals itself. If you've got any input, I'm all ears.
