Unless O'Connor kept walking, they are behind the cabin.

I seriously doubt he is yelling, but I would be quite surprised if his jumping didn't aggravate his ribs :)

I assume just about everything aggravates his ribs, it just gets tedious having to mention it every single post.

He came to a stop.

For the purposes of American geography, cities and suburbs, my OOC knowledge is relatively slim. ???

Also, I thought we were further east somehow.

Let me Google that for you, without being a dick about it:

Yakima is in the central south end of the state, Tacoma and Seattle are in the northwest, on Puget Sound

Until I went to the Yakima Proving Grounds in the Army, I had no idea it was there either.

I'll admit, I only know from reading the Seattle 2074 sourcebook - my American geographical knowledge doesn't generally cut down to that scale.

From what I've googled, Yakima-Seatle is 142 miles.  But we first have to get to Yakima of course.

Damn completely slipped my mind that I can default on first aid.

What modifiers would I have?

Okay, I am gonna be a little snarky here, but afterwards I have a serious question, so stay tuned.

Yep, you can default on first aid to logic, within 12 hours of receiving the wound, and if magical healing has not yet been applied, there probably would have been modifiers at the time, such as having inadequate supplies, of course that could have been negated if there was something useful laying around like gauze pads and duct tape.

Okay, if you made it this far, serious question time: it says in the skill description you can default first aid, but under using first aid it says you can heal damage only equal to the skill rating.  WASSUPWITDAT?

It's so that even without first aid skill, you can diagnose more than "he's been hurt". (legit application of the first aid skill)
Also;

If the character is untrained, she can still make the test using her own attribute and the device’s rating in place of her skill.

Would you allow someone skilled in first aid to make a fresh attempt after a critical glitch hurts a patient further?

Also;

That's indeed true.  Even if you haven't had a first aid course, you can still say 'I think he has a broken leg' after you feel that you can move said leg into directions it was not meant to go (whether your patient will like you doing that is something else of course  ;D ).

So in our case we had magical healing by Heron (If I recall correctly on page 4 or 5 of the IC thread) and if I read the rules correctly, that should be all O'Connor can receive.  The rest will either have to heal all by itself or by long-term treatment in a hospital, using the medicine skill.

from the base book on healing:
First Aid may only be applied to a character once (for that set of wounds), and it may not be applied if the character has been magically healed.
AND from the basebook on the health spell:
A character can only be magically healed once for any single set of injuries.

Please tell me the A on that map isn't our location.  :(
Ok so played around with Google maps a little. If A is our current position then Yakima is about 120 miles (200km) away and Seattle (City center) is about 160 (260km) if we use I-90 (If I remember correctly all the smaller roads are gone). The sound  is about 175 miles (280km) away from our current position. So yeah... In the middle of BFE.  :o
Being from the east coast I had no idea we were so far out from Seattle. This is fun.  ;D

(Johnny still has the two boxes of physical damage he started the game with in case any mage wants to magically fix him up. :) )

No, we're much closer to Yakima. Crossbow's link was just to "Washington State", so Google picked the rough center of the state to drop the pin.

This would be a bit more useful to look at, though I'm just highlighting Yakima and the docks in Tacoma; we're somewhere in the mountains west of Yakima (I think someone said Yakima's NE of our current location, but I'm too lazy to go verify that right now).

And for those who haven't been to Seattle in 2072, I've found this map to be pretty damn useful.

well if I remember my OOC knowledge correctly then O'Connor started with damage so he can be healed again for that set of injuries. Same with Johnny.

@Gorean Doesn't it matter if its been longer then 12 hours for first aid or are you talking about more magical healing? Also nobody ever healed Johnny to begin with.

@Thvor: thats what i was hoping but just wanted to be sure.
