... I'm willing to accept the poultice doing that in combination with some healing magic. It could be some exceptionally healing herb or something.
@Raineh Daze: my last post involved me talking to Sophia. Any response to that?
Again, I'm fine going through the dungeon one-armed. In-character, I'll try to make it as a challenge to the character to prove herself to the team. Who's bigger, badder, and more qualified than someone who can take on a dungeon with a broken and survive?
I'm also going to reason that the poultice is the setting's equivalent to ibuprofen and nothing else. Also, it was to my understanding that Sophia didn't have opposable thumbs to manipulate things with.
Also, is Marcus SUPPOSED to be unlikeable and condescending? He's really coming off that way.

You continue to call him Marcus. That is not his name.
He is being written as a typical knight in shining armor, with all the overly friendly and somewhat daft tendencies it implies. Should you wish to see him as unlikeable and condescending, that is your prerogative.
<Snipped quote by Boomrocker>
Fixed the name issue, it's late and fit his last name. >_>
Reassuring people that they can do something they're confident they can do is condescending. :/
<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>
And yet there are many comments about Sophia lacking confidence with her powers. A man with a kind word for everyone would of course try to boost the confidence of one who lacks it
Of course, if Marc Ferrus is mistaken, then he probably would come off as condescending without knowing it. But I attribute such things to him being daft.
Do you have any further concerns?
<Snipped quote by Boomrocker>
She lacks confidence in her ability to deal with mortal injuries. Not repair pre-set broken bones.
More importantly, Marc just randomly grabbed someone doing healing magic. Grabbing people during a delicate matter is generally not an advisable course of action. I would assume that doing it during any sort of healing action is a REALLY bad idea.
... also, wouldn't 'grab the shy person to reassure them' seem like a bad idea if he's supposed to be a kind person? She's not a stranger, so he'd know it's a bad idea. And if she WAS a stranger, it'd be rude in general. <_<
He patted her on the shoulder as he spoke.
