So, It Begins: III

[gothwalk]

In the growing light, you can see other people - other creatures - around you. Each of them is fastened by strapping and buckles into niches in the stone walls of the passageways. You do recognise some of them as allies, but others are unknown to you. Some are moving, some look to still be unconscious. It's time, you feel, to do something, to serve your King in some way.

Do you:

In a situation like this, I'd lean towards a more martial way of dealing with it: personal body, arms, and equipment check first above all else, then figuring out what's going on and helping others into or out of wherever we need to be. Sometimes the best way to help everyone is to help yourself and get to a full personal operational capacity before helping anyone else; if you don't and you hurt yourself worse than you might already be in a rush to get to others, suddenly there are *two* incapacitated people instead of just one and the whole regiment/division/etc suffers for it. A familiar example in the civilian world:

"In the event of a loss of cabin pressure, four oxygen masks will descend from the overhead panel above your seats. Affix the mask to your mouth and nose using the elastic strap and fully extend the tubing. Though the oxygen will be flowing, the bag may not inflate. If you are travelling with someone who may need help, secure your own mask before assisting others."
