Is there any chance to save them?

Adi is still alive

As you reach the bottom of the slope, your heart sinks as you see Nell lying lifeless on the ground. The metallic stench of blood fills your nostrils. As you check for a pulse, you notice that his body is already cooling. Adi is still clinging to life, but he is no longer conscious. You know that moving him from the branch impaling his body would likely cause more harm than good. Determined to save him, you focus your mind and begin to chant a healing spell, placing your hands on his battered form. Slowly, his breathing steadies and the bleeding begins to slow.

With great care, you break the branch and lower Adi to the forest floor. His body is covered in scratches and bruises, but you can see that the wound caused by the branch is severe. Steeling yourself, you pull it out, causing fresh blood to gush from the wound. But with another round of chanting and careful manipulation, you manage to seal the wound.

Turning to Nell's lifeless form, you quickly strip off his backpack and clothes, **** for any means of survival. His tattered tunic falls down to your knees when you put it on, stained with dried blood that speaks of his final moments. Gathering up both Adi's and Nell's bedrolls, you create a makeshift bed on the forest floor. With gentle hands, you move Adi onto the bed and begin to undress him, covering his shivering body with a blanket.

Draping another blanket over yourself, you lay next to Adi and hold him close as sleep overtakes both of you. The sounds of rustling leaves and distant cries fade away as you sleep through the night.

What's next?
