Hey! Whoa! Wait a minute there - before we get back to the depths I want to bust a cure on myself! I don't think that's unreasonable, seeing as how I'm down 8...
I roll a six, if you'll allow it. If not, that's what I'm doing first round, but if we've got a night's trek to a dangerous place, and I'm down more than half, I would argue that it's reasonable that I'd cure myself first.
Anyway. Just doing an initial strike on the arguements. I roll an 11 for initiative.
