You can use Medicine to restore Hit Points to a living, wounded creature. This takes 1 minute, and the DC is based on the medical equipment used. If you succeed at the check, you restore 1 Hit Point per level or CR of the creature you are treating. If you exceed the DC by 5 or more, you add your Intelligence modifier to the amount healed. A creature can receive this treatment only once every 24-hour period, unless it is delivered in a medical lab. Most medical labs allow you to treat a creature’s deadly wounds at least twice per day.
Vetch looks over the red shirts wounds after Dash uses all the healing serums on him.
"C'mere, we can't allow your ysokilings to grow up without a Dad. Lemme see your wounds."

Vetch, after the injuries are tended, will follow and explore.
Noticing Vetch trying to patch up his cousin, Dash considers taking over, but is curious to see what happens first.

Dash tries to patch the young interpreter up but ends up hurting him more than healing him. "You sure you know what you're doing?" He stands to go and read the words pointed out by Dash.
Each of you feel the same fuzzy feeling take over your minds but quickly shake it off. Something seems a little off and mesmerizing by the beautiful violet blossoms attached to the Rune Obelisk.
Vetch is the only one that notices something more, something hidden among the vines. Something living.
The Interpreter continues to move towards the Obelisk to read the hidden Elven runes. As the interpreter draws near the vines begin to move and unravel. Standing almost 12 feet tall and weighing nearly 2000 lbs stands a large plant-like creature. A pair of violet blossom lures hang from it's body as numerous sets of 'jaws' snap from all around.

Dash recognizes the large plant as a Vracinea. Dash knows that any living creature within 120 feet of one of these plants becomes drawn towards the violet blossoms. Almost fascinated to the point that they have been known to offer zero resistance to being attacked or eaten by one.
The vracinea is one of many plant predators that evolved in the lush jungles of Castrovel. Standing almost 12 feet tall, a typical vracinea weighs 2,000 pounds. Usually, a vracinea lies motionless in wait for its next meal, covering itself with vines and leaving only its blossom lures visible. Once its mesmerized prey has gotten close, the vracinea bursts forth from its camouflage. If a victim manages to shake off the effects of the vracinea’s paralyzing scent and escape, the vracinea pursues it for only a short time.
Vracineas are solitary and territorial creatures. When two vracineas see one another, they often charge at each other, quickly becoming locked in a struggle of gnashing teeth until one falls dead or retreats to nurse its wounds. Botanists aren’t sure of the mechanisms behind a vracinea’s blossom lures. Some believe the flowers vibrate at a subatomic level, stimulating a target’s subconscious desires.
Vetch quickly steps back and draws his pistol as the Vracineas detaches itself and slowly moves towards the Interpreter. The Ysoki turns around with a look of horror on his face as he mouths. "Why me?" towards the groups.
The interpreter turns and runs away from the plant as he dives behind a crumbling wall.
As the Vracineas claws its way across the ground the Stingbats begin to hoot and holler even more than before. “kau-kar-eeee-keeee” They quickly establish a new pecking order and set aside any captured valuables before four of them descend to attack as their peers scream encouragement from the branches. Three drop down and quickly surround Vetch as the fourth drops near Abe.

Messalina flies down from her perch in the air and lands in position to help the interpreter.
”Vetch, duck!” Dash runs toward the ysoki, reaching out to grab nearby energy. A sudden chill rushes through everyone like a shot of ice water into their veins. Powered technology flickers. Dash directs his energy, exciting molecules and creating a wave of searing heat in the air.

Hearing Dash move into action, Zane keeps a partial eye out on what Dash is doing. Moving towards the frey and taking on the 3 stingbats. He'll probably need some support.
He moves a bit against the fallen tree using the butt of Bubba to crack a few limbs to help provide some added side cover from possible enemies (none yet- but enemies will certainly see The Zane as the biggest threat in a minute and start to attack).

Finding himself surrounded before he even has a chance to get settled, Vetch bolts away from his attackers.

Vetch bolts away from the stingbats just as his racial cousin did with the Vracineas. Dash draws all the heat from his weapons and sends a wave of searing heat into 2 of the stingbats.
The stingbats screech in pain as their fur is melted away. The Zane levels Bubba and fires. His aim gets thrown off as his Azimuth Artillery Laser burns into a nearby branch.
Using His laser rifle Abe bores a small hole through the blue-eyes stingbats shoulder.
The Vracineas slowly plods along, the venus flytrap-like jaws snapping shut periodically.
The wounded and angered Stingbats dive in at Abe and Dash.

Moving away from the slow plodding Plant thing. The Zane takes advantage of the fact that he is un-entangled to reposition and fire on the Stingbats. The flames looked to burn a little fur, but hopefully a blaster bolt puts one on the dirt. He takes aim at Blue and bellows.

”Get off me!” he shouts at the monkey as he steps back (guarded step) and shoots again (blue).
Oblivious to danger, Messalina shoots at the giant plant-thing.
”Ow, sh!t! OW! SH!T!!”
The stings hurt, but luckily Dash’s Android body candle handle the venom.
Dash takes a step back and concentrates. A moment later three versions of him step forward, growing taller, claws springing from their hands - or rather, the holographic hands of the images. The real Dash has crouched down to make himself hopefully less noticeable behind his mutant gang.

Vetch fires on one of the many Stingbats surrounding Dash, burning it further.
Dash's android body fights off the poison, though it still burns away at his circuitry a tiny bit.
Dash ejects a series of images replicating himself, each taller than the last.
The Zane moves to help Abe and burns a couple of fingers off of the blue eyed stingbat.
Abe leaps back but the poison has already taken it's course in his bloodstream.
Abe fires his rifle, catching the Stingbat in the face.It collapses against the tree roots, unmoving. Messalina's shot fires into the dirt.
The Vracineas clamors over the wall as it continues it's slow object to a fresh meal. As it draws near Abe, Zane and Dash smell a very sweet scent in the air.
The stingbats stab their tails into Dash's holographic image.
Two of the stingbats screech in frustration as hey see right through Dash's images.

Dash smells something... and it doesn’t smell good.
The beautiful and sweet smell floats in the air, and The Zane breathes it in. His brain revolts from the attack it tries to do on his nervous system and releases mega doses of Testosterone. His body starts to shake like a 9 yer old with a sugar rush.
His pecs bounce up and down. Up and down.
He levels the laser blasts off two shots. One at each of the wounded creatures.
Full of vim and vigor, The Zane bellows, You are witnessing inevitability!
A statement said as if to his enemies, his new companions, the jungle, and the world.

The Zane gets trigger happy as he lays two clean shots on the kaukarikis. His first shot clips into the kaukarikis side while his second shot burns a hole clean through the second kaukarikis chest. It's fur catches fire but it is already too late as the Stingbat collapses to the ground, smoldering and burning.
As the Zane is focuses on his accuracy he fails to notice the Vracineas crept so close and takes a bite at him.
The plant grabs ahold of Zane as he fires his cannon and it's stalks end up drawing a good chunk of blood from his arm.

But he's not daunted by the situation. Giving PAIN is in his job description. Sometimes you have to take the pain to get into better fighting position.
Oh Greenie, you should have waited your turn in line and not skipped ahead. Now you are point blank for Bubba.

Vetch and Dash both fire on either side of the Vracineas. Each shot removes a whipping vine that drags it along. The interpreter runs away from the Vracineas and finds a battered static arc rifle laying in the high grass. Probably from one of the Vracineas last meals. He picks it up and waves it in the air. "Look what I found!"
The Vracineas lurches forward at Vetch, biting at the Ysoki.
The Vracineas clamps down on Vetch's leg as the vines drag and constrict. As the Vracineas draws ever closer to him Vetch begins to smell the sweet odor.
The interpreter runs in and fires at the plant with his battered rifle.
The electricity causes the vines to convulse as Vetch feels a small tingle coarse through his small frame.

Messalina also shoots again.

”What the f@#%...” Dash stares at the young intern interpreter laying waste with a rusty BFG. He wonders if Qabarat University offers some sort of educational fund for special forces military soldiers. ”You’ve been holding out on us kid!”
Seeing Vetch about to become plant fertilizer, Dash pulls the trigger on his arc pistol as fast as he can...

Great shot! You did wonders with that Arc rifle.
Then he thinks to himself. Come-on Zane. You got ta get a shot in better than THAT GUY. Or, at least put some pain on that thing and share the glory.
Aiming through the scope, he says:
Open Wide. Open Wide

Vetch freezes in places as only his eyes move, searching out those he can for aid.
Dash fires his arc pistol as quick as he can but the recoil tosses his aim off enough to miss everything around him.
Using his scope the Zane steadies his breathing and does indeed get a better shot than that guy! His cannon blasts right into the center of the plant.
As the interpreter seems to have reinvigorated the groups battle prowess Abe lines up his shot with the slow moving plant and burns through the mass as well. The vines begin to slowly twitch and come to a halt as they fall loosely to the ground. A bright green liquid seeps from the wounds.
The interpreter comes to Vetch. "You alright?" He holds out the Semi-Tactical Pistol. "Found this laying in the grass over there by the Obelisk."
With the vracineas defeated the remaining kaukarikis howl in fear and clamber about the understory in distress.
About 30 feet south of the obelisk lies a torn estex suit I. The armor is now worthless as it looks to have been tattered and tossed aside by the vracineas last meal.
Laying northeast foliage adjacent to the obelisk is a rifle with a firm weighted grip and a canister of coolant attached to the bottom of the barrel (Frostbite class zero rifle) and a silvery credstick holding 290 credits. The scratched rifle's battery looks to be rupture from the jaws of something as chemicals leak all down the sides.

Seeing the plant go down, Zane exhalts.
YEAH BOY! That is some bad-mamba-jamba action The Zane just put on.
He gives a stare at The Kaukarikis. Picks up the floppy body on one of the dead Stingbats, and spikes it down into the ground!
His legs start moving, and his knees flexing, and his hips start gyrating. In mid pelvic thrust, He says,
GET BACK!
Knowing that the flying monkeys are properly cowed-- Zane finishes his war dance.
Vetch gets up to inspect the wound on his leg.
"Yeah, I'll be fine in a few minutes," Vetch replies to redshirtsharpshot. "Dang thing didn't break the skin, but nicked me pretty good. I'll be fine." Vetch gets to his feet, taking a moment to examine the plant.
Vetch takes his time to get himself right before going over to search around for gear. He brings back what he finds to Abe.
"I think the battery is broken. Don't think you can fix that, can you?"
When others are ready and healed, Vetch will try to pick up the trail again.

While Vetch is resting The interpreter wanders by the Obelisk. He shifts a few of the vines to the side. "“Loskialua, monastery of starsong, embassy of the spheres, and Temple of the Twelve.” Fragmentary notes also include mentions of paying respect, messengers from beyond, an academy, and “interpreters of the beacon.”
As the Zane spikes the deceased Kaukarikis, the rest of the pack seem to calm a bit as they back away further into the jungle.

Abe looks at the rifle, "No I can't fix the battery I don't think, and it requires a 40 capacity battery to function." "I don't have one of those at present, so we'll have to wait to use this piece of work. Though it is very nice..." he eyes the weapon wondering if it's enough of an improvement over his laser rifle. Moot point until we get a battery for it, but it is nice.
He examines Messalina, and suggests, "She's hurt pretty bad, can anyone give me a bit of mending at least while we rest?"
He too will spend a resolve, and repair what he can of the damage while he does so.
After he's rested and ready to proceed he nods at the interpreters reveal. "So did the others go in here? Is this where the trail ends?" he asks Vetch.
Dash gives his plastic smile at Zane’s footbat spike. Heading over to the Vracineas, he says, ”Who wants stingbat salad tonight?”
As Vetch starts to head out again Dash holds him up. ”Don’t you think we should.. you know.. maybe Starfinder this b!tch?” He points at the obelisk.

Vetch looks at the Clank.
"Don't you gapborn think you could be bothered to mend Abe's bot? Why don't you do that and I'll 'starfinder that b%!!&', whatever the gapcrash that means. I have no idea."
Vetch joins the interpreter in making notes about the obelisk and vid-doccing the experience.
He just lurks around the area. making certain people are safe. he has NO INTEREST in the runes . But he does make a chalk mark on his big gun. Bubba has a big time kill notched.

Given time to observe the Obelisk Vetch begins to realize what it truly is. Or rather was. This was a massive post that supported a now-missing observation deck. The outpost must have towered nearly 300 feet, peeking over the trees’ emergent layer and topped by an elaborate observation deck. Within a century of abandonment, however, the observation deck decayed and toppled from its lofty height, leaving behind only the stone post. But after millennia of erosion, even these runes have faded, barring a few sheltered inscriptions near the base.
The trail does not stop here as Vetch picks it back up leading further into the jungle. A Stingbat watches curiously in a tree over the trail as he munches on a piece of fig, slowly chewing.

Dash is pretty scratched up again, and takes some time to dress wounds, mend Messalina, and chuck a few figs in the direction of any loitering stingbats.
After taking a breather, Dash goes to look at the not-really-an-obelisk. ”And here I thought the elves had left something with an ancient message of profound f@#%ing importance. Instead, it’s a glorified f@#%ing treehouse. Those runes right here? I’m pretty they say SAFETY FIRST - Climb tower SLOWLY using both hands.”
Following Vetch, Dash keeps his Shirren eye-rifle in hand, sometimes bringing it up to scope in on a stingbat.
