would love a channel to help me stabilize if anyone can spare one...

I don't think anyone has one left ... Mit'l doesn't. Well, the priests probably do!

I have on left, but no selective channel. Let me see what I can arrange.

The two priests seemed dismayed that their zombie troop is depleted. The first priest reads a scroll and an evil force begins to start healing his wounds slowly. The other steps back and attempts to induce Kelgan to flee.
