My shoulder is nicely healed by the time we find the others and make camp, maybe five hours later. You dont heal this quickly outside of a dungeon, but something about the air in here makes you regenerate, albeit very slowly. I know its possible to get more active regeneration, and Im planning to try at some point, but for right now, Im okay with one point coming back every ten minutes or so.
We run into the group near the edge of the forest, not far from the tower. As I thought, it is a big tower. Theres probably more space inside that tower than there was on the entire first floor of the dungeon.
From the look of them, the goon squad had a bit more difficulty on this level than they had on the first level, but not by much. A few dents and dings, some splashes of blood on armor, a chip in a weapon blade, that kind of thing. Nothing all that concerning.
