Clyde underwent treatment for several days under the intensive care of the fortress healers. The wounds across his body gradually closed under repeated applications of healing magic, but the deeper damage within his muscles and organs took considerably longer to recover.
Mina, Sean, Connor, and Ray were still unconscious throughout most of that time.
