INJURIES: If your character was injured, they'll find that they're... still injured. The severity of it might be different, depending on how badly you want your character to run the risk of bleeding to death, I suppose! If your character's mouth was sewn shut, it's up to you whether or not the fishline is still there, keeping their mouth shut. If your character had another face put over their own like a mask, they'll find that the face is missing, but their own face is still covered in burns and blood.
ITEMS: If your character picked up anything, they have it outside the labyrinth! Guns, bombs, bandannas, knives... you name it. They'll all be in top condition, too. If the bomb's ever set off, it won't cause a HUGE explosion, but it'll definitely be enough to do some damage and get some attention.
REWARDS: Everyone has an "IOU" in their pocket. Just, literally a sheet of paper with IOU written on it. Sorry about that. Sucks.
MISSING BODY PARTS: Specifically Van, Mao, and Owain: you'll each find a specialized note taped to the door of your room at the inn...
Van,
I heard what happened, and I could not believe it. For you, a favor. I can grant you a new ear, an exact replica to replace the one that had been taken from you. I'm afraid that, in order to do this, in order to have the willpower that will complete this, you must please hear out the problems of at least three people with the ear you still have. It is not necessary to resolve their problems, though it would be thoughtful, it is not necessary. Listening is enough. Hear out their worries, their concerns, the things they stress—their emotional baggage, if you will. When you have completed this task, take a writing utensil and drawl a swirl on this very paper. In the moment following, your ear will return.
Perhaps, someday, we will meet.
Signed, H.M.M.

Mao,
I saw the results of what happened, and I am struck with grief. I have for you a favor. You see, I can grant you a new eye, one exactly like the one that was taken from you. I'm afraid that this does not come for free, a choice I did not make on my own, and I do not wish to charge you, rather, I wish for you to supply the willpower necessary to recreate your eye by observing with your remaining eye what others are capable of. Have three people demonstrate their talents, their abilities, or their prized skills, and observe carefully and understand what this means to them. You are not required to learn from it, though it would be quite intriguing, but worry none at all, you are not. Once you have done this, take any writing utensil and draw a circle on this very piece of paper, then a smaller one within. Following this sequence, your eye will return to you once more.
Perhaps, someday, we will meet.
Signed, H.M.M.

Owain,
I cannot believe what I have seen with my own two eyes. Please, accept my favor. You see, or no, you cannot see, allow me to continue, I am able to return both of your eyes to you as good as new. Unfortunately, most unfortunately, this is not free, a rule I did not determine in order to be cruel, but a rule I determined because I will require willpower from you to make it so. All you need to do is ask three people what inspires them, what gives them hope, what keeps their life aflame. Perhaps, this could serve as an inspiration to you, but do not feel guilt if their inspirations are different from your own. Once you have completed this, tear this very paper into two pieces and crumple them into your fists. Immediately, you will "see" what you have done with your own two eyes—you will have them once more.
Perhaps, someday, we will meet.
Signed, H.M.M.
**Note: Owain's letter is the kind that, upon being touched, will magically "insert" the words into your head—you'll hear the letter in your own voice.
ADDITIONALLY, if you find that this task drags on and you'd rather not in the end, it's TOTALLY fine to handwave/offscreen that your characters addressed some townsfolk instead. Their stuff will be very plain and simple though. Concerns like "I forgot to let my dog out last night..." and talents like "I can touch my tongue with my nose," and inspiration like "The apple I left sitting out last night." I. Yeah. Your fellow explorers could be more interesting than that. Otherwise, your characters can ignore this or put it off.
