Is this a good way to use subsequently or should it be then?

During the fight, an arrow struck Alhana’s horse, and the elven woman was thrown and knocked unconscious after receiving a serious head injury. Porthios immediately went to Alhana’s aid; however, found he was unable to heal her. A mysterious priest subsequently appeared out of the forest and offered his aid to Porthios.

"subsequently" and "then" are both possible. For me, "then" feels more immediate. "subsequently" gives a feeling that some time may have elapsed.
