[IC] The Cult of Brannulv

[Izzarra]

"Yes, you stab, it heals."

---

The sword of warning does not reply.

[Zergrinch]

"Can you use it all the time? How much does it cost?"

[Xihirli]

"Good news, everyone! Nothing bad will happen!" Lana said cheerfully.

[Valmark]

Seeing that the conversation had died down, Ghiso started counting the equivalent of 200 gold.
"We'd like to buy the Sword of Warning, please. Oh and sell the potions, right"

[Izzarra]

Yuri tells Zarron "Dagger can be used at any time for stabbing. Healing, only a few times per day. Is 1000 gold"

---

He sells Ghiso the sword for the 200 gold

Which potions are you planning on selling?

[Zergrinch]

Zarron's eyes widen and his ears droop noticeably.

" Thank you for the information sir. Unfortunately it's priced a little bit above our budget."

[Valmark]

Since Zarron wants to keep hold of the unstable potions I'd say only the one of Ooze Breathing.

"Good to make business with you" Ghiso took the sword, turning to the group "I already have a magical sword, so it should be someone else to hold this. Though we can talk as we go, I'll check for its exact properties first chance we get"

[Xihirli]

"See anything you like?" Lana asked Taara.

[Zergrinch]

Zarron shoots another covetous look at the dagger before finally slinking out of the store.

OOC: I don't have anything else to do in Qsen. Ready to move on.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Taara looked out over the magic items, before nodding and pointing at Lana, then kissing her cheek.

OOC: also ready to move on.

[Izzarra]

Having finished all of the errands you wished to complete in Qsen you head out. It takes around a day and a half to get to Tamor.

Do you want to do anything in Tamor or fast forward to the tower on the other side of the cave?

[Xihirli]

"Look!" Lana declared, pointing. "A land horse!"

[Zergrinch]

Zarron immediately heads towards the armorer in Tamor Town, eager to finally upgrade his armor to the fine bit of dwarven craftsmanship that he looted from the cave.

[Valmark]

"Didn't you have goblin buddies? Maybe you should check on them" Ghiso told the others- but for his part he went to make the Town Portal ritual, not having anything else to do.

Yeah we can fast forward for me.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Taara chuckled. "Yes, that is a land horse. Not as pretty as you when you are one, but still beautiful. Looks forlorn in a saddle, though."

[Xihirli]

"I can't even talk to them," Lana says about the goblins. "But I hope they're doing well."

A gasp arose thinking about all the animals. "We should free all the animals from captivity!" She realizes.

[Fay]

While the group were in a town Rose decided to take a moment and walk around the place and see what it was like. And maybe see if there were any fruit trees or berry bushes to grab a free lunch from.

[Izzarra]

Having recovered from the plague, the surviving population of Tamor are very busy getting their town back together salvaging what they can from the fields that were destroyed by the rats.

---

In the tanners Zarron is able to get the resized armor.

---

Lana and Taara watch the only surviving farm animal in the town, lone mule.

---

Looking around Rose finds that the fields are in rather bad shape considering it is mid summer and there should be plenty of crops ready to harvest.

[Xihirli]

Lana approaches the Land Horse and speaks to it in Sylvan. "Excuse me, Mister Land Horse. You may not remember me, but I saw you a long while ago. You made me happy, and I want to make you happy. Is there something you want right now?"

[Fay]

Rose came wandering back to the group after a while. "This place is so...barren. Does anyone know what's wrong? It's not supposed to be like this, is it?"

[Zergrinch]

"This is ground zero of the plague, Miss Rose," Zarron says softly as he starts stroking the mane of Benjamin the town donkey.

[Fay]

Rose looked around. "Could you tell me more about this plague? Are we at risk being here?"

[Zergrinch]

Rose looked around. "Could you tell me more about this plague? Are we at risk being here?"

"There were a bunch of cultists who were throwing bodies into the aquifer and desecrating it. Whoever drank the water downstream became sick. But we beat the cultists up and Tamor's now recovering from the plague. We're not at risk anymore, unless the cultist who escaped tries again."

[Fay]

Rose took a few steps towards the river. "Is there a way to check for sure that this escaped cultist hasn't started doing something like that again?"

She knelt down near the river but still a couple steps away and looked intently at it, as if a stern gaze could make some hidden disease reveal itself. "Actually, there might be a way. I'm able to magically detect disease but I cannot currently channel it, I'd need to time to rest and meditate, perhaps create some art, to make the spell clear in my mind again." Rose was at this point perhaps talking more to herself than to Zarron but still loud enough that he could hear.

[Zergrinch]

The bard shrugs. "Not really, unless you have a way to scry on others."

[Fay]

Rose shrugged. "I do not. I suppose I was just worried that the water had already been infected."

She then stood up again and took a few steps away from the river.

[Izzarra]

The mule tells Lana that the bug are annoying and that it would like to go somewhere with better food.

The paddock it is in is rather barren.

[Xihirli]

Lana smiled and ten pear-sized fruits grow out of her staff. She offers one to the mule. "You can come with me! I can help you with the bugs and feed you these!"

Goodberry

[Zergrinch]

"We cleaned the water, but that was a while ago. Maybe we should check up on her."

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Taara giggled and stroked the mule's neck. She kept an eye on Zarron and Rose, smiled at Ghiso, and then hugged Lana close, kissing her on the cheek. "Let's go," she said with a cute grin.

Sorry for holding the game back, if we could move on to the valley that would be great
