"That won't be necessary, we just wanted to check up on him. If you guys are still interested in buying weapons for war, head to the Kishima complex in the capital and ask for transportation to the Nishikujou complex. My grandfather should meet with you regarding your order if you tell him Touka sent you. Any other questions about our smiths?"

by **InteroVegas** 2015-04-22, 19:32

Amos whispers to Touka "Damn, sorry about the wasted time here. I'll make a better effort to avoid these failed efforts next time."

"Uh, how long does it take for stuff to get here from...the Nishikujou complex?"

by **kaede** 2015-04-23, 10:17

"Well, took me a week by boat, you guys im sure you can afford other means of transportation, like spells and whatnot."

by **InteroVegas** 2015-04-24, 11:58

"He seems out of it, let's get a move on."

by **kaede** 2015-04-24, 12:22

She bows to the monk. "We've got to leave, Please tell Daliu we said hi." She then walks back down the mountain.

by **InteroVegas** 2015-04-24, 12:45

Amos follows.

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-04-24, 15:03

Amos and Touka jog down the hill. Several screams and a gunshot sound out.

by **kaede** 2015-04-24, 20:37

She stops and looks back at the village, more curious than worried at the gunshot. "Should we see what that was?"

by **InteroVegas** 2015-04-25, 17:57

"At least to know if we're in danger." Amos draws his sword.

by **kaede** 2015-04-25, 18:00

"Theoretically, there is none if they aren't letting people out of their but you never know." She draws her club and begins to head back up the hill.

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-04-25, 23:09

Another gunshot rings out as Touka proceeds up the hill. The monk is still standing in the same place.
"Hey, that's probably the recidivists breaking free. My warning still applies."

by **kaede** 2015-04-25, 23:18

Having never heard that word before, Touka looks blankly at him for a moment before speaking. "So your answer to that is shooting them?"

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-04-26, 00:17

He shrugs. "Maybe it's them shooting, I don't know. But if the villagers need me, I'll go help."

by **InteroVegas** 2015-04-26, 11:49

"Then let's move."

by **kaede** 2015-04-26, 22:41

She turns her head to Amos. "You wanna go in or leave?"

by **InteroVegas** 2015-04-27, 08:46

"You have business to do and I want to search for answers elsewhere. Let's leave before they drag us into more religious zeal."

by **kaede** 2015-04-27, 11:48

"Fine by me." She heads bwck down the hill. "Where to now?"

by **InteroVegas** 2015-04-27, 12:52

"The detour to Dorou didn't go well but I suppose we head along the path to the capital. The magical signature was positioned between Belle's Cross and the capital so we might as well start making headway towards your destination."

by **kaede** 2015-04-27, 13:10

She nods and follows his lead,

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-04-27, 21:46

The strange couple proceeds down the hill and from there spend a short walk getting to the north road. Amos is finally back on the track that begun so long ago. After about an hour or two of walking, they see a covered wagon stopped by the roadside up ahead. Several people are dashing to and from it.

by **InteroVegas** 2015-04-27, 21:48

Amos calls out to the people running to and from the wagon. "Is something the matter?"

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-04-27, 22:06

A plump woman wearing an apron over a blue dress answers him. "Please, are you a doctor or a healer? My husband and a friend have come down with a terrible disease, and we can't figure out what it is!"

by **kaede** 2015-04-27, 22:36

"I...guess i could be called a healer, what are his problems?"

by **InteroVegas** 2015-04-27, 23:49

Amos whispers to Touka "Probably just the paranoia and baseless fears speaking but I'd bet a rook he's coming down with ghoul."

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-04-28, 00:04

"He's coughing up blood and other humors, and feels itchy all over. He can't stop scratching!"

by **kaede** 2015-04-28, 00:13

"I see...I don't think I can really help them much, but I can make a drink that should keep them sedated and in comfort until you can get them to the city for treatment. Is that OK?"

by **InteroVegas** 2015-04-28, 01:27

"At least restrain him ... so that he doesn't hurt himself."

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-04-28, 08:26

"Yes please! And we're doing that."

by **kaede** 2015-04-28, 10:07

"Ok then, do you have a container that can hold water?"

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-04-28, 12:14

"Be right back." Some yelling and scurrying later, a crude wooden cup is handed to Touka.

by **kaede** 2015-04-29, 00:23

She takes the cup and looks around her for a source of water, if not finding one, she asks for enough water to fill the cup.

by **InteroVegas** 2015-04-29, 09:04

Amos simply stares with curiosity.

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-04-29, 23:21

There does not appear to be any source of water nearby. Touka receives a half filled wineskin.

by **kaede** 2015-04-30, 01:46

She walks away from the group keeping her back turned to them, when she is a fair distance away she pours the wineskin's contents into the cup and dips her hands into them, secreting a mixture of DMSO and some morphine into the water. When she is satisfied with how much is mixed, she removes her hand returns to the group, handing the cup over to the lady. "This is powerful stuff, spread only a little on their body, it should help them calm down for a few hours."

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-04-30, 23:18

"Really? Thank you!" She rushes over to the shaking wagon and steps inside. An argument seems to erupt between her and a man.
"What? From a stranger?"
"S-she said she was a healer!"
"And you believe that? Any charlatan can-"
"We've tried ev'rything save moving him. He's my husband, you can choose whether to treat Jorge."
"Fine..."

by **kaede** 2015-05-01, 00:30

"All I did was make some medication to relax them," She shouts to the arguing couple. "and if your worried about payment, don't. Now do you two need anything more from us or can we leave?"

by **InteroVegas** 2015-05-01, 00:58

"A word of caution by the way. I know not where you live but it would be smart to plan a trip further in land. Trouble is abound. Something strange is happening in Dorou and darkness marches from Enarou."

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-05-01, 10:49

"No shit," another man says as he rejoins the group. "We came from Enarou. And you can leave now."

by **InteroVegas** 2015-05-01, 13:56

"Sir, you offend. The lady here just provided care to your friend and now you push us away like vermin."

by **kaede** 2015-05-01, 17:06

"Be warned, the church will want to see you all, why I am not sure. Anyway have a nice day." She begins to leave the group.

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-05-02, 23:07

As Touka (and presumably Amos) walk away, they hear peculiar sounds:
"RR-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Male and female screams, and what sounds like several overripe grapes bursting.

by **kaede** 2015-05-02, 23:09

She turns back when she hears the screams, club drawn just incase of enemies.

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-05-02, 23:14

There do not appear to be any new entities or hostiles in the vicinity, but people are exiting the wagon in a hurry.

by **kaede** 2015-05-02, 23:15

"What's going on?!? Are your patients ok?"

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-05-02, 23:36

The mustached man Touka heard arguing climbs out.
"What did you do to him, you witch!?!" he shouts angrily. "That poison made Jorge, I don't know, explode?"

The woman Touka just spoke to stumbles out of the wagon, her arms supporting a heavily bloodstained man with his head drooping.
Together they approach Touka, wobbling slightly as the man staggers. His hands are dug into his shoulder and side tightly, the nails breaking flesh.
"I-I'm sorry Miss healer," she says, "b-but I got an awful fright, and spilled the rest." She holds out the cup, which is nearly empty. "I-I don't suppose you have any more to give?"

by **kaede** 2015-05-03, 00:04

She ignores the mans insults and focuses on the woman and the injured man. "Exploded? That should not have happened, what exactly happened."

by **Corenat Rovarnus** 2015-05-03, 01:00

"I-I don't know, Jorge just sort of...shook, and blood sprayed everywhere." She wipes some droplets off her forehead with her forearm. The man makes a pained wheeze, and they step closer. Touka can almost feel their labored breathing. "Can you please give us more of that mixture?"

by **kaede** 2015-05-03, 01:04

"Lay him down, I'll administer it via touch, it should act quicker."

by **InteroVegas** 2015-05-03, 04:34

Amos steps aside and tries to cast detect magic as innocuously as possible.
