Dayereth curses in frustration.

He has been using his skills to to reason, cajole and intimidate the innkeeper (Arcane Mutterings) as well as lessen the sounds and smell of infection (Prestidigitation) in order to keep thier tenuous hold on thier room.  When Nadarresh's affliction fails to improve as the others' have, and even grows worse his temper shortened.  As the companions gather to weigh thier options, he's bordering on insufferable.

"As I see it we can do two basic things, bring a powerful healer here, or go to a powerful healer.  Aerandis, how many days travel is Narisella?  Can she leave the grove or will she leave the grove to aid us? I'm no healer, but I don't think Nadarresh can make a journey much farther than the pub! Does anyone else know of a healer powerful enough who we can deal with?  Preferably who lives close by and works cheap?

I heard the name Mel su Detok bandied about, and I have to say I don't like that idea.  I shudder at the thought of being indebted to him."

He turns back to Nadarresh and waves his hands to suppress the sound of a coughing fit.

(( Kyle:  Your call if she would help. But I don’t she could /would come to Brix, even if you could message her. You are in touch with local spirits so no long distance carriers, sorry.  We have established that you can make the journey to Fey Fields solo in 3 days though that is using all your elven wiles and I think we’ve also established that as a group you guys move much slower! (I would expect at least twice as long) Nadarresh is mobile enough to participate in his own evacuation- and even combat if necessary though he does not have any surges and cannot regain hp.  ((look to page 17 in the campaign guide for relative distances.)) Still the most direct route to Fey Fields brings you through Thorywood which may save time but traveling south around the woods is an option as well.  Let me know which NPC you’ll target for aid and that should be enough for me to prepare. ))

((Moved from Nadarresh's tread))

Thinking about what's best, he gathers up his thinkgs and tells the others, "My friends, I should leave the city proper as it's not doing me any good in this room all cramped up here like we are.  I am going to the edge of the city woods, so that I can rest and perhaps make more sense of my dreams."

Moving towards the door, he says, "I'll be out the northeast gate, near the Hill Gates area.  Please meet me there and then we can decide where to go."


Luke: "Hey, wait up! You're still sick.  I'll stick by you in case you need anything."

He follows and quietly stands guard, giving Nadarresh room to ponder his dream vision, but watching for signs that the fever might be getting worse.


Dayereth stops them as they go to leave.

Dayereth : "Wait, before you two go to sleep amongst the stars and wrack your brains, I think I know what this place is. The drawing is very close to a place I read about called Little Boy Mountain, it was the sight of a battle between dark elves and dwarves some time ago.  It's in Thorywood if I'm not mistaken, which I believe is on the way to Nerisella's place, right?  I can't say what relevance that has to our present quest or why Nadarresh is having visions of it, I'll do more research, if I can.  If we want to check it out on the way, we'd better be prepared, dark elves are formidable opponents. If the two of you are determined to commune with nature as opposed to staying surrounded by four walls, be careful.  Remember Nadarresh's body is sick and can't heal itself, so he could bleed to death from an aggressive squirrel."

"I'll watch out for squirrels...you be careful not to cut yourself with that parchment..."  Nadarresh says laughing and coughing at the same time.
