Gregor joins in the women's search, like Drakus, as an authority. Hoping that his presence will help in the search. As Drakus splits off with Nik'o, Gregor resignedly continues on with Pai, worried about what wrong impression she may get. "If we can find at least one of the coins, maybe we could use it as a catalyst to discover the nature of the illness. I doubt we will find them all, that's for certain."
Diplomacy to Gather info 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21.
Gregor looks thoughtful at Pai's question, "What did you intend to do when we found where they were spent in the first place? We are tracking them down for a purpose, presumably to get them off the streets. It's as simple as turning a glove inside out to collect it. If you are just looking to find the possibly infected townsfolk, that will solve nothing, if we do nothing further than issue warnings. We need to find the coins if possible, and remove them from distribution."
The group that moves off to investigate is able to realize that the plague is already spreading, you see signs of the phage in its early stages, coughing and the blemishes. You realize finding the specific location where the coins were distributed is not really relevant as the disease is spreading on its own now, seems to be beyond a few coins...
as she observes the streets and the people she thinks
Crap, no use in a quarantine now, it's an outbreak.
"Looking at the folks here. I'd have to say a quarantine is useless now,
as it looks like it'll be an outbreak soon.
I think it would be wise to start preparing for the coming storm.
I believe the correct course of action now is to start getting protection for ourselves and remove disease scrolls for Donagar to use."

"Blast it! We need to warn the Field Marshal and we need to do it now!"
He turns to Nik'o.
"Can you run with me, or will you be all right on your own? I gotta bring word to the 'boss ma'am', and I gotta do it right now."
He looks worriedly at Pai as he reaches the same conclusion about the possible epidemic, "I think it would be in the city's best interest if we could compel the churches to waive any fees for casting for the general populace. If they only cat on those who can pay, all of Korvosa will suffer." He ponders briefly, "I think I should inform the Field Marshal, maybe she can get a proclamation issued." He turns to head toward the Citadel, making sure to avoid any contact with the citizens.
"Fine let's warn tha field marshal, but once tha proclamation goes out an people figure this is fatal a wand is gonna cost a hunnerd times what it would right now!"
Nik'o turns to Pai: "All right, I'll go with Drakus. Here are some stones. Use them well." She hands a pouch with numerous small gemstones, totalling 500 gp in worth.
She then starts running after Drakus, wondering what kind of hell the city will turn into, again!
Sgt. Drakus(Male Human Fighter- L5 | AC23 | hp 54/54 | Percep +0)
"All right, let's move out!"
Sgt. Drakus sets out at a punishing pace.
she thinks
"What was the street price for remove disease as;
a potion, scroll or wand.
Since scrolls can only be used by casters or those with magical trickery, so they're cheaper so guessing 350 to 400 gp,
and since potions can be used by anyone they cost about twice as much, so 700 to 800 gp
and wand are the most expensive and can only be used by casters or those with magical trickery like scrolls, but wands can be reused a good number of times, so it should be near 10,000 GP to 14,000 GP."
"Great this is making me regret not doing any magical tricky training."
"I think it irrational to believe that whatever uses we have will be enough to prevent an outbreak. We'd be best to use them just for ourselves as we help the citizens, and try to plead to the churches to waive the fees as much as possible."
"You have a point and I would have to agree,
In that we have to get the churches to waive the fees as much as possible and as long as the outbreak lasts and the last patient is cured."
"O course w kent save everone, but we ken try an keep tha sick away from tha well, tha ability tah help tha sick in some way should get us some cooperation err murdered in err beds."
"Went to see bout a wand an instead they learned me how tah make one o my own!"
"Nice! It's like that thing about giving fish or learning how to fish! But did you get a wand after all?" She asks, wondering about the gemstones she lent the dwarf.
I see the post I tried to post didn't show up...huh...oh well do it again.
You spend the rest of the day running down leads, you track down the box and get it off a beggar for a mere 5gp. He is showing signs of the disease as well, you find out he was given a silver coin near the Bank of Abadar. Nearly everywhere you look, the poor and middle class citizens are getting sick, or are sick.
I will need everyone to make 2 fortitude save for the day.
New Test Rule:
I am ALSO instituting a new play-test for something I'm working on, ALL skill tests and Saving throws will use 2d10 instead of a d20. I'm not going to test attack rolls yet...so just saves and skill checks. (Note, all DCs will be one higher for skill checks, saves will remain the same.)
The 2d10 method has a bell curve effect where the most likely result will be 11 with 2's and 20's being dam rare.
Where a single d20 has no bell curve and every result has equal chance.

Cool test. I was very curious about 2d10 and wanted to try it, so I am happy to be a lab rat! Snake eyes could as a natural 1?
Nik'o's mood gets darker as she takes in the scope of the epidemic as it seems to spread through everyone but the rich and the richer. She drinks foul tea, her mother's recipe, in the vain hope that it will keep the disease at bay.
"Good Drakus, Gregor and Nik'o you are here. I'm just now getting reports from the city indicating a plague breaking out, and the Queen has already sent a missive about protecting her doctor. I'm a bit suspicious that the Queen is already moving on this, almost before the actual plague was apparent."
you don't know yet, as Donagar is not with Drakus, Nik'o and Gregor.
Group A:
Marra, Mai, Donagar are together investigating per the previous post.
Group 1:
Nik'o Gregor and Drakus are currently meeting with the Field Marshall and are probably 2 hours behind Group A after they waited for an audience with the Field Marshall.
