"Darius heal the woman first, maybe she has some information we can use."
Spugnoir has been making the woman and her....child more comfy.
Darius sits down with the woman and slowly touches her shoulder, careful not to scare her with any sudden movements and begins to let Imoneade's holy power flow into the woman healing her of her insanity.
The alien glow around the woman disappears, but her overall behavior is still unchanged.
Well that’s an improvement.
She will probably need more powerful magic for her mind.
"What magic will help? I Can make a circle that will keep evil presences out of an area that she is in" Stam offers pulling out some silver powder
spoielr Spugnoir: The woman is color blighted. To heal her fromthat condition, her drained carisma would have to be restored and then her insinity can be cured with a heal spell for example.
Darius looks at the poor woman sorrowfully. "I may be able to help her in the morrow. But for now I have nothing that will help."
"I can move us back to Lepidstadt or a few of us and bring us back as well, is there anything we need?" Stam asks
Just what have we all gathered together? We might have things to sell.
Once they are back in the room Stam will gather everyone together.
"I will take us all back to the camp we stayed at with the Traveling play wrights, What were they called again?" Stam asks.
once everyone is ready he will enact his spell taking everyone with him.
"Welcome back to Lepidstadt, should we visit the judge again? Then maybe visit Madame Lorrimor before heading back?"
We could touch base and leave info on how we have been doing. Just in case we all die screaming and someone must find our left behind diary.
That's not a bad idea, and we should sell all this extra stuff I've been carrying around. Which reminds me, can we get a magic bag to store this all in?
I have a Handy Haversack for storage
Exelent! Would it be OK if I give you some equipment to store in the bag while we are in the water?
Fine by me. Best we all get a haversack methinks
Upon arrival, Darius' eyes go wide and turns and vomits to the side.
"In my old age my weak stomach doesn't take kindly to teleporting as much as it used to."
Then continues "I've already got a Haversack. Been carrying a lot of things around previously."
Let's sell this equipment and see what we get for it. Maybe I will pick up get a bag too if we make enough.
Going out to to sell that stuff you find that
a) the people here still don't like you.
b) once they realize that you try to sell stuff they have seen on the temple's clergy too, they become even less friendly.
and c) the prices they offer you are not even close to fair.
And the village is too small to find other buyers.
We seem to have erred.

While he is in town Grergof wants to donate the tangle of silver Holy Symbols (from the Harrowstone) to one of the various good temples that is included in the symbols.
He also sells his old backpack.
"Kendra, good day, We have a funny favour to ask of you. We have encountered a woman and a small child. They are victims of a cult in a different town and we need a save haven for them. Would you be willing to take them in for a bit?" Stam asks.
"Yes, of course." Kendra replies. "For how long would that be?"
Stam looks around "Well that might be the thing we are not sure yet, Gentlemen? I would be more than willing to pay for her to stay her if you need." Stam says.
"Maybe now I can get my mother out of Cheliax"
It will probably be for a week or two. Just to warn you, The woman has a unreasonable attachment to a dead child she thinks is a doll, and may not be too used to being in other human company.
But as long as she has food and water, plus is kept out of sight, she probably will not be much trouble. She mostly just sits rocking her doll. She follows suggestions pretty well and she won't leave the house as she is scared of the open sky. We are searching for the magic needed to cure her, but we can't find it while keeping her safe as well.
And thank you. We will obviously cover any expenses that you incur while taking care of her.
He sets out 25 gold for her. I'm guessing that will cover anthing that you need, but if you need more, just let us know when we return.
"Two weeks is a long time. I try to settle into my new job and can't watch her all the time. And you told of a small child. You mean that dead one? Kendra inquires with disgust on her face.
"No an actual infant, if it is to much we can try to find someone else, I just thought of you first when we needed the help of a Woman." Stam says
"You put down quite some coin. I'll come up with an solution. When will you bring them? And would you put some magic on the dead baby, to prevent it from stinking to high heavens?" Kendra inquires.
"That will be Darius and it would be on the Morrow since I have to use my last magics to get us back to Illmarsh. I could be here whenever tomorrow after breakfast, this is the same time zone as Illmarsh is it not?" Stam asks
"I'll be here quarter past breakfast." Kendra jokes.
What's your new job? And how is the rest of the town doing? Anything odd happening since we left?
"I'm starting as an assistant to Dr. Crowl and once I'm used to the way of working at the University, I will give lectures of my own." Kendra tells proudly.
"The town settled back to normal, after the trial of the Beast was over. There are some disputes, about who gets to own the Chymic Works. But nothing out of the ordinary."
Perhaps we can pay for a local priest to keep preserving the baby? Just until we find a permanent cure.
I'll leave the details of the baby to you. Grergof addresses to Spugnoir before returning to talk with Kendra.
Following in your Father's Footsteps? He would be proud of you.
Grergof listens intently keeping her talking about what she is lecturing about and generally celebrating her new career. He also relaxes a bit now that he is away from the never-ending hostility of the small town.
It was a good idea to come back, we could all use a short break, but we can't be gone long.
Kendra tells a bit about the antiquities department and the eccentric Dr. Crowl. About her lectures she is not sure yet, but ponders studying strange and secret cults. Especially the Whispering Way.
Of course she wants to know if you found out more about that cult and if you could solve the riddle why the Beast was used to steal the figurine from the university.
We seem to be trailing after them from one place to another. Just enough o follow but not enough for an answer.
Wait, does anyone think we will be doing swimming? If so, I could purchase formula for breathing water and being unhindered in it.
"I have spells to cover us in those areas Spugs. But maybe an extra potion of each just in case couldn't hurt."
"Thank you Kendra I will return tomorrow with the woman and child, one is dead one is very much alive. If you can find a nanny maybe in the mean time that would be appreciated." Stam bows to Kendra and then Teleports everyone back to Illmarsh.
"Ok so we need to go and help that gentlemen with his submersible and then tomorrow I will take our sick friend back to Kendra's once that is done we can push further into this town to stop this cult of Dagon."
Spugs looks to see if he can purchase formulas of Water Breathing and Touch of the Sea I can make potions if I have the formula
Yes I would assume that we will be swimming at some point... I will not be very effective swimming, with my flail, so I suppose I will need to use my dagger or.... Did we sell that magic trident?
That my friend is the strangest to do list I think I have ever heard... Grergof jokes.
"We kept the trident and the helm for underwater breathing, both can go to you Grergof, I can use magic to make myself be able to cast underwater" Stam says
"Stam do you need healing?" I might have missed it.
"I am ok for now, I paid to have my issues fixed and am feeling top notch right now. I would much rather get this town fixed." Once back Stam goes to check on Ned
I think Ned shacked up with some heifers
