What have you cast?
The three Remove Sicknesses
Saves
Use your current fort modifier
Use the following modifiers
-4 if you are cursed
+4 for potion cure (alchemical)
+4 for Mox's healing (circumstantial)
+4 Remove Sickness, all but Khador (morale)
The save is two consecutive fort DC22
Rhen's roll remains a failure.
Bulgard, Khador and Grokar are up.
"Doc, I still don't be feelin' well, I be callin' in taday, someone else can do the minin'." Rhen says closing his eyes and leaning back against the building.
Interest in this campaign and those going forward seems to be lacking. Ready to shut it down and call it quits. If you feel differently, please say so. I am ready to end this. If long ass posting is good with you, I can remain.
Bulgard is 11 +5 +4 +4 +4 which is a save.
Khador is 19 -2 +4 +4 which is a save.
They need two consecutive saves to overcome it.
Mox's healing and spells really make a difference. Bulgard has effectively beaten the plague. Natural healing will restore his charisma and constitution damage. Rhen and Khador remain ill.
So, Rhen and Khador remain ill. Rhen is cursed for eternity. Bulgard and Grokar will heal naturally in a matter of days.
How will you spend your time this day?
Rhen needs to find someone to remove this curse, asking around town for some help
Lady Cirthana of Iomedae might be able to help you with a curse. You can find her at the church up that road over there.
Rhen goes to the temple "Lady Cirthana!" Rhen bellows into the building. Bumping intot he door frame, slightly from alcohol and slightly from the plague that is infesting him. "I be needin' a curse lifted!"
Jeva runs to the door. "Rhen!...You have the pox! You can't come in with that. Go around back where the other sick folk are. I will tell Lady Cirthana you are here."
Bulgard and Khador follow Rhen along. When Khador sees Jeva, he greets her warmly.
Mox follows them to the priestess.
Rhen smiles a genuine smile at the girl, "Ye been keepin' well lass?" Rhen asks her as he makes his way to the back with the "other plague victims"
"Yes, Rhen. Doing great. I love it here. Hey Bulgard. I like your wolf. Cirthana got me a puppy. I don't like that pony."
Behind the church is a small fire being tended to by locals. It is surrounded by several tents. Cirthana is tending to the ill and sees you as you approach. "Our heroes have returned. What news do you bear?"
"We get that witch in the woods, she cursed me good though. I be feelin' like I be wastin' away." Rhen says staying away from the sick people
We got your b-b-b-b-b-bowl too!
"Queen Syntira sent a missive indicating her gratitude for the cure you developed and gave to the fey. They have successfully reproduced it and they are already getting better. Congratulations and thank you for that. She is a good ally for us to have."
"A witch had Isandrea's Basin? It is known to be cursed. May I have it for inspection and study? Tell me more of this witch. I assume she is no longer a threat to us."
"Are you sure it is a curse and not just the pox, Rhen Vemsa? I have been working on several spells lately and remove curse is one of them. I have not used it yet, but should be able to cast it for you tomorrow if need be."
Grokar feels a sense of impending doom as Igar The Terrible reaches into his bag of omnipotence.
"Ohh it be a curse, that witchy women in the would, waggled her finger, shouted a bunch o' strange word then touched me." Rhen almost sounds insulted that she would have touched him now that he is talking about it. "Ye can take away the curse can ye? How much?"
"Rhen Vemsa, I could not accept a donation from one who risked his life to save this town. It is the least I can do to repay you for your heroism. I will prepare the spell for you tomorrow morning. Pray that I may be strong enough to overcome that which has afflicted you."
"Ohh lass you be doin' the prayin' Torag and me not been on the best o' terms fer a while." Rhen smiles almost weekly sitting down taking a nap
I would be happy to assist if you are not.
"Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, Mox Decker. Thank you."
A large heron noisily flies out of a large tree headed for the river. As it gains altitude a large swath of white fluid and semi sold chunks fall from it's rear. The elongated falling mass hits Grokar squarely on his face, head, and chest. The deposit is quite a mess and smells terribly foul.
Cirthana hands Grokar a bar of scented soap. "The river is that way." She points south.
How do you spend this day?
Rhen spends the day trying not to lose his well any meal that he can hold down. The sickeness is getting worse and he just wants to die. Being a Dwarf Rhen shows none of this and just rests his head against the cool stone of a building, stone is much better than wood as all Dwarves know.
As Cirthana makes her rounds caring for the ill, she tells Rhen "That is good, Rhen Vemsa. The rest will help you fight this off."
She addresses the other adventurers. "Where is the cursed basin and may I have it now?"
Bulgard offers her the basin.
"Thank you, Bulgard Merkenkin. Please excuse me while I put this in a safe place. I may give it some study, but I will certainly return later to give aid to the infected."
The handing over of the basin completes this module. Welcome to level 5 unless your name is Rhen. You have 10,500 gp which is a gift from Queen Syntira via Cirthana for producing and giving the remedy to the plague that was devastating her population. Rhen will level up if and when he completes his battle with the Pallid Princess. We will wave over a trip to Almas for supplies.
Grokar returns from the river and hands the unused dry bar of soap to Cirthana as she attends to the stricken. "Thank you."
Lets hope that helps
Rhen cha 8 Con 13 fort +2
Plague effects
Rhen cha 6 con 12 fort +2
Rhen awakens before sunrise to the very pleasant smell of perfume. Cirthana is kneeling beside him with a wand in her hand. Rhen feels an immediate relief of his condition.
For good measure she uses it again.
She utters some words while carefully while moving her hands about.
And, for good measure casts it again.
The curse is removed
Rhen cha 10 con 12 fort +2
Rhen's save of 2 +2 +4 +4 +4 is not a save. He remains infected.
Just before dawn the next day, Rhen awakens to the smell of perfume. Cirthana is kneeling beside him. "This should help you fight off this terrible plague, Rhen Vemsa." She uses her wand of lesser restoration two times.

"Aye Lass thank ye, I hope this helps." Rhen sighs
After several days of rest, you are all in top shape again. You manage to get any supplies you need in Almas thanks to Vors Aman and the Jurin Kreed.
"This town be always in trouble, Ye staying around Mox?" Rhen asks the bird faced doctor
After several days of absence, Bulgard returns with a lady. She's plain-looking and red-headed, but he seems smitten. Khador follows at their heels.
F-f-fellas, this is Orlaith. I'm going to try and sire some pups by her and settle down. Got some work hunting bandits and whatnot. Y-y-yoou've been good friends to me. Best I e'er had. If you're back this way again, or need a good bowman, you know where to find me
Orlaith giggles as Bulgard slings her over his shoulder, and they head off down the road.
"Rhen Vemsa, Jeva of Iomedae does not like the pony. I was hoping to teach her riding skills with it. Please, take it and the tack as well. May Iomedae be with you on your journeys."
"Damned gingers have no soul."
"THank ye lass, I will take her and keep good care."
