Ephesian will give Zac a Rousing Splash, which might not help that poison too much but at least it'll give him a little more hp to let someone more skilled help him recover.

Henri manages to overcome the poison. Zac, however doesn't fare so well.

Zac recovers from the poison as you move to aid the trapped woman.
You hear Evaika calling for help from the cliff face nearby.
"My thanks. I am Evaika. I'm a devout adherent of the Green Faith who has been exploring the region and cleansing natural sites of the demonic blight. Who are you and where are you headed?"
|
"Well met Evaika, I'm Eliadyr our group are members of the Pathfinder Society, here on request of the Farheaven Clan. It is fortuitous that we have crossed paths, not only so that we could rescue you from these monstrosities but also as we have been requested to cleanse some corruption over-selves. What do you know of these leshies and their affliction?"
|
|
"Pathfinders! Well then, I think we can help each other."
Evaika shares her techniques of spiritual purification. You can later use this information when attempting to purify the barrows.
As thanks for saving her, Evaika gives you her coyote cloak.
The barrows are located near the fork between the Upper Alatusa River and the Lower Alatusa River, just north of the West Yards of Storasta. Unnatural mist blankets the entire area, but the mists at the barrows themselves contain spiritual remnants of those buried within as a result of the many rituals conducted here.
Barely visible through the roiling mists ahead are long earthen mounds, shored up with stone ribbing and heaped as tall as the withered tree trunks surrounding them. The further silhouettes fade in and out of the gloom, but the wind’s occasional dispersal and shifting of the mists gives the uncanny impression that the mounds are moving. Every so often, the mist seems to coalesce into the shapes of faces, which vanish as quickly as they appear.
Ahead, a narrow trail paved in stone winds further into the barrow-mounds, disappearing into the mist. A weathered signpost stands beside it, the words once carved upon it faded to illegibility.
In order to locate the relics and remains the Farheaven Clan seeks, you first need to find the right barrow. The corrupted mists make this no easy task.
As you begin to explore the barrows, the mists suddenly thicken around you. As this occurs, each of you loses sight of your companions. Calling out to one another, you can faintly make out voices, but no visual cues remain to locate the rest of the party. After a moment, subtle whispers begin to rustle through the mists, finally coalescing into words.
You are asked three questions in turn. If you answer well, you will be rewarded with a boon.
The mists coalesce into either a resemblance of your greatest fear or some symbol of it.
|
|
Eliadyr will call on his long experience with nature to discuss the spiritual purification methods that Evaika has developed. "Fascinating - I hadn't thought that sort of approach was possible, but it will no doubt be extremely useful to us as we try to work in the barrow."
--
Once the mist descends, Eliadyr will pause, retrieve his wayfinder and try not to get too lost. In answer to the whispered questions, Eliadytr will respond
"My greatest strength is my knowledge of magic, particularly arcane magic"
"My greatest fear is that the whispering tyrant will sweep away Kyonin."
"I seek to recover the relics and remains of the Farheaven Clan and allow them to be laid to rest."
|
"My greatest strength? That would be my strong limbs and powerful serpantine coils."
The mists for images of Nagaji searching for Salissa in order to force her to return to her family's shrine in Nagajor.
"What do I seek? I seek to return the remains and relics of the barrows to the Farheaven clan and a way to cleanse the barrows of their demonic corruption."
|
|
"I believe that hurting others is unnecessary. I only require hurting others if it assists me in healing them."
Greatest Strength:
Henri avoids the mist at all costs.
Greatest Fear:
"We are here to cleanse the barrows of the Farhaven clan to bring the souls of the fallen ones to rest."
What do you seek:
"My greatest strength is the family which I have lost and found once again. They are the ones who ground me and for whom I joined the Pathfinder Society and for whom I am here to serve the people of Sarkoris"
"I have long since faced my greatest fears, when I was tossed into the fleshpits of Thassilon. I bound those fears to my soul and have come out all the stronger for it. The only thing I concern myself with now is how to undo what has been done to the family that I lost"
"Here I seek a piece of redemption, that I might serve the Farheaven clan and make whole what has long since been broken for them. Perhaps it will let me do the same for myself.
|
|
The mists clear, obviously satisfied by your answers. Henri spots three vials of Holy Water on the ground in front of him.
Ahead looms a tall barrow streaked with red-painted symbols. The mists shift away from it, creating a curtain that blocks the surrounding mounds from view. The path forks here, one path leading up to the barrow’s stone-lined entrance while the others branch off into the mists. An eerie, keening whistle floats through the air as the wind blows across the entrance to the barrow.
You recognize the barrow from Nelket’s description. The mound is 20 feet tall, with a stone arch over the entrance. However, you also recognize that you're not alone. The corrupting nature of the site has attracted a welcoming committee. They charge forward and attack.
