Gaius, when I give a skill as one or the other please only roll one check.

Gaius recognizes the substance as Demon Bile. Demon Bile is biological in nature and will grow if left unchecked. It is an abyssal disease that corrupts creatures that ingest it, slowly eroding their minds while causing hallucinations and madness.

It can be destroyed by touching it with cold iron, a good aligned weapon, or any positive energy such as a healing spell or channeling.

He knows that it attracts vermin of all kinds and often causes them to grow gigantic. Fortunately it seems these ants did not return to their hive and lead the other ants to the infection.

Searching the area, Gaius thinks there were probably only two people involved in the struggle. It looks like the winner carried the other off judging by the depth of the footprints. Unfortunately once they get on the path, it becomes impossible to follow them.

@GM: Will do!

As Gaius relays the information to the rest of the group he asks Furen to strike the Demon Bile with her cold iron morningstar.

Drinking some of the offered tea Gaius stops to reply, "I believe you have supplied us with the information we need to begin the investigation. Thank you for your belief in us."

A well-dressed, well-groomed Taldan man enters the room, "Greetings all my name is Gaius Marius, Inquisitor of Hathor. My apologies, the Society's business in Taldor took longer to finalize than we expected. Nonetheless yet another success thanks in no small part to my contributions. But enough of my successes, what brings us to this meeting today Lady Dralneen?"

He gives the Lady a courtly bow.
