Pallid Plague:
Type disease, injury, inhaled, or ingested; Save special (see below)
Onset 1d4 hours; Frequency 1/day
Effect 1 Cha damage on first day, 1d2 Con damage and 1d2 Cha damage each day thereafter; Cure is 2 consecutive fortitude DC 22 saves.
So, the disease still poses a very real threat to your companions.
Grokar, Bulgard, Rhen and Khador are currently infected. Each has taken 1 charisma damage. Tomorrow they will take 1d2 con and 1d2 cha damage prior to the check. 8 hours of rest will repair 1 ability point of damage. A day of rest will repair two. Long term care provided by you doubles those repair numbers.
"So we take this back, hand it over ta the Paladin, she heals us and we are good ta drink again?" Rhen says
Nice Mox. Your build is stronger than I originally took it for. Just some bad roles during the encounter.
As you stand around doing nothing, the sun sets.
Perhaps it would be better to rest here for the night. Then I could re-administer the cure to those still stricken.
"If ye say so Doc, just help me ta feel better, me guts are rollin' worse than drink some o' that fancy elf wine." Rhen says
If you are to stay here this eve, you should probably build a fire and set up a watch schedule. Hours spent in The Wood does have possible encounters.
Rhen looks around for some fire wood. "I will take mid watch since I can see in the dark." Rhen says gathering wood then laying out his bed roll and going to sleep.
Mox begins to administer his healing arts to those infected so that they can fight off the malady before i begins to seriously affect them.
The next save will be in the morning. One per day in the morning going forward.
The night passes without incident.

Saves for those who are sickened is at a -2 penalty. Rhen is cursed and has an additional -4 penalty.
Charisma damage effects:
4–5 Has no awareness of the needs of others, almost no sense of empathy
6–7 Uninteresting, rude, boorish, and generally unpleasant to be around
8–9 Something of a bore or makes people mildly uncomfortable
Rhen posted before I calculated and posted the new fortitude numbers. An eight is not a save anyway.
This is how your saves should go:
Use your new lower fort modifier (Khador's did not change).
Use the following modifiers
-2 for sickened
+4 for potion cure alchemical
+4 for Mox's healing (circumstantial)
The save is two consecutive fort DC22
Your HPs are reduced via con damage. Since you will not be fighting, there is no need to calculate that at this time.
Constitution: Damage to your Constitution score causes you to take penalties on your Fortitude saving throws. In addition, multiply your total Hit Dice by this penalty and subtract that amount from your current and total hit points. Lost hit points are restored when the damage to your Constitution is healed.
Grokar wakes up the next day irritated and feeling no better.
Igar reaches into his bag of omnipotence. He withdraws a bolt of lightning and gazes at Bulgard. Try me for seven full days will you?
Bulgard awakens and heads straight for the woods. He drops his trousers and squats. He hears a static popping in the air above him. Just as he looks up there is a loud boom and he is blinded by the flash of light for a few moments. He smells burnt hair. His ears are ringing. He completes his duty and heads back to camp not aware that his hair is now curly and his flesh has black scorch marks all over it. "Muh-muh-morning, guys."
Khador
Let us return then, and ensure this contagion has not spread through the town.
Rhen nods at Mox, still feeling ill from this plague.
"I thought ye were goin' ta cure us." Rhen says as they ride back.
An hour later you arrive at the edge of town.

Bulgard and Khador try to shake off the malady:
"I feel worse each day, common doc ye have ta have something. What about that City we went ta? Maybe a healer there could cure us?' Rhen says absolutely drained of all energy
I am doing all I can for you. The body must still do it's job. However this may also aid you
Mox waves his hand in arcane motions and mumbles some words.
It is mid morning. Your next save will be tomorrow morning. How will you spend your day or should I fast forward to the save?
"Lets get rid o' that basin, get some healing and some ale, some strong liquor ta burn this disease outta me, have ta find a strong healer to take me new curse away." Rhen says, sweat pouring down his face from the effort of being alive
My Da always said a strong black ale would cure what ails ya... but then, he died of the fever. Errr... anyone want to get an ale with me?
Rhen looks at Bulgard, "Lad ye had me at ale, lets get some and drink this ol' plague away." Rhen says dismounting, tying the pony off Rhen heads into the bar with Bulgard.
Seldlron is sitting outside the tavern on a wooden box.
"Hey guys. They won't let you inside with the pustules. I reckon that anemic girl didn't give you much trouble." He covers his grin as he sips from his tankard while looking at Bulgard and Rhen. He looks to the open door and yells "Jim! Another couple pitchers out here please."
Jim delivers two pitchers of darkwood ale. "Careful with this fellas."
Rhen just scowls at Seldron, once the ale is brought out though he softens a bit.
"She and her cultists and zombies were a bit much, could o' used a nother axe if ye weren't so chicken." Rhen jabs back at Seldron
"While I do love a good fight, I fear I would have only been in the way yesterday. Between Laurel and Lady Cirthana, I think I'm gonna beat this thing. Feel much better, I do. Still can't shake it entirely. Maybe tomorrow. For 140 gold pieces, Cirthana will zap you with a wand of make you feel better. You oughta get her to do that for you. Cheers, Rhen. You survived another fight." The fighter raises his tankard towards the dwarf.
Seldlron looks to Bulgard. He raises his tankard. "Cheers to you huntsman. I like the new look. Hahahahahaha.
Rhen raises his mug and takes a swing.
"Aye I'll be seein' er tomorrow then, after a few drinks." Rhen says
I question if Cirthana can provide any assistance my administerings have not already attained.
"You got a wand of make you feel better, Doc?"
No. But I am able to alleviate the effects of the sickness and treat the disease so that the the body can heal.
Rhen listens but doesn't fully understand what is going on, so he just keeps drinking with Bulgard
Bulgard pours a pint into a bowl for Khador, who laps it up with gusto.
Im already starting to feel better. Is this the ale of h-h-healing?
Despite my disinterest in this 'wand' extortion, I do believe returning the basin to your priestess is prudent.
"She ain't my priestess. I went to her out of desperation cause I heard rumors that she could heal. The wand felt great. I am better now. Yeah, this ale does help."
Seldlron sets up a tent just outside of town and takes his rest. It is only a few yards from the tavern, yet out of town.
"We if she can help me then she can be me Priestess." Rhen says leading back against the wall to sleep
Mox will administer the best he can through their rest and prepare Remove Sickness again.
"I could use some r-r-r-rest. How bout we camp over by Seldlron and take the basin to the priestess first thing in the morning?
Bulgard and Khadr follow Seldlron, get a fire going and lay out a bedroll.
After a full day and night of rest with Mox's care you awaken the next morning. The plague continues to break you down.

Rhen continues to feel like he was holed up in a giants bag of goodies and just tossed around.
