She tilts her head to the side as she listens, frowning a bit. "Things seem a bit odd around here."
Cefrey looks over the approaching village with a visible look of concern. "So many? So quickly?" She questions, mostly speaking to herself as she tightly clutches the silver bird of Shelyn that hangs from a chain around her neck.
Standing on the ferry landing, with a small gang of men around him, Payden Teedum shouts over the water. “Youse best be hurryin’ up The Perch. Da boss, he’s been waitin’ too long fer ya’all to return.” He pulls out a handkerchief and blows his pug-faced, broken nose into it. A thick gob of mucus still hangs from his nose as he turns and heads back into the village.

Once the men leave, you see your mother slouched against a crate, her tattered rags wrapped around her face. Clutching an idol of Sarenrae in her hands, she appears to be sleeping, her dreams wracked by some unknown terror as she spasms in her sleep. The ferry is about 100 feet from the slip.
Saffron looks back at the stranger, narrowing her eyes, "You better watch yourself sir."
The stranger turns to the half elf, a small smile on his lips. "No, it is Kreed and his cronies who should be careful."
Turning back to the small village, he stares silently, and seems to be unaffected by the rocking of the ferry as he stands as stiff as a statue.
Gambril rushes to his mother
"Mother, mother, are you ok?" "Mother"
tears begin to form
"Help me get her to our house...I'll see Payday after I get her home."
The ferry approaches the slip, and Gambril runs over to his mother, falling to his knees before her. Dried blood from her nose and mouth run down her cheek, mixed with drying tears.
Clutching her idol, she tries to sit up, and is only able to do so with the help of Gambril. Her body is wracked by coughing, and she pleads for a glass of water.
With the sun shining down on her, you can see that her eyes have sunken slightly, and her skin is pale. Normally silky hair that hangs at her shoulders has become stringy, and dulled, matted together from dirt and filth.
At seeing Gambril rush over to his mother Cefrey breaks into her run as well arriving at his side not long after him and helping him support the older woman. "Don't worry" She assures them both kindly "I'll do everything in my power to help"
Heal Check [DC 14] Results
Gambril grabs his water skin and gives his mother some water. "'Tis Sunstroke for sure...but that doesn't explain the blood..."
Heal: 1d20+0=13
She greedily drinks the water, draining the water skin, and starts coughing, bringing it all back up. "Gods alive, won't this coughing stop?" She realizes that Gambril had given her the water, and she touches his face. "You...you came back."
Smiling weakly at her son, she strokes his hair. She seems like she's about to say something when her eyes flutter, and she passes out, her body still spasming in her sleep. Moaning a couple of times, she goes silent, resting in her sons arms.
The paladin leans down over the ill woman. "This is a foul illness the likes of which the Korgun has never seen before. The Korgun hopes that his skills can comfort her."

Not sure how to handle the situation with Gambril and his mother, Saffron decides to keep a close eye on the stranger to see what he does as soon as they land.

I rolled one for the check to see if I knew what it was and failed so I posted he had "never seen before". Then I rolled for trying to use my skill in a way that could treat her symptoms and give her comfort

The stranger walks up into the village. Once he gets up to the market square, he looks around, as if getting his bearings, and heads north.

She decides to follow him for a bit, keeping sure to stay quiet and a ways behind him so he does not notice.
Korgun
Saffron
He appears to be getting agitated, and eventually goes inside Jak'a'Napes, the most famous inn in Falcon's Hollow.
As you move through the village, you notice a fair amount of people coughing, laying against buildings, and generally being sick.
The ferry splashes across the River Foam, the village of Falcon’s Hollow coming closer, the end of your journey at an end. The crumbling black dome of the local Lumber Consortium headquarters absorbs the light of the afternoon sun, the tallest building sitting atop The Perch, on the east side of the village.

People generally ignore him, and the armored stranger finally finds a seat, and orders a drink.

He settles in his seat, looks around the room, swallows his drink in one gulp, and stands. With a half-hearted smile at you, he heads back outside.

Gambril's da is nowhere to be seen. Amira starts to come around, and she whispers "Sitting Duck" in your ear.
