ooc: by my count there is only like on maybe two rounds left of the air elemental, so he will dismiss it as they are on the move.

Though you are followed by patrols of Gnolls coming from Kelmarane and have a couple of close calls, Houwlou's vast knowledge of the high desert climate and his abilities as a hunter eventually see you safely back to the monastery and Almah's trading caravan without being tracked.

Though it's only late afternoon when you return, your weariness is apparent to Almah as you present yourselves to give your report. After a few brief questions to ensure that you're OK she dismisses you to your beds with the command that you return to her first thing in the morning for a full recounting.

When the next day dawns Houwlou, Keeland and Aodhán enter the mess hall. The three of you are halfway through an excellent breakfast prepared by Hadrod and Hadrah (the caravan's wrangler/cooks) when Tsadok drags himself in looking very much the worse for wear. The man is flushed and sweating in the cool morning air of the high desert, and plainly doesn't feel well.

[sblock=Everyone]4 HP back from your night's rest (if needed).[/sblock]

[sblock=Mike L]Tsadok has contracted some sort of fever. He takes 1 point of CON Drain (Core Rulebook, pg. 555). On the bright side, he does heal 4 points of damage and 1 point of DEX Damage with his night's rest.

To track the CON Drain in HL, go to the Adjust tab and enter a new Temporary Adjustment: Ability Score (Permanent). While you're there, don't forget to take one off the DEX Damage and add his 4 HP.[/sblock]

[sblock=David]Harnry is still abed - hopefully the others will come for you but the bedridden thing is strictly role-play. What's not just role-play is that Harnry's taken 4 points of CON Damage and 1 point of CON Drain (Core Rulebook pg. 555) from some sort of fever he's contracted.[/sblock]

Harnrey cracks an eye open. In a dry rasping voiced he edges out a few words, as his dry cracked lips curve in a smile, "why are there 3 of you?" *cough* *wheeze* *shiver*

Houwlou easily ensures that Harnry will stay on his back as Keeland examines the mage. He then turns his attentions to the young rogue. His examination reveals that both have contracted some sort of disease that his eating away at their fortitude, but is unable to identify exactly what it is or how to cure it. It does seem that they should be able to fight off the disease on their own, though it's erosion of their Constitution means that the longer they carry it the more difficulty they'll have ridding themselves of it.

"What can we do for them, Keeland? Should I build a 'spirit fire' to allay their ethereal tormentors?" Houwlou is obviously grasping at straws here....

As soon as he conveniently can do so, Houwlou will go and prepare his spell for the day. He prepares Summon Nature's Ally I, and it is already in his stat block.

Harnrey cringes in pain at the words spoken, "more then you can say, eh?" He mumbles softly and gestures with his hand and looks in Howlou's direction

[sblock=dm only]
as a mage hand spell is cast and is used to ruffle the dog's hackles.
