[QUOTE="Carnifex, post: 47144, member: 227"] [b]Burl: Tewlcroghen's Machinations[/b] Burl hurries back to the Pendarme Residence through the dark streets of night-time Iril, being let in at a side-gate by a guard - who looks with alarm at the corpse of the elf that the necromancer is lugging along. He rushes into the mansion and down to Tewlcroghen's chamber; pausing only as he remembers the mans warning to [b]always[/b] knock first. He does so, and is answered with [b]"Enter."[/b] Tewlcroghen's in. He hurries in, puts down the corpse and relates the tale of what happened at the disease temple to his patron, asking if anything can be done for Irial (who he feels he owes much to). Tewlcroghen takes the journals and notes that Burl carried back and lets him keep the rest of the loot, even giving him another hundred gold, but he says nothing can be done for Irial. With thatm he sends Burl off to sleep for the remaining few hours of darkness. The necromancer wakes with a great pain in his leg that forces him to hobble when he walks - the dire rats bite has become infected and he feels unwell. A quick [i]read magic[/i] of the scrolls he has picked up reveals the third divine scroll to be [i]augury[/i], while the other two scrolls are arcane ones, [i]bull's strength[/i] and [i]comprehend languages[/i]. After a hurried breakfast in the kitchens he heads back down to Tewlcroghen's chamber, finding the door open and within the man conversing to two tall, powerfully built men with gray-black skin, claws fierce features with sharp fangs - but they're still clearly of human origin in many ways. Tewlcroghen finishes speaking with the two, indicates Burl to do what he wants at the lab, and the visitors leave, towering menacingly over Burl and giving him intimidating looks. Tewlcroghen meanwhile seems to enter a meditative trance as Burl sets to work using his alchemical skills to identify the potions he has accrued. It turns out they're both postions of [i]cause disease[/i], blinding sickness to be precise, and he is thankful he didn't drink enough to be affected when he sipped them previously. Tentatively he asks the meditating Tewlcroghen if there's anything he can do for Burl's infection, and the man directs him to a vial on one of the shelves which won't cure it - but will help his body fight it off. Burl drinks the alchemical concotion, all apart from a tiny bit, which he attempts to use in the alchemical equipment to see if he can figure out what it's made up of. He fails, then tries to make an alchemical healing salve - working all day, then at the end finding he has made some useless goo. [i]Some poor alchemy rolls :p[/i] With that he scavenges some alchemists fire and tindertwigs from the lab, and heads up to sleep. The next day, it seems the infection is in regression - the liquid he drank appears to be working. [/QUOTE]
