Romanna takes your hand in hers. Despite being wet from the rain her hands are soft and smooth, her touch gentle yet firm, and you feel yourself calmed as she looks at your finger with a worried expression. She doesn't touch the affected area, but pokes at it with a small twig she retrieved from one of the many pouches on her belt.
"I've... I've seen this before, I think. Although, it was much worse, much more widespread." She drops your hand and puts the twig away, then continues as you make your way on up the street. "One of the other survivors - well, for a short time, anyway - from your ship, he was afflicted in a like manner. Covered nearly half of his body. None of the so-called 'healers' at the abbey would dare touch him - it didn't help that he gibbered like a raving lunatic. He was never a harm to anyone, he could barely move, but I was lucky to have been there or else who knows how much more he would have suffered? I was able to help ease his pain, at least a small bit, with Gamael's help." At this she looked skyward with a smile, and opened her palms upward, letting the rain fall once again on her face. "I believe He can help you, through me, although it will take a component that I do not have. Indeed, it may be difficult to find at all on this island... She looks you straight in the face. "Diamond dust doesn't come easy. I know of no jeweler on the island, nor of any merchant who might have it. But Brother Zachariel, the abbey's resident alchemist, should in all likelihood have a pinch or two. We should head back there as soon as we can, though."
As she finishes, you notice that the Sturgeon is nearby, just across the street.
Well well well, here barely an hour and already we've got missing clerics to find, threats from the local populace, a vile blackness to expunge... Well, at least we've got the time to investigate all this. You know, seeing as how we're trapped here and all.
