Ghoul fever begins this way; so does common influenza, but that's accompanied by excretory action, and Nurthk isn't even sweating. And while those things weren't ghouls exactly, they were close enough that Oliver can't blame the symptoms on dehydration or malnutrition, which might be otherwise likely causes.There is a Temple of Heironeous near, however, and they are more than willing to assist, asking only several questions about the previous day's encounter. You are still able to leave Geid and continue onward in good time....It is six more days traveling the Tourne, at a somewhat expedited rate. Your entourage improves its number substantially with each town you pass through, as the Crownsmen speak highly of your worth, and the worth of your quest (whether they have picked up on the attitude of Fendric and those others who are most committed to it, or have merely built it up in their own minds to lend meaning to the losses incurred en route, is an open question. It is probably both).You arrive in Perlech too late to seek audience with the Knight Rienne Vaustus, final recipient to these letters. You find fine lodging on an estate owned by Koehl's family. He invites you to a late drink in a large but empty dining hall, to toast the journey's end, and Federich insists you oblige. Brich Oerry remains affectless as always, but does not seem in a hurry to sleep, either. (Casual D&D is now 5 years old! Wow.Anyway, looks like slow going for a while, as I think the death of the Subscription script has hedged some people out. I hadn't really wanted to gloss over Nurthk's disease, but it also didn't make sense to keep you guys waiting any longer on something that way easily handled.Couple of things: First, I will be on vacation til the 11th, and while I'll have internet access, how much time I'll be spending here is another question. Second, I'm holding the action back a bit until dpdx becomes active again; the last letter is a milestone that he shouldn't miss.Lastly, this thread's getting bigger and a new chapter's not too far off, so start dropping iconic-sounding statements! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> "The Fellowship of the White Dove" and "A Knight for a Pawn" were both taken from Uriel's posts, and it's a tradition I'd like to reinstate.)</blockquote>
