Constables of the 14th Ward Part 2

Brae sighs deeply. "Sheriff, I'm afraid that's no ordinary fever. You look to have a bad case of Slimy Doom. Indeed, I don't think this is natural at all, but the result of a vile spell cast upon you." The cleric reaches into his pack and begins to remove the supplies necessary to help the man. Now, I've not the proper magics prepared to remove this affliction, so I will have to treat you the old fashioned way." Brae continues to ramble on as he begins to treat the man. "I'd like to know what happened though? Have any unusual encounters lately? A run in with a foul witch, or perhaps a wicked gnome?"

"Our business can wait, Sir Upjohn. Let Constable Braevil tend to you, he is one of Holy Meda's fine priests."

The young knight apears thoughtful as he watches Brae work.
 

Seeing that all is not as it should be, Darius steps outside to keep watch. He finds a shady spot with a good view of the approaches to the station and keeps an eye out for anything out of the ordinary.
 


Outside, Darius finds Pleasant Ford to be the very definition of ordinary. Indeed were he to check the Lauralie Summerhome Constable's Training Handbook, fifth edition, revised, he is confident that he'd find a picture Pleasant Ford next to the entry for ordinary. Simple people go about their daily business and nod politely to the constable as they pass.

Inside Brae is confident that he has arrived in time to help the Sheriff. The disease should be taken care of. Sir Upjohn is weak however and could remain vulnerable to additional illness (Con. score currently 4).

"Hmmm, I don't remember any such encounter. We rode out to the mine and as we were taking a look around..." He stops, with a look of revelation on his face. "Can animals carry this disease? I startled a weasel out there, it jumped right on my boot and I thought it would go right up my leg, but it just leaped away as quickly as it came. It was right after that when I started to feel ill."
 

Moru Sen, human conjurer

"Can animals carry this disease? I startled a weasel out there, it jumped right on my boot and I thought it would go right up my leg, but it just leaped away as quickly as it came. It was right after that when I started to feel ill."

Moru perks up at the mention of weasels. "It's not natural for weasels to carry it, I can assure you of that," he says, adjusting his backpack, "but I suppose it's an ingenious-if-cruel way to spread something like this, infecting an innocent animal."
 


"I am quite certain that this afflication came from mystical sources." Brae thinks a moment as he continues to tend the Sheriff. "Could a weasel, perhaps, serve as a wizard's familiar?" This question is directed to his companions, rather than Sir Upjohn. The next, however, is directed back to the Sheriff. "Have you had any problems with a wizard or such?"

"Why, I don't believe I've offended anyone at the LCA of late. I've always been quite cordial with the wizards here abouts. Most of them prefer to live in the city, but a few have country places out here..."
 

Alarion of Tovarre

Alarion stands deep in thought listening to his friends, then looks up, his face grim. "A wizard could do this... but could not a druid also do it? A mad, evil druid, for sure, but we all know someone who meets that description..."
