[sblock=Neurotic]Best wishes for their speedy recovery! Scotley is right on with the hand washing - Caroline started getting sick more often when she entered pre-school, but then either her immune system caught up or the hand washing did.[/sblock]

[sblock=MikeL]Cairn's bruise appears to be the surface manifestation of some sort of poison - it's not just your normal cut/bruise type wound, and not something Skáth's healing will take care of. However, he knows just the combination of nasty tasting herbal infusions and raunchy smelling poultices to draw the poison out (he thinks). Once the poison's gone, the remaining damage can be healed as normal. It's possible this is what's wrong with the Maor as well.[/sblock]

[sblock=Leif]Cairn definitely feels like his fever is getting worse, as is the pain in his chest . . .[/sblock]

Skáth

After inspecting Cairn and the Maor closer, he realizes it seems to be a poison and begins gathering herbs and other aromatic things to help draw out the poison, or is Skáth just having fun with Cairn at his expense?

 

[Leif]

Cairn MacSidhe

"Thank you, Skáth, for your help. I definitely feel a distinct chill, and I fear that I may be worsening. Please do what you can for me. If I don't make it, lay me to rest with the Bairdeir. Do NOT let my family claim my body and effects."

Skáth

"Thank you, Skáth, for your help. I definitely feel a distinct chill, and I fear that I may be worsening. Please do what you can for me. If I don't make it, lay me to rest with the Bairdeir. Do NOT let my family claim my body and effects."

"Oh Shut up!! You are not dying this day my friend...I may not have attended all the healing classes at the academy but I can draw this poison out with my eyes closed."

 

[Leif]

Cairn MacSidhe

"Oh, bless you, my friend! Ahhh, my sight grows dim, I fear that I may be going soon..... it has been an honor to have befriended you, noble Skáth! Bury me not on the lone prairie! Oh, hey, my eyes do still open!"

Skáth

Skáth calls upon Cyr and Gavril to help him prepare the herbs he needs. He will also add a heaping helping of garlic, knowing it does nothing to help draw out the toxin but is also harmless to the concoction, wanting to have a bit of fun with his friend's dramatics. He will let in Gavril and Cyr on the joke so they may enjoy it as well. He dips bandages in the mixture, warms them to near 100 degrees and places them over Cairns wounds and also wraps his head in them.

Skáth tells Cairn, "Now you need to rest and stay quiet, these bandages will draw out the toxin and and the warmth with help denature the protein. I will check on you again mid-night."

Skáth will prepare another mixture without the garlic and will do the same for the Maor.

 

[Scotley]

Gavril

Happy to oblige, Gavril seeks out the requested herbs and checks on Dillis and the prisoners. He reminds the others, "Be on your guard, there is still one of the Puca on the loose."

 

[Leif]

Cairn MacSidhe

Cairn, totally at the mercy of Skáth, slips off to sleep, with the stench of the garlic in his nostrils. His dreams are full of daoine cursed with body odor who hold his nose deep in their armpits.

I'm back

OOC: It is "just" bacterial pneumonia and not yet down in the lungs, but in upper nasal passages. Nothing little bit of Sumamed (broad spectrum antibiotic) cannot handle. Now it's granny time, as they seem to recover nicely.

It's a bugger that my brother had his wedding this weekend and all I could is go to church ceremony and then leave Bad timing...

Thank you all for well wishes, I hope they'll get better. They will ofcourse fall ill again when they start daycare, but hopefully nothing so bad.

our pediatritian assures us it's quite normal for first several months

Drawing the Poison

[sblock=OOC]I took the liberty of making the Healing check for you to speed things along a little (I've been working on other projects and neglecting this one somewhat, so we're moving slow).[/sblock]

After consulting with Cyr and Gavril, and borrowing a few of Cyr's herbs, Skáth puts his extraordinary knowledge and healing skills to work. By that evening the fever of both men has broken and they are resting peacefully. It is likely they will sleep through the night. There is some physical damage left by the poison that will need to heal (or to be healed) as well.

[sblock=OOC (Again)]I now have Cyr and Skáth healed completely, Cairn's leg and minor chest wound healed but with his major chest wound and poison damage remaining, Gavril with a stomach wound, Béar with a chest wound, and Dílis with the majority of her leg wound. And the Maor with some significant physical damage. Everyone should be sound enough to travel by the morning even without healing, but there is an entire day/night to be spent while Cairn and the Maor sleep it off . . .[/sblock]
