She looked at him with a pout on her face. "Rovan, I don't want to leave you right now." I might never see you again, she thought sadly but pushed that particular thought away.

"I now, but this is important, I need Hil with me and Ed needs a smart girl like you to keep him out of trouble. But I was saving this for a special occasion, but better now eh?" says Rovan as he pulls out a small package from a pocket. He unwraps it and loops the silver chain around Lola's head. On the chain is a small silver heart pendant. "This was my heart will always be with you, no matter where you go."

The party split up... 
Hilmdyn and Rovan
[sblock]
The two men headed towards the School of Ancient Knowledge on muddy Caravan Street. At first, Rovan had some difficulty getting admittance, but an old acquaintance of his family saw him and gained him admittance.
The library was quite comprehensive, and information was found in regards to several subjects of disease and poison, though Rovan admittedly had trouble keeping track of the herbs and plants and curative properties associated with possible cures. It was a lot of unfamiliar knowledge, and he found himself wishing he had someone who understood such healing arts as he muddled through the research...
Luckily, Hilmdyn was with him to make sense of it.
It seemed that the disease came from different names, but it was referred to as Warlock's Bane in a certain book the two found. There was mention of a cure that could be made from a plant called ginsing and another called mentha. The book discussed about the correct parts to make the potion (one part ginsing, per two parts mentha), but unfortunately it didn't say the appropriate dosage.

Mentha is very expensive, but it is used as incense by some cults and religions. You aren't completely familiar with the Temples in the city yet, but now you have more of a reason.

Edvan and Lola
[sblock]
The fighter and the thief found out that the Botany Bay left shortly after they took on their delivery mission. The crew would likely be back, but the ship was gone for weeks to months on end. Some of the more familiar deck hands were more helpful, though, and told the two that Bear sold some goods to gain some coin shortly before he shoved off. He sold the gear to Orsoy the Miser on Anchor Shop, and when Lola and Edvan visited that gruff man he rubbed his unshaven chin and said, "Yep, Bear was here a few days back. Traded some gear from a passenger that died along with some stuff Bear picked up in other ports for some sailing equipment and coin. Most of it was personal effects, armor and some weapons that I traded for silver down at the bazaar. I still got this, however, that I couldn't find a seller for. Might make a nice gift for some lass. Be willing to part with it for 4gp." The man took out a thin box, which he opened to reveal a rose made of pink glass.

"It means everything, thank you." She placed her hand over the heart; it didn't matter what it looked like the thought what was made her pause. She almost wanted to cry, no one had ever been as kind and generous to her as Rovan was and she owed him her life. And now his was in imminent danger. Instead of getting overwhelmed with feeling she kissed him hard until she could keep her rusty emotions under control.
"I will go with Edvan, but you'd better come back to me safe. And alive. If you don't, I'll kill you." She wasn't smiling. She retrieved her bloody dagger from Sills, wiping it down on his shirt. She kissed Rovan again and without another word she hurried out the door to catch up with Edvan.

[sblock]Lola knew it was probably a huge ripoff but there was something about that pretty pink rose... she had seen and had many nice things at the whorehouse but she never really owned something like that for herself. She sidled up a little closer to the gruff man and gave him the big doe eyes. "I really love it but isn't there a way you could give me a bit of a deal? I just don't have that much gold but it's so pretty..." She smiled sweetly at him, staring him down as she did. [/sblock]

[sblock=Lola & Edvan]Edvan stares at the rose. Then he tilts his head and scowls, just a bit, as he tries to get a closer look. He's almost taken by surprise when Lola speaks and he stares at her for a moment before he realizes she's just using her aggressive charm to get what she wants. It makes him a little uncomfortable and he shifts his stance as he waits for her to finish her bargaining.[/sblock]

The old sea-dog began to sweat under Lola's charms, and as she sidled up next to him he almost shrieked his words, "Did I say four gold? I meant two!"

[sblock] Lola grinned while looking at him from under her long eyelashes. "Two sounds so perfect," she said, retrieving two gold coins and placing them in his sweaty palm, "Thank you. I will cherish it always." She reached out her hand for the pink rose. [/sblock]
