I've ensorcelled him with my great and formidable arcane powers!," says Auntie Mab, waggling her fingers at Xander in a manner that she clearly thinks is spooky and mysterious. Tristram the rat seems unimpressed though, rolling his eyes at his elderly mistress as he sips his whiskey."You see, I'm a fey-touched seer love. I was granted my powers by Luran, a dashing and handsome fey-lord. Luran, he's my... well... he's my friend. A very special friend dearie," says the old woman, blushing slightly. "We've been on many adventures together, not to mention more than a few romantic moonlit walks in the forests of Arcadia," she adds with a sly wink.[sblock="Insight 18"]Something about Auntie Mab's description of her relationship with Luran rings false.[/sblock]"Thank you for your sympathies dearie. That's very kind of you," Auntie Mab says to the dragonborn, "Sometimes it's more than I can do just to keep up with poor little Yenros' treatments. He's been in this coma for almost a month now, ever since he fell sick from... what did the healer call it?... 'partially abortive wraith sickness' I think it was. See there was an undead attack on East Daunton a few weeks back, where my sister Therella's family lives... Lived, I mean to say. You see the awful things killed my sister, her husband, and her daughter, and they injured her son Yenros terribly. Ever since he's been in this strange kind of sleep. He doesn't breathe, and his heart doesn't beat, but he's not dead. His poor little body is warm to the touch, and sometimes his eyes move like they do when you dream.""The healer says he's never seen anything like it. Most cases of wraith sickness end up with the poor victim dying and becoming another wraith, but for some reason that didn't happen to little Yenros. They say there's not much they can do for him, except keep applying the unguents and reagents, and wait to see what happens. The healer told me that that weird old wizard Doddoddod might be able to help with his strange Oan magics, but I can't afford his consulting fee," Auntie Mab says disconsolately.</blockquote>
