Message: <blockquote data-quote="Taboo" data-source="post: 484509" data-attributes="member: 5912">Return to Oakhurst continued......Just a short post as we have some heavy character development/roleplaying in Oakhurst.  Each section was written by each player, and the PC's name begins each section.*************Meanwhile..........Kierwin:Kierwin flashed a smile at Turk, knowing he didn't see her as he left for the temple, but she hoped he felt it just the same.  They headed toward the Boar’s Inn to book rooms for the night. Kierwin and Minx asked if there was a room available in the back where there was a view of the sunset. Fortunately, there was. After that, they headed for Kerowyn Hercule's place to trade the gems and jewelry that they had found in the citadel. They had already talked about it on the way back to Oakhurst, since Kierwin didn’t want to go alone.They got there, and after making the trade, they also told Kerowyn that they were sorry they hadn’t found out much about her children yet. They had to come back to town to rest and heal after so many fights. They had found signs of the other party in the Citadel, but there were no signs that anything had happened to them, but they were going to keep looking. They were leaving to go back in the morning when they were back at full strength.Kierwin looked around the shop, and her eyes lit up when she saw a certain emerald gown. "Minx, it’s beautiful, and I’m so tired of wearing the same clothes I was kidnapped in. It matches my eyes! I want to buy it, what do you think? I know it’s a little expensive, but I’ve never had anything so beautiful." Minx:Minx smiled and nodded. She thought it was a little too formal for their travels, but that was okay. As for herself, she had the tailor fix up her emerald green gown and her cloak, and was good to go. Kierwin:Kierwin didn’t know anything about the rash that Minx showed her, but wanted to accompany Minx to the temple to see Dem. DM:They got to the temple and met Dem who turned out to be just over 3 feet tall and with fairly tan skin, blue eyes and light colored hair. She was a very kind and mellow person, and had a very warm demeanor. She was the town's healer and knew a lot about injury and disease. She said that she had heard of people that had been lucky enough to survive a battle with a Mummy only to contract a disease known as 'Mummy Rot'. She was very impressed that your group was able to put the thing down. It seems that Mummy Rot was pretty obscure because it was a supernatural disease rather than a natural one and fortunately there were not hordes of mummies roaming about. But, of course most people wouldn't survive an encounter to tell about it. She could sense Minx's increasing concern about the Rot and her rash so she tried to get back Minx on track. She had never seen Mummy Rot in person but from what she could recall about it was that its affects were not immediate but that it slowly lessened a persons vitality and health until they died. Someone that died of the Rot shriveled away into sand and dust. The healthier the person, the longer they could last. Some people don't even realize at first that anything was wrong until a day or two had passed and they start to feel run down. It could be cured only through magical means and unfortunately she was not strong enough to channel that kind of power. She told Minx that her companion, Turk, had been blessed by Pelor Himself and perhaps he had the power to cure her? Sometimes Pelor's chosen Holy Warriors were gifted with the ability to remove disease. Also, Sir Bradford was a Chosen of Pelor and if he was still alive somewhere in the Citadel he may have the power. Of the course the Apple should have the power to cure her, it may be ripe enough to pick. The apple was a sure fire way if you could find it. All she knew about it was that it must come from somewhere in the Citadel as they have never found that kind of tree anywhere and the goblins were the only ones known to ever posses one. The town tried every year to plant the seeds from the apple to see if they can grow a tree but after the weedy looking shootings reach a few feet in height they were gone. The township figures the Goblins must steal them at night so no one else has a tree. Dem regrets that she couldn't cure Minx of it, If that is what she had, "that rash does look rather Dry and flaky.. hhmm!" "Well stop by in the morning and I have a blessing I can give you that will bolster your health and endurance for several hours, maybe that will help if that is what it is." Minx:After speaking with Dem, the two Elves went back to the Inn. Minx joined the others at a table for supper while Kierwin headed upstairs with her new gown. When Kierwin appeared again a while later, she had on her new dress and was headed for the door. Minx looked up and watched her leave, a concerned look on her face. She stayed in the tavern with Snap for several hours, and then finally headed up to her room to await Kierwin. She crawled into bed with a book until sleep overcame her.***********To be continued with further adventures in a return to Oakhurst.</blockquote>
