I have had SOME help.  In the oldest part of the inner city i found her, in the big beautiful Bah'dres garden, under the oldest oak tree". He leans forward and whispers to the party "A dryad".  You see, I don't exactly know how she does it, but she was able to retrieve ingredients for me grown in the feywilds.  Feygrown wolfsbane and belladonna!  Magically enhanced, far more deadly, with much greater curative properties.In my search for a cure I would pass by the gardens, always too busy to notice the beautiful peacefulness of the place.  Aside from that, commoners are forbidden from enjoying the gardens.  One particularly hot afternoon though, I cut through on my way home just to save me some time on my trip and to steal a little shade.  I was angry at the time, stressed, overworked and wanting to quit.  To make matters worse, I was finding it difficult to hold my irritability in.  Then suddenly, well the strangest thing occurred, I felt a great tiredness come over me as i stepped into the garden. The temperature dropped to a pleasant cool as a sweet breeze blew by.  I moved around to the back of a comfortable old oak tree and found its roots ran smooth in a gradual arc allowing me to lie down.The tension left Tro'Leeras face as he fixated on the memory.  "Ahhh, such a relaxing rest i had.  I woke up the next morning fully rested, stress levels down.  Afterwards I gained special permission from the Silverfrosts from that point to work on the theory side of my formulae there.  They allowed it without a second thought!  Most others use the central Botanic gardens, which are much larger and littered with boutique snack stalls and the occasional entertainer, so they weren't concerned.  One day, when working on the wolfsbane portion of my formulae, I had another strange nap, waking up with a strange, vibrantly coloured wolfsbane plant right next to me.  Golden petalled flowers with flecks of... Metallic red.  I took just what i needed from the plant and ran off.  After excitedly making sudden leaps and bounds in the cure I continued and similar things kept happening.  I began thanking the garden and the tree for providing for me, again and again.  About the 15th or 16th time, the tree spoke back!  'You're welcome Tro'Leera, Your cause is a noble one, so I shall aide you'.  Well, that's how we met."Tro'Leera smiled, his eyes hazing over with a look of... Admiration?  He snapped out of it, Looking back at Daedarai.  "She can get us the KEY ingredients we need.  The expensive and rareish ingredients you COULD potentially get from the old lab the Silverfrosts set up for me.  As for what i have right now? I can probably scrape up 7 or so cures."He shrugs in Daedarai's direction. "I'm sorry my friend, but I don't know any more than that.  Your best bet for forcing a were-creature to comply is when it is not in its hybrid or animal form.  What i CAN make in abundance is the ingest able liquid you used against me.  Any time you knock one out though, you can use one of these..."He takes out a small leather satchel, pulling out a series of surgical tools and reveals a masterwork clockwork style vialwith a handle on top and a fine metallic tube sticking out of the bottom.  He hands it to Alejandro firstly, indicating he should pass it around"Ahhhh, Gnomish ingenuity is spectacular really.  This device works similar to a poison dagger, delivery of a foreign liquid into the blood! However, it has the added benefit of not doing any real physical harm to the subject due to the size of the tube". You must have some medical training to use it, find veins and deliver it into the blood.  I'm also in the habit of purchasing a replacement tube for each patient in case of... You know-cross-infecting".Tro'Leera once again sits back.  "That's all i can think of at the moment".</blockquote>
