My best guess now is that the townsfolk were somehow continually connected to the blight. It could be that they were somehow attached to stones repeatedly for short periods of time. But then they would have a memory of it, wouldn't they? Or perhaps the mysterious undead presence in Greensfen has something to do with it. Who knows?""As for the stones," he says, "I wish I could tell you where they are. But I have no idea.""Speaking of things I can't find, it occurs to me that I don't have any of my potion making equipment with me. I don't suppose any of you have anything like that? No? We'll have to improvise. Elloen, I mean, the dark thing controlling Elloen told you the truth about one thing - I did have most of my supplies with me when I last left Greensfen, and my captors did not do me the courtesy of leaving them behind for us to find.""But never mind that," he continues, strangely cheerful. "I'm making this up as I go along anyway! Perhaps the plant itself will be enough. We shall see when we get to the flower patch. Come, let's get ready to go."He steps outside the tent and into a small clearing in the forest. "Ah, it is good to be outside again! I feel some life in my veins once more." He points his hand at a low bush and mutters something in an alien tongue. Blue fire crackles from his fingers and singes the bush. It is a relatively minor display compared to Joshua's powers, but impressive nonetheless. "And it looks like I won't prove totally worthless to you in battle should we come across any trouble. Are you ready to go? It is no more than an hour's walk to the plant patch." [sblock=OOC]OK, just to get this out of the way. Mardrick is not a hero, and thus not a  full PC (don't want to play one since that might get obnoxious fast). He's more like a lvl 0 warlock <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />. I'm giving him some very rudimentary fighting powers in case you get in a fight with him. Here's some stats which I am basically making up on the fly (what else is new).[sblock=Mardrick Battle Stats]Speed 5AC 10, Fort 10, Ref 12, Will 12HP 16, surge value 4, 4 surges/dayOne attack power:Blue flame - ranged, +2 VS Ref; 1d4+2 damage.No melee weapons or melee attacks.Curse, minor action - nearest enemy, get 1 tmp hp when deadNo action points.
