OOC: Assuming Alaric translates...
The dragon says, "Not a spell...Dragon Plague. All Dragons have. Shraezek finds humans, finds help. Humans help Shraezek?" The dragon points at itself when it says the word Shraezek, apparently indicating its name.
Meanwhile, Valen follows the strange tracks toward the mountains for a short distance. The dragon's tracks stop abruptly at a nearby clearing where the dragon obviously landed heavily after flying. The pointed tracks continue back toward a sheer cliff face...and up it. Valen finds no signs of any tracks leading to the other campsite. He does spot a humanoid figure scouting around their camp, though it is a bit too dark to make out the figure's race.
OOC: What's everyone doing while Valen is scouting around?

OOC: hopefully yes, Alaric is our benevolent trnaslator otherwise thid may take soeme time to repeat every post..
Upon the answer of the young dragon, Johen turns to his comrades: "I know about healing powers of Nature.. I can cure some basic diseases but this plague is beyond me.. Personally I think we need to help that dragon though we're taking a risk as our mission shoudl still be our priority.."
HE turns back to ALaric to get this question translated: "Maybe he knows how to cure the plague and seeks humans' help.. let's ask him.."
Johen continues to 'discuss' and has totally forgotten that Valen is off in the woods or even the notion of orcs in the vicinity. His attention is solely on sorting this young draogn health.

Aohdan commented to Johen and Alaric. "He isn't nessesarily a dead weight to our mission. He has been in the area longer than we most likely, and may know something of it. Maybe he knows something about Silvergard, or zombie plagues, or other somesuch relevant information. Just ask..." He indicated the dragon with an outstretched hand, palm up in an inviting gesture.

Alaric readily translates into Draconic for the others.
After Johen's most recent question though, he just says "I don't think that's the case. Most likely, he's just hoping that some other race might know some special cure his kind does not, but I doubt it. Perhaps the Tureni know some healing secrets, but I doubt there's anything that Azgundi or Thayvian lore could do for them that dragons could not do for themselves."
To the dragon, he asks "You don't know what kind of cure to look for, do you? Do you know how long dragons have been sick like this?"
Alaric just sits in the camp for now, and tries to think of what settlements, temples, or the like might be relatively close in this region. Any place that might have some sage or healer that could, perhaps, be able to help. Within perhaps a week or two of travel by foot or by horse, since he figures the dragon can probably move faster than he can, if he can think of anywhere to point it towards.
(ooc: It's official. InvisibleCastle hates me now with a passion. Terrible rolls for the past two weeks or so in both games where I've been using InvisibleCastle. Knowledge - Geography (1d20+4=9) )

OOC: Bonus weekend update since everyone has posted! 
(Don't get used to it. ![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
)
Shraezek shakes its head, "Shraezek doesn't know what cure is. If humans don't know, Shraezek will look somewhere else. Dragons have plague for two seasons, many die."
Alaric's knowledge of this area, or at least his memory of it, doesn't come up with anything that might be useful, although common knowledge tells him that the Adventurer's Guild headquarters back in the capital has many magical resources.
Meanwhile, the scouting ranger notes the scout from the other camp appears to be patrolling the perimeter of his own camp...however, he seems to have noticed Valen watching him because he suddenly looks in Valen's direction and then turns abruptly back toward his camp.

"Well....the only advice I can give is to go that way for several more days. The first city you see will be Vedlund, go around it and follow the road further that way. Then you will see another city, a big one. Fly over there and look for a building like this..." Alaric tells the dragon, describing the capitol of Azgund and in particular the Adventurer's Guild headquarters.
"I'll write a note, and you can give it to someone in that building. People might be scared of you at first, just tell them 'Alaric sent me'. Someone there can read the note and then they might be able to help you, Shraezek. Or they can tell you where to look next. My teacher, Entan, might know something to help you, or might know where you can look for a cure." he continues. When he says 'Alaric sent me' he says it in Azgundi, wanting the dragon to repeat it in Azgundi when he gets to town. Alaric is momentarily amused at the thought of all the ruckus he might cause in town by sending a small dragon flying in to deliver a note.
Alaric will get out a piece of parchment from his pile of stuff by the bedroll, cast a Light spell on his pen, and start writing out a short letter to Entan 'or whoever else gets this message' in the Guild. He'll sketch a rough image of his face on the lower half of the page, plying his minor artistic skills, just so it's more obvious that the letter's from him. He will of course mention himself in the letter, and what the dragon has said about the draconic affliction.
He mentions the dragon's name as Shraezek, and marks down the date so Entan or whoever else reads it will know when he sent the letter. Alaric also briefly writes about the zombie/ghoul affliction he saw in the stone quarry near Vedlund, and mentions the strange bandits that appeared and disappeared earlier today, describing what he can of their appearance and such. He'll tell the dragon not to put the note in his mouth or otherwise get it wet, because it will ruin the message.
