Day Two
The new day dawns. Thanks to the healing effects of time combined with the divine ministrations of Shalaye and Crusher Strongbrew, the carnival's resident healer, everyone is back on their feet after yesterday's terrible events.
During the night, the sickness continued to spread through the animals. Now even the reptiles have shown symptoms. Those that aren't enraged are either dying from convulsions or already dead.
Berm, Zantalus, Kaer, and Crusher arrive at the mess tent more or less at the same time. Rorbi is there, serving porridge and bread and apologizing for the lack of meat. In light of the problems with animals, it seems prudent to go vegetarian.
"Thank you for yesterday," Rorbi says to Berm, Zantalus, and Kaer. "Vandro is still a bit shaken up, but he'll be okay in a day or two. Of course, we cannot even trust the fish from the river anymore, can we? So Vandro's favorite thing to do.... It is gone."
