Team Alfa Twenty-Third Session

Notes

Return to Town

• As the group approaches Mithril Springs they see a crude sign hangs from the nearest tent: QUARANTINE. Doc Redrock is there and tries to shoo them away saying "Go away, dummies! Shoo! Shoo!"
• Gorra and the Doc talk in detail about the diseases, a dual outbreak of Sight Rot and Cackle Fever.
• Doc has the patients separated into 3 tents. 1 for patients who have only Sight Rot (which includes many gnomes as they are immune to Cackle Fever), 1 for patients who only have Cackle Fever, and 1 for patients with both.
  • The current infection count is cackle fever: 4, sight rot: 6, double-infected: 14.
  • The current death count is 5.
• Doc is being assisted by Catastrophe Janet and Pastor Griff.
• Gorra and Wolf aid the doc while Sid directs Gorra in questioning the patients. Due to their illness the patients provide very little useful information.
• Thola resummons Owlbert as an octopus and sends her down a well to investigate.
  • Mal sees this and sends one of his minions, Johnny, to stay with Thola to "maybe keep folk from mixing it up" with her and/or keep an eye on her.

Day 2

• Gorra comes down with cackle fever shortly after going to the triage tents.
• The rest of the party continues investigating the wells by lowering Owlbert and an unarmored Wolf who casts Detect Poison and Disease.
• The first few wells reveal nothing, but in the 4th one Wolf finds a dead halfling with a slit throat who had been infected with sight rot.
  • The halfling had been dead for at least a week and his body is in a poor state and beyond identification. The only remarkable thing found from searching is poker chips.
• To be thorough, they search the last well and find nothing else.
• While the body is burned Reth organizes a team to fill up barrels with water to be magically purified so no one needs to use the wells until the disease dissipates.
