Anoras (speaking) "Mystic Stripes, I treated the warriors for a long time before I knew about the sorcerer-bird connection. So they were very likely infected. Then they were here with the other warriors and with you, so all of you were likely infected.

"How fast it kills can vary depending upon...wait. You said you also have the power? Oh no. As I said, birdpaux doesn't ordinarily harm humans. But if Wings--and you--had the mystical connection, that's a different story. Even if you've only been connected once. It could be transferred from you to a bird or other animal, or from a bird or other animal to you. That means anyone, a sorcerer or otherwise, who's ever been so connected, even if they're not connected right now, could be affected the same as a bird!

"Please, take the antidote!"

Stripes thinks for a moment. You can't see the expression on his face.

"How many can you give this antidote to? Do you have enough for everyone? The prisoners will need it to: I've seen you tend to them. Will my apprentice need it as well?"

Anoras (speaking): "You are right, Mystic Stripes. I do have enough doses of the safe formula for myself, you, your apprentice, and your warriors. And for maybe one or two prisoners beyond that. I also have ingredients I could use for the prisoners, but they aren't necessarily safe. As a healer, I am hesitant to use that.

"Perhaps it would be better if the prisoners simply kept their distance from anyone who has mystically connected to birds or other animals. But that is, of course, your decision."

"She patched me up, so I'm not in that bad of shape. She said to go to the Castle, so it must be the Castle."

Do I get to make a HT roll for natural healing since new day?

Stripes: "Make the unsafe antidote. We have a few extra. You can test it on a few."

Yes, make your HT roll.

The Translator doesn't respond.

Then she'll give the other Venasir their doses (which of course will have Randy Berries.)

Anoras sighs.

Anoras (speaking): "Very well, Mystic Stripes. You are the mystic here, and I am merely a healer. As I and you and all the Venasir here are taking their safe Venasir doses, I can quickly make a version, that is questionable, for the Haunden. As everything is already prepared and most of it mixed, I can finish this about as fast as a Venasir warrior could chop down a tree."

Anoras, along with making sure all the Venasir took their medicine (especially Stripes), will take the harmless edibles she's already mixed, throw in something safe, and very quickly have it ready for the Haunden.

[ericthered]

Ok, so Stripes and the warriors take the "Medicine". And Anoras and the prisoners take their "Medicine"


20 minutes later, Symptoms start. Most of the warriors are in bad shape.



But Stripes and Two warriors seem to have nothing more than queasiness: nothing that will actually slow them down. One of the warriors is uninjured, the other is the glaive warrior (below HP/3).



(those HT rolls were better than anticipated, especially for Stripes)

I apologize for not making my meaning clear. The reasons Anoras said "I can finish this about as fast as a Venasir warrior could chop down a tree", and why she decided to "throw in something safe, and very quickly have it ready", was because she had plans for those 20 minutes.

Anoras' plan was to prepare the "Haunden medicine" very quickly, i.e., use things she's already mixed, throw in something safe, and have it read in a couple minutes or so. She purposely didn't specify what size tree she was referring to a Venasir warrior cutting down because she didn't want to give the Venasir any more information than necessary. (From years of living in the woods, I've chopped down a tree with an axe in less than five minutes--but that was a very small tree. A big tree can take me a whole lot longer.)

She planned to talk to the Haunden while giving them the "medicine" before the Venasir had side effects.

You can still do that. Go ahead and speak to them.

Thanks I really appreciate that. I'll need to give this some thought to avoid playing out-of-character knowledge. (I.e., I know Stripes won't get "zapped" by the medicine as Anoras had hoped, while Anoras doesn't.)
