[RP] Poor Sick Dwarf

[Sillamon]

Sillamon gets Sick

[ Full logs here Sillamon Get Sick  ]

Sillamon wakes up feeling dreary and blue. He has no appetite whatsoever and a mild headache. Not a typical morning. Leaving Kada El's he hobbles down the steps leading to the Den while holding onto the side of the wall. He counts the steps as he goes. Having hit the last one he takes his staff and feels for the paving blocks on the side of the street. He then heads for the plaza feeling the curb with his staff as he goes.

*cough* *cough* ...  "Darn ! When's this cold going to clear up ?" Sillamon licks his lips. " This bloody smell and taste can't be good." Sillamon then kneels on the ground in the plaza, raises his head to the sky and stretches his arms out as if to hug. He prays in a humble tone "Xiosia dear. I know that you know about my cold and I trust that if its your will - it will get better in time.. Thank you Xiosia, and good day"

He then stands and makes his way towards the smith hoping to find a healer. He is greeted by a young Demorian woman named Anibela who is looking to sell some hand made swords. Though he does not use weapons he agrees to buy a few swords with the remainder of his money. Perhaps they"l make nice gifts for young adventurers. During the course of conversation he coughs a few times spraying a fine mist of blood. The conversation comes to a close and they depart.

Sillamon blindly calls out for a healer as he wanders away hoping that someone will hear him. He loops through the plaza and sits on the cool, rough flagstone pavement feeling rather tired. Moments later he hears a soothing voice.

A Nolthrir woman named Caira greets Sillamon and checks to see what's wrong. During the conversation Caira notices that he is sick. She asks some questions, makes a list of who he has been in contact with, and then brings him to the sanitorium where she tries to examine him and figure out what he has. She finds a bottle of medicine and gives him a spoon full. It tastes like treppor dung but he swallows it. She tells him that it should help to relieve some of his symptoms temporarily, and then tucks the sleepy dwarf into bed. She sits by his side until he drifts off to sleep.

OOC Notes

This RP is open to anyone who wants to join in.

There is an IC message regarding the sickness on the Hydlaa message board.
This is not a mary-sue plot. The plot will deepen as the story unfolds. ( it may intertwine with other events too )
Feel free to add your own summaries and/or logs.

About the Sickness:

The sickness is contagious but its up to the player to decide if their character catches it or not.

The sickness has three stages and should last about two weeks  ( again this is up to the player )

  Stage 1. Coughing and sneezing blood ( should start out small and progress ), possible headache
  Stage 2. Tiredness, loss of appetite, sneezing and coughing subsides
  Stage 3. Unconsciousness or death

Conventional potions and spells should not work. The point in this is to open the opportunity to RP  investigation, experimentation, and a creative cure
If one dies from the sickness they will be restored to health as with any other fatal injury.
Don't expect one cure to work for everyone.

No IC info in needed to get sick. One only needs to be exposed to a sick character

  Sillamon Meets Kran  
  Discussion between Sillamon and Mellas at the Sanitorium
]

A Kran with a Cure ?

Sillamon wakes up again feeling lousy. He wanders out of the sanitorium to stretch his legs. A large Kran approaches him. The two have a discussion in which the Kran learns that Sillamon is sick too. Kra tells Sillamon that kra has a cure for him. Kra gives him a dark blue bottle containing a potion and instructs him to drink it. Immediately Sillamon feels much better. The Kran then tells Sillamon of kra's concerns that the disease might be linked to the plague outbreak in Ojaveda. Before kra departs kra hands Sillamon eight sacks and instructs him to place them in various locations. They smell just as bad as the potion Sillamon drank. Kra warns Sillamon to not tell anyone about the cure or the eight sacks. Kra is suspicious about the origin of the sickness and suspects foul play. Sillamon reaches out to shake kra's hand as he thanks kra. He notices though that the stony hand has a strange depression in the middle of it. It feels like a hole.

Holy hands ?

The next day Sillamon awakens from another deep sleep. He wanders about the plaza and takes a seat by the fountain. His cough is almost gone but he feels lethargic again. He wonders if the cure is working or not. Caira notices that he is up and about and inquires. Sillamon explains that he was feeling better and begins to mention that a Kran gave him a potion but then remembers his agreement and tries to back track by saying he found the potion. Carira upon inspecting the potion noticed that it smelt like Trefoil - and agent that makes one open to suggestion. Later on Mellas see the two and joins in. The three take a walk to the sanitorium. They sit down and discuss the Kran some more after calling Sillamon on his lie. Deeply ashamed he explains that he agreed not to tell anyone about the cure per the Kran's inscructions. Supposedly the Kran suspected foul play and did not want word to get out. Upon mentioning the hole he discovered in the Kran's hands Mellas' eyes widened as if remembering something.

I'm really liking where this RP is going. 
If the kran is who I think he is, then there might be an interesting twist

It would be nice that each race has a different reaction to illnesses though, there should be more official books written on the topic of healing >.>
I mean, wouldn't kran be immune to blood infections, considering they're stone? Maybe the disease would infect one race worse than the other... maybe diaboli could endure it longer than humans, for example.
Just my 2 tria. It's up to the character.

[Timmothy Perriwinkle]

Kra tells Sillamon that he has a cure for him. He gives him a dark blue bottle containing a potion and instructs him to drink it.

Watch your Kra's.

[LigH]

Kran are not exactly "made of stone", but have "silicon based organics", with a more resistant but not rock-hard skin, and body fluids. Well possible though, that microbes infecting carbon based organics may not be able to infect Kran (as easily / at all).

Dr. Lesiros Forita is surgeon only, which may not be a great help in this case; but he will discuss this matter with Gag Harmond (son of an apothecary) and Solita Desolo (herbs collector) to try to make a curing potion, if possible...

Fooled !

[ Full logs here: Fooled !  ]

Schetkes spots Sillamon standing near a street light need the Red Crystal Den. Noticing that Sillamon appears to be unwell he inquires and lears of his sickness. He tell Sillamon about two Nolthrir women that were helping out another sick dwarf and suggested contacting them. When asked their names Sillamon was pleased to hear that he was refering to Mellas and Caira. Schetkes then began to inquire about how Sillamon got sick. Sillamon was pretty sure it wasnt the food at Kada El's. Her was at a loss. Schetkes then inquires about whether or not it could be the water and eventally mentioned that he had found some questionable items in the public fountains - sacks filled with rotten meat and other types of gunk. Upon hearing this Sillamon sank to the ground with his face in his hands. He was on the verge of crying upon hearing this. Schetkes asked Sillamon what was wrong. Perhaps scared and ashamed Sillamon began to explain. A Kran had met him the other day and offered him a cure. The potion offered seems to work immediately. He was excited to be well and when the Kran suggested putting eight sacks of *medicine* into the public water supply, the pool in the Xiosia garden, and the fountain in the plaza he jumped at the opportunity to help. Apparently Schetkes had removed the sacks and placed them next to the fountains however the sacks were missing. They wondered if perhaps the Kran found them and was planning on putting them back in. They discussed motif but could not figure out why anyone would do such a thing.

A Visit From the Octarch's Niece

[ Full logs here: A Visit From the Ochtarch's Niece  ]

While laying in jail on a bench the door creaks open and a heavily armed guard escorts a young Nolthrir woman in. Rigwyn continues to lay on the wooden bench, sickened and tired. The Nolthrir approaches Rigwyn and introduces herself. Upon realizing that she was a friend of Joale he rudely tells her to leave.  She tells him about a sick elderly dwarf and inquires about how he got sick hiowever he refuses to answer as he's not interested in helping.

Caira then tricks him into thinking that she's the Octarch's niece and threatens to ensure that he does not get out. Not wanting to rot in jail he talks . He tells her of an encounter with a strange Maulber that he could not kill. The Maulber had chain around its neck with an amulet attached. The chain appeared to be very tight - tight enough that that there was blood on the neck of the Maulber where the chain touched.

Caira did not appear to believe him but this was all he knew. He then demanded to be let out as agreed. The guard however smirked and claimed that she did not have a key. She then escorts Caira out as Rigwyn shouts "Tell your boyfriend Joale he's dead too !"

[Caira]

"Tell your boyfriend Joale he's dead too !"

Over Caira's dead body. 

This is a wonderful RP Rigwyn, I'm really enjoying it!

 Oh, and poor Sillamon! Dannae and Caira found one of the sacks of rotten meat in the Xiosia Garden, which Dannae quickly removed. We were wondering who would do such a thing, but this comes a complete shock! You really know how to keep us on our toes! I'm dying to know who tricked Sillamon into doing it in the first place, but I'm sure we'll find out in time 

Oh, and anyone up for a maulber hunt?

Sillamon was sitting by the furnaces surrounded by a few friends. Tinwei hops over to them, concerned about Sillamon's state. Having been told by Trogdar that he'll get better, she breathes a sigh of relief. Sillamon offers a flower to Tinwei, who eagerly runs over and takes the flower. She sits down in front of Sillamon, gathering her other flowers and fooling around with them. The infant, Feedro comes up and snuggles into the arms of a surprised Sillamon. Sillamon does a few coughs and sneezes, spraying small red droplets over Tinwei and Feedro, and the flowers. A concerned Trogdar tries to point out the children shouldn't be there but doesn't get his point through when Feedro wanders off, with Tinwei following and the flowers in her pack.

{Will they get sick? Only time will tell..... }

{Hehe this is fun. *laughs maniacally as she watches the citizens of Hydlaa spiral into sickness and death.* Be wary of the diseased FLOWERS (and if you refuse it as if you knew they're diseased already you FAIL ) }

Bad news

[ Full logs here: Bad News   ]

Sillamon is laying on the grass in a shady spot near the Laanx temple. He's tired of being stuck in the tent all alone. While humming a tune as he usually does a curious citizen named Alirukell greets Sillamon. They talk for a while and Sillamon conveys his concerns about possibly being to old to make it back from the death realm this time.   Alirukell asks sillamon if he may examine him. He is concerned about the sickness and wants a better understanding of it. After placing a piece of cloth over his face he begins to use blue way magic to probe Sillamon. After a few attempts he sees that the Illness is occuring in stages and that the fact that Sillamon's cough has been clearing up is not in indication that he is getting better - rather his condition is worsening. He also sees that the next stage sillamon will be a semi-permanent state of unconsciousness floowed by true death. Thiddin, a Fenki with a familiar voice shows up and watches the two. She inquires about the topic of the conversation. Visibly distressed, Sillamon explains his situation. After a while Alirukell offers to take a sample of blood and saliva from Sillamon. He allows Alirukell to take the sample despite being nervous about being tricked again after receiving some reassurance from Thiddin.

Geoni Lavu worked on a vaccine, but Euli Velehi was so careless to drink beer after trying it, which led to an inner stomach perforation. Doctor Forita did a quick surgery, with some support from Thidin Peloosey and Alirukell Linesar, but might have infected during this. Also Tinwei Havefor showed signs of an infection. They will now stay in the sanatorium, just to be safe.

Dr. Lesiros Forita talked with Geoni Lavu about the vaccine recipe and started a try of optimizing it. The resulting herbal fruit jam got tested by himself and Tinwei already, while Euli recovers from her surgery and should try it after waking up.

Alirukell Linesar instead experimented with some more specific approach, based on infected blood. This is a technique Dr. Forita does not know. But it seems to be promising as well.
