Experimental Convalescence - December 1, 2023

 - You're doing a good job and your hair looks nice dino


- Tiff rushes over to the Hospital Wing and discovers that she now knows the spell Detect Poison and Disease through Aunt Thessalie

- Her observations show her that it is a magical disease which neither Cure Wounds nor Lesser Restoration will touch

- The scaly rash absorbs water and gets visibly worse when the water, so Thessalie sends a nurse (or someone) to get a few chemicals she knows to be desiccants and runs tests on the rashes on the outside of the three patients throats to see if anything will dry out the rash and kill it while also discussing with Osiris and the nurse if Water Breathing and a lungful of water would get around the rash while still allowing them to absorb water and not die of thirst

- Osiris goes down to the Rites wing to autopsy a person who has died of this disease to see how far down the rash goes

 

- Rusty goes to the library of history to show some of the Dwarven artifacts they found

- He meets Adalbert Gamwich and Glorina there

- He sells them all the paperwork, the tapestry, and the small weapons they found in the treasury for 1500GP, which would apparently come from Lord McNabb

- He also offers to translate the one manuscript in Dwarven they have as well the things he's brought them separately.

- He tells them that the manuscript they have is a cookbook for soups and stews, and almost all the recipes have options for when serving non-dwarves (so as not to accidentally poison humans and others less resistant to poison)

- Glorina tries to throw in a clause that Rusty will donate his body to the museum as a dwarven artifact if he dies

- He name drops Tiff as well

- The money will be delivered to the Curlywit Boarding House

 

- Rusty comes back to the hospital and finds Tiff first. She explains what she's discovered about the disease, and he asks if being in a desert environment would help, and she says maybe. She's named the disease Dragonscale Rash

- The two of them go to the teleportation circle with Rusty showing Theophania the "address" to one of the circles he saw in the desert and she figures out where to put all the sigils and activates the portal.

- Rusty goes through because he knows how to activate the device on the other side

 

- Osiris finds that the cadaver just basically has a calcified throat that is so tight they can't breathe or swallow anymore, but doesn't continue into the lungs.

- She then messages Tiff and discovers that she has sent Rusty through the Teleportation Circle. She is EXASPERATED beyond all imagining because they just got Rusty BACK from the desert.  

 

- Rusty appears in the room he recognizes and he sees Breaker and Striker waiting on him there, and they don't have much to report except that his other friends went back home

- He teaches Striker and Breaker how to run the machine so they can send people back to Mistverge, and then he goes back to the Temple.

- He then helps her come up with intravenous fluid injection to prevent dehydration in the patients who can't expose the rash to water

- They end up setting up a small ward for the Dragonscale Rash patients with all their attempts at a remedy and a couple of nurses guarded by Striker and Breaker 

- LONG REST


- 3,000 XP ea for 106,000 XP total ea.
