"Mm. Perhaps I have projected something of myself onto my memory," Quillary nods quietly, closing her eyes over her steaming mug of tea, retreating into herself a bit.

Drusk sees the moisture ring left behind from Quillary's mug of tea. Then thinks about the ghost, and the statue in the town center.
Drusk leans over to Hildigrim and Jorin, so he can talk to them quietly. "Do you think this wizard would know about the mark on your arms?"

"Worth a try," Hildigrim says. He shows the necromancer his arm. "We noticed a strange circular mark on the statue of Amphail and matching marks on my arm and Jorin's. Have you ever seen such before?"
"Aha, you've been in contact with spiritroot recently. Where did you find a sample? Have you been in exotic woodlands recently? Touching the herb often leaves an indelible mark upon your flesh, like the one you have there."

At the request to be made into a zombie, which also came mid-sip, Jorin again chokes on his tea, "By the eight, no. When I am dead, my body will be burned and my spirit will ride the smoke to meet my brothers. I will not be made into a mindless, earthbound creature."
Hildigrim shrugs and starts to answer, but when Jorin has such a strong negative reaction, the halfling follows suit, screwing up his face in disgust. "N-no," he stammers, "of course not."
You are not aware of any spiritroot in your possession. With your recent experience in Tarthwood and the spirit dimension of the moonwell, it was possible for you to accidentally come in contact with this mysterious herb... But with Jorin working with the blacksmiths on his axe, you would have noticed if Jorin had the mark on his arm at that time. He didn't. So that mark appeared sometime later than noon.
(To Jorin) "I'd only zombify someone if it was a positive experience. I won't do anything to make your spirit unhappy... But if you change your mind, let me know?"
(To Quillary) "Rooster came to this shop by himself. He did mention that he had other shops to visit this morning. Was Bitter-Blossom's one of them?"

Marigold nods her head about the mention of B-B. "Bitter-Blossom is a curious druid, indeed. She’s not been quite as bubbly since her sister disappeared but she’s good people anyhow. I raised a rabbit companion of hers once. She was pleased so it was a win all around!

"Yes, the wood of dreams was quite...exotic."

He then quickly chugs the rest of the tea.
