This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Eline dispels her Ice Knife spell on her forearm, realizing what's going on. Gods, this was so complicated and difficult. First, Trem contracts the illness, and now a whole innocent family could have potentially contracted it. It was now down to the money on finding that cure. Eline wonders... She thinks hard and tries to form a conclusion she had not yet considered before. Could... Could he have been behind the making of this thing? She would need to get a hold of the vial Trem and Roxi procured, and study its contents. Obviously there was some alchemy involved, and there was very real magic working with it as well. Could he have orchestrated this thing's creation in some way? She wouldn't put it past him. Killing people was what her father Mikhail was best at, and would take great pains to make sure deaths were as horrible and drawn out as possible.
(Thinking on everything we've known and learned so far about the Frigid Woe, I'm going to roll a generalized Insight check for Eline, to see if any of this is in congruence with how her evil father would handle his craft of death. Eline wants to know if anything looks like--or points to--her evil father is somehow involved in all of this.)
10 Insight to determine if there is even some inkling of her father's involvement in all of this.
She then turns to the grieving Hulil, and asks, "I have a question for you. If you don't know the answer, I won't hold it against you. If you do, then you have my word: we'll leave you be. We have other questions, and time is short. We will try to be brief."
Roxaria politely nods to the mourning Hulil and Raegrin before exiting with Trem and Eline.
”I don’t know where Kha and Reginald disappeared to; however, we generally know that the Jolly Dwarf is our presumed meeting spot. Let us go back there and wait for Kha and Reginald. We can warm up, get some rooms for the evening, determine our next plans and fill up on food and drink.”
Roxaria enters the Jolly Dwarf to see Reginald and Kha. She half-heartedly smiles, a look of concern and stress on her face. ”Where’d you and Kha run off to? We went to Tulgi’s place. She’s dead. Hulil and her escort were there, but we did not intervene with Hulil’s mourning of her sister. Separate note, I found Irven and the vial. Trem has it right now. Don’t touch the vial, otherwise you’ll be afflicted with the disease…” Roxaria pauses sadly, and with an attempt at some dark humor she continues with, “Ask me how I know.”
Roxaria raises her hand to Arl at the bar signaling for a pitcher of ale and some glasses. She heads to the party’s table they’ve sat at before.
Reginald orders a warm drink and responds, "Kha and I were making a report to Elro, he informed us he will have a ship ready to take us to Eisle Cross to look for a cure tomorrow morning. He offered an additional 300 gold as incentive. The only cure was made by Aeor mages. It's a milky liquid in gold vials."
"Perhaps we should hand out the shares that Elro gave us for finding out what the disease is, get our gear collected for tomorrow, THEN start drinking." Reginald says with a smile. He then gives everyone 25 gold pieces (OOC: 150 divided by 6). He then sits and thinks of the equipment he will need. "Let's see... tent, torches, 10 days rations, another skin for water, a couple other sundries items, definitely another healer's pack... and another set of cold weather gear."
The Gnome finishes his drink, "Hopefully the shops haven't closed yet, else it will be me scrambling tomorrow morning to get the equipment before the meeting with Elro."

“Eiselcross, you say? Well, I suppose we ought to figure out what we’ll need to bring with us. I’ve never been to Eiselcross. I presume it’s big enough that if we forget something here we can acquire there. I think maybe a couple more healer’s kits would be a nice addition after nearly losing Kha.”
Roxaria pours herself a drink and takes her time drinking it.
”I suppose some more rations are in order as well. Did Elro say how long the journey would take to Eiselcross by ship?”
Roxaria gets a napkin and starts jotting items to get and shares it with the others to add on:
Eline seats herself at the table, and watches everyone, quiet and a little unsure of herself. She takes a moment to bring out her sketch book, and let's her mage hand doodle idley while she writes for a drink. She observes as Trem sits down with Kha. She hopes he will be alright--that they all will find that cure soon.
She looks over at Roxaria, wondering. The elven Glassblade seems quite on edge, and extremely tense, despite her drive. Something must be wrong. Eline hopes beyond hope that Roxi hasn't caught the sickness in some way. It's just all so unfair!
"Ah, damn! Not you too, Roxy." Kha slumps slightly in his chair. He looks up at Teem, eyebrow arched, as the bottle hits the table and gives a nod. "Well, I guess now I have a better reason to stick around," he says to Roxaria.
"So... What are we drinking to?" Kha looks to Trem and snatches up the bottle off the table. "I hope you got yourself one."
The gnome pauses a bit before answering, "Actually, no, he did not... All I know is that Eisel Cross is to the East of here by boat or ship, probably a couple days travel at least."
"Perhaps we should hand out the shares that Elro gave us for finding out what the disease is, get our gear collected for tomorrow, THEN start drinking." Reginald says with a smile.

The Gnome finishes his drink, "Hopefully the shops haven't closed yet, else it will be me scrambling tomorrow morning to get the equipment before the meeting with Elro."
Trem gives the 25gp back. You look like you know what you're doing, take my gold and prep for me please, I've got to make things right with Kha.

More than 1 actually! Trem unloads all the wine he bought and gives Kha a big grin. Better not let it go to waste!
"Alright Trem, I'll get you a basic setup, and will be back soon with your equipment and the rest of your money.", responds Reginald. The gnome then quickly leaves to get the equipment before the shops close.

"Does the name Mikhail Rygr ring a bell, Hulil?"
Hulil shakes her head and focused back on her deceased sister
Damn it! Eline knew it would have been a long shot, but she had to ask anyway. She steps back, letting the others take their turns.
Trem lowers his bow.
You're lucky I'm in a forgiving mood today! Come we've got a cure to find!
Trem turns and walks away. (Trem would also like to find 5gp worth of alcohol, as much as possible (quantity))

Reginald accompanies Kha back to the Inn to make their report to the rest of the group.
Cats go Moo!

(At this time everyone can make any preparations needed and I will continue once every says they've gone to bed)
(I think 5gp buys Trem 25 pitchers worth of common wine (2sp for a pitcher))
He walks over to Kha, slams 1 of the bottles on the nearest table.
You! Me! Drink!

Roxaria chases out after Reginald. “I’ll go with you. You can’t carry it all by yourself.”
Trem starts drinking. At first he doesn't say much, but that changes as he drinks more. Turns out Trem is a crying-I-love-you-bro-drunk.
