"My name is Ashton,  we really do want to save you, and maybe Urgon didn't have a cure.  But if we can figure out how you both got sick, we may be able to figure out a cure."  He looks at Carina, then turns back to the dwarf.  "Can you tell us how you know Urgon?

Pandora nods to Elmira. "Please start, i never played it before." she says. 

The dwarf looks at Carina with the same hostile look on its eyes.

"Aye! Stop wastin' ya time, you found Tulgi here."

She then stares back into the fire.

"Urgon died from this after he came back, so he brought that curse upon us all. Me will die from this like 'em, so waddo I know?  I thought I find somethin' that leads me to a cure in his house. But I didn't."

She completely ignored Ashton's question about how she knows Urgon.

(Give me some Intimidation, Persuasion roll along with a nice piece of text, that shows how you intimidate or persuade her if you want to try to get more information)

Ashton moves closer to the bed, being careful to not actually touch anything.  "Look, I get it. According to what we heard about you, yiu stay pretty isolated and alone out here.  You feel like no one cares about you, so you dont care about them.  But I promise you that's not true, Elro specifically sent us here to try and find a cure to save you.  They care about you and want you better."

Persuasion: 8

Elmira beats her fist against her hand and shoots -- rock!

Pandora bites her lower lip, beats her fist against her hand and shoots too - rock!  "Next round?" she says with a challenging look to Elmira. 

"So you took nothing from Urgon's cabin?  What did you even think a cure would look like?  And why would you think Urgon had the cure but didn't take it himself?  I do not believe that you are telling us the whole truth.  Seems more likely that what you and Urgon share is the source, not the cure for the sickness.  Speak true now or the door goes back open and we stay here for hours, keeping you awake and in agony.  And you really have nothing to lose by being honest with us.  Put us off though, and this black harmonica around my neck is going to keep you awake for the rest of your short life."

Carina fingers her harmonica and stares down the diseased dwarf.

Intimidation plus Guidance from Xerim:  18 + 3 = 21.

Elmira smirks, "You bet!" She throws down again -- good old ROCK!

As Carina threatens Tulgi, her eyes grow wide and you can see how she fights with herself to decide what to do next. She uncomfortably shifts around on the bed as suddenly the head of a small wolf appears from under the bed.

She pads the wolf and at this moment Carina and Ashton see a gilded blade tucked in an ornate sheath under her shirt.

She looks at you and says:

"As I'm dead anyways, who cares. I stole the stuff that Urgon brought back with him from Eiselcross after he sold it to Pelc's. He'll, that's what we're here for! The Uttolots send us here to watch out for relics that come down from Eiselcross. I stole everything from Pelc's and brought all of it Croakers Cave to me sister Hulil. Well, almost everything..." and she shows you the ornate dagger.

"But that bloody dwarf brought some curse back with him or somethin'. I broke into his house to find some magic or other secrets to sell 'em and travel back to Shadycreek Run to pay one of the priests there to cure me."

"Oh god. i'm a little bit nervous." she says with a wink - ROCK! "Can't believe this. If this continues, we will be old and gray and no one wins."

"So everything that you stole except for that dagger is in Croakers cave?"  Ashton takes a step back from the dagger and the wolf.  "You said they sent 'us' here, how many are in this cave?"  Just you and your sister, or more? How many are sick?"

Ashton yells to those outside. "Hey guys, come check this out?"

History check on dagger. 15

I listen carefully and say to myself. "Pelc's"  

I look at the wolf and check to see if he has any similar symptoms like Tulgi. (Will do a perception and/or medicine check in game log)

Quote from Katzenlu >>

"Oh god. i'm a little bit nervous." she says with a wink - ROCK! "Can't believe this. If this continues, we will be old and gray and no one wins."

 "Let's go one more time... we will find out who is the winner with this one -- scissors!" Elmira throws out her choppy-choppy fingers.

Elmira does indeed hear for her being called for, but is throwing down one more time before rejoining!

Xerim sees that the wolf shows no symptoms of the sickness. Maybe it does not spread onto animals or it does not spread on a natural way, he thinks. However, he knows Pelc's Curiosities. A shop in the village that indeed has ben robbed just about two months ago.

As Ashton looks at the dagger, he recognizes the ornaments on it. This dagger is an artifact from the ancient flying city of Aeor, that crashed into Eiselcross eons ago.

Tulgi looks at Ashton and says:

"I don't know how many of us are there by now. I went here with my sister and she manages them. Maybe ten, maybe more by now. I wasn't there since the first symptoms showed up on me."

She looks down.

"I didn't want her to be sick as well. So, no. Besides me, there is no one else sick. At least not that I know of."

"How long did Pelc's had the items in possession? How long did you have the stolen items in possession?" I ask calmly.

"I called every one in to see if anyone could detect any evil or poison on the dagger." Ashton says to everyone. " I for one have no intention of touching anything that was stolen until I can verify that it is safe.  If we can't verify here, then we can take it, but I'm not sure how to package it."

He looks at the dwarf.  "Thank you for your answers and your honesty. We will try to find a way to cure you.  Is there anything we can do for you in the meantime to show our appreciation?"

"I can find out for you, Ashton. But I need some rest tonight. I will have to do it at dawn's first light, if that's okay." I reassure Ashton. 

(Ooc: Spell is not prepared. Lol. Mostly prepared healing and attack)

Pandora bounces her hand three times before she says "Scissors!" she looks into Elmira's eyes and has to laugh heartily "We will never find a winner." 

Just as she is about to start the next round, she hears Ashton's calls. "I think we have some work to do inside. Let's go." Pandoar says with a hand gesture to encourage Elmira to follow.

Elmira gives a hearty laugh at their luck -- or perhaps they merely thought alike? Either way, Elmira was amused. She nodded along with Pandora's words. "Yes, I believe we won't. Let's attempt to test this theory later."

She joins Pandora inside the cabin and quickly looks around to assess the situation. Tense. "What's this? You think this blade is poisoned or cursed?"

Elmira examines the blade... From a safe distance.

(Not sure what to roll.)

(I rolled a 16 perception. If survival was what you are looking for, then that score changes to an 18. Edit: or 14 if Nature.)
