"Nice place you got here," Kae says as she follows Milo down the spiral staircase. She nods along as he recaps her story. She's pleasantly surprised by the simplicity of his request. "You just need bit of blood? You mean you don't have to have, like, a dragon scale or a giant's tooth or anything? Sounds great! The gang and I shouldn't be going too far for a bit, so you can feel free to take your time and everything. Let's see, a bit of blood..." Kae glances at her pocket knife. "Uh... you probably have some syringes, right?"

Kae looks at her jacket, which hasn't been cleaned in a while. "Oh, you might be able to get a bit of pre-transformation me blood from this thing, if that helps at all." She shows Milo a fairly big blood splotch from the fight with Klarg.

Zal Perception: 15. [17]

Whereas most pet owners might either dismiss or show only mild concern for their growling companions (so long as the threat wasn't obvious), Zalosultuvan is immediately on edge and reaching for a weapon and squinting at the woods. "Steady, girl, steady." He whispers just loud enough for wolf. "Let it come to us." 

"That won't be necessary my dear." Milo tells you. "Blood from your current state will suffice." 
"Greta!" Milo yells.
A door opens along the north wall of this room and a young human woman dressed in purple scrubs comes out.
"Yes Doctor?" he says.
"Please take Miss Kae to room 1 and draw a vial of her blood." Milo tells the nurse.
Turning to Kae he says. "Just follow her my dear and she will get what we need to start looking into your case."
The nurse gestures Kae to follow her.
"Just take a seat lad." Earl tells Eddie. "She won't be long."

Zal:

"Whilst my friend is with the nurse, perhaps we can discuss the other reason for our visit. Any tinctures, potions, or curatives that you have in stock which could help my companions and I if we are required to engage in fisticuffs would be greatly appreciated. You wouldn't happen to stock potions of healing or something similar?"

Zal squints even harder in the direction of the noise. "What in the nine-...?" He whispered, and then startled to shuffle a step closer to what he believed to be the source of the disturbance. However, in remembering CC, the rangered opted to scoop her up and hold her in the crook of an arm, before slowly back away and at least begin heading back towards the house, never once letting his eyes roam away from the spot.

And if at no point nothing moves to attack him by the time he reaches the car again, he goes that one step further in approaching the gnome's house once more, and readily knock on their door if Eddie and the other gnome weren't still outside.

Zal:
Zal sees no further movement as he backs up, CC in his arms.
He makes his way back to the house. The door is ajar and he can hear Eddie and Earl engaged in small talk.

Eddie:
"We produce all kinds of liquid marvels," Earl tells Eddie a bit too enthusiastically. "Let me go get you a catalog so you can peruse our inventory." 
With that Earl leaves the room. 

Kae:
Kae's experience is that of a phlebotomist engaging in her work. Wrapping Kae's arm in a thin, elastic cord Nurse Greta completes her task of drawing 4 vials of blood from Kae's arm. 
Once bandaged, Nurse Greta leads Kae back into the waiting area. 

The return of Kae to the waiting area also heralds the return of Earl with a thin magazine. Earl hands the book to Eddie.
"Our complete catalog," Earls says as he hands it over.

((Assuming Zal returns))
Moments later the three of you are joined by Milo.
"Sorry to keep you waiting but something came up and I had to speak with a customer." he says with a smile. "Now we have the blood draw out of the way, You have intrigued me. Most people would have kept the potions you found, considered them the spoils of war. But you returned them. This leads me to ask if I can impose upon your kindness to do a little task for me."
Milo pauses to let it sink in .
"Between here and the Orchard there is a set of woods on the east side of the road. These woods cover a small hill and with the recent rain and the summer heat, the hillside has been known to produce morel mushrooms, which I must confess I have an obsession for the dastardly things. I would go myself but, I and Earl have a few more orders that must be filled and shipped. I would forever be in your debt if you would fetch me a few."
Milo smiles big.

"Well, we're headed over to the Orchard anyways, so it shouldn't be too much trouble to take a slight detour and grab a couple mushrooms. But when you say that you'd be forever in our debt... do you mean that we could get actual stuff? Because right now we could really use some stuff." Kae takes a look at the catalog, to see what kind of stuff is there to bee offered.

"Oh, and while we're on the subject of stuff... I do a bit of tinkering, right?" Kae holds her hand near the center of her scrap armor, causing a strange mechanism in the breastplate to whir and spin. It stops when she pulls her hand away. "And there's this thing I've been working on, but I kinda need a focus to tie the whole thing together. Specifically in the form of a ruby. I dunno if that's a common alchemical ingredient, but if you've got one lying around or if you know where to find one that'd be really useful." 

Milo looks a bit puzzled. After a long pause, he says.
"I am sorry my dear but we do not have such things." 
He pauses again then continues.
"I am very pleased that you'll do this for me. I greatly appreciate it. Now," he straightens his shirt and then his pants. "if you all will excuse me I am busy busy busy."
With that, he turns to go.
"Earl will provide you with a burlap bag to store the mushrooms for us," he calls back to you.
Abruptly Earl produces a burlap sack.
"Good luck." Earl tells you then he shuffles off through the door on the east wall. 

"Thank you my good man."

Eddie browses the catalog and searches in particular for healing potions, a medicine kit, etc.

"Say, you wouldn't happen to have any other magic items or equipment for sale would you? Perhaps spell casting foci?"

If Zal felt he could get away with listening in on things from door without being noticed, then he does so. But if not, he would have quietly stepped inside with CC in his arms, and looking still wary since the close encounter. However, as much as there was a desire to speak of what happened, the ranger merely gave Eddie and Earl (the only two seen at the time) an upnod, but otherwise kept quiet and observant until the party was together again and left to their own devices. Although after a while, much of his attention began to drift back to the outdoors and keeping an eye out through whatever window, peep hole, etc, for any signs of the wandering dead... or worse having followed him.

 Earl gives you and odd look then shakes his head no.

The group finds themselves in the waiting room alone.
What are your next actions?

"So... stop by the mushroom place, get to the Orchard then come back here? Or get to the Orchard, then the mushroom place, then here? I say we go get the mushrooms first."

(O.O.C. does the catalog have healing potions in it and if so how much are they?)

(O.O.C. does the catalog have healing potions in it and if so how much are they?)

 Common Healing 50 gp
Greater Healing 100 gp
Superior healing 500 gp
Supreme Healing 1000 gp

so does the party go get the mushrooms 1st or to the orchard?

"Mn. Guess we can do mushroom business right quick, but-" He sighs. "Me and CC here-" Zal started to say, but catches himself and suddenly looks around warily. "Let's, uh, step outside first." He motions for the pair to follow him, before stepping outside with the presumption Eddie had taken care of business.

Once the group our outside and at least a fair ways from the gnome brothers house, Zalos finally continues. "So, like, me and CC? We caught the scent of something foul in the woods a little ways away. I'm talking STUPID levels of rankness, and... I dunno. It left me with the most heinous of feels. Like, maybe lurking undead or some such. Normally I'd check it out on my own and report it as necessary. But with things being as they are,I figured you guys would make for the better back up." He admits, but holds up a hand. "That said, we can always leave it for later. Whatever it was will probably be long gone, but since we gotta head back this way eventually, well..." He trails off from there and shrugs. 

"I'm happy to take a look with you before we head out. If we wait until we get back the trail is going to be even colder than it is now"

As they walk out of the building Eddie will hand the wallet with the 50GP back to Zal. "I would have only been able to get you one healing potion with that and I didn't want to spend all your money on just one thing. My dad used to sell his healing potions for 10GP so these guys are a but steep on the prices ... but I guess my Dad's healing potions were just ginseng tea with some chamomile, gingko,  sugar, and cinammon mixed in."

Kae visibly lights up at the opportunity to explore something new. "Well... if we don't investigate, somebody could end up hurt! Undead are bad news, right? We shouldn't let anybody suffer the horribleness of zombimification, that would be wrong. C'mon!" Having deemed her rationalization for what is really just pure curiosity sufficient, Kae will push Zalos and Eddie to follow the stink that Corn Chip spotted.

There's some raised brow action in response to Eddie's story, but Zal took it in stride with a smirk and retrieves his wallet. "Sounds tasty, if nothing else. But for that amount, I hope he threw in a fancy bottle to collect at least." He jokes, or tried to in any event. Yet between his natural tone of voice and habit of seeming to glare at people, it's difficult to say with him. Regardless, with Kae showing as much enthusiasm if not more, Zal stumbled a bit from the pushing but swiftly regained some governance over his legs enough to lead the way with CC in his arms. However, once the group are within twenty or so feet of where he last picked up the scent, he sets her down so he could properly wield his spear before pressing on closer to the vegetation after a sharply whispering a command for CC to wait at the twenty foot mark. 

You leave the residence/office and make your way to the spot where Zal smelt something rancid.
Zal sits CC down and it doesn't take long for the wolf pup to start growing a little, her attention on the tree line.
With some encouragement from Kae, the group crosses the wooden fence, avoiding the electrical fence lines attached to it, and starts to make their way into to the wooded area.
You find a worn path with wood planks along each side, acting as guides and barriers for the path.
You hike for about 10 minutes, much longer than you anticipated, when the smell hits you. 
It is a slightly sweet/sickening smell of rotting flesh. 
The path winds this way to the east then west then back. With each step you take the smell becomes more intense to the point your stomach starts to churn.
(Constitution checks DC 10 please)
The path abruptly stops at a steep dropoff. It appears to be about 20 ft. wide and goes about the same deep.
At the bottom of this drop-off, on the far side of it, is what appears to be an entrance to the side of the hill. It appears to be approximately 6 ft. tall and 3 ft. wide and there is a small path leading to it.
CC grows again, her attention on this entrance.
