Stasyn curiously looks to the flask and the outfits. He restrains himself as he sorely wanted to cast detect magic but kept himself in check. Now the green could be acid flask which means they are less of a melee fighter and more suited to range combat. Not that I would fight them now though. I do wonder how no one has been able to pry the cure from them yet.
Acute looks to Daryos and tilts her head slightly to the other side. "Monster slayers. Well you will find no shortage of prey... even within the walls of the quarantine zone. We are aware of the bone collector. The bone collector is responsible to stealing important research materials from us. Materials that we use to continue our research regarding the Weeping Pox." Both Acute and Gordon share a quick glance before the taller doctor focuses on Daryos once more. "Getting rid of the Bone trader would earn you favor with both the city of Liesech and the Morbus Doctore. You will need good relationships with both if you and your associates wish to see life outside these walls again." She adds in a sharp tone.
"As for our findings on the origin of the Weeping Pox..." She begins to say before Gordon gives her a slight nudge. Acute looks down for a few seconds and the smaller figure seems to shrink away slightly under her gaze before she continues. "It is an open secret that the Bouwengracht Familiy of Liesech was murdered by Analita von Raiza. The Bouwengracht Familiy ruled Liesech before Analita killed them and took the throne. It was at the funeral for the Bouwengracht Familiy that the Weeping Pox was first encountered. Nearly all of the family and friends of those that attended the funeral contracted the illness and shortly died... but not before taking the sickness home and spreading the disease to their friends and family." She pauses for a moment as though contemplating her next words carefully behind her mask. "Liesech prospered greatly under the rule of the Bouwengracht Familiy... the growth of the city was unprecedented and Liesech was considered to be the jewel of Etharis. To some... the growth and success of Liesech seemed almost.... magical. The same could be said for it's quick downfall once the Bouwengracht Familiy was slain. The Weeping pox is a magical disease...some would liken it to a curse. Our clothing does give us an advantage when try to prevent contracting the weeping pox, but we are no more immune to its effects than any of you." She says with a nod.
As Acute speaks, Gordon looks around nervously and even rubs the bridge of his mask a bit. It is obvious that he wants to keep moving and jumps back a bit when the minotaur addresses him. "How is what hanging!?" A high pitched voice cracks back, sounding very agitated. "We don't just walk around with the cure! Are you insane?!"He barks. "And besides... Attacking a member of the Morbus Doctore would be a big mistake! Don't even think about it!"You can see him move his hand back towards his belt, this time both hands reaching towards different vials, the second one he starts to pull from a pouch and has a slight red shimmer. "We've gotten pretty good at defending what is ours! And besides! Only the Head Master can approve and administer the cure!" he spouts back.
The smaller figures mask does little to muffle their loud shrill voice. As Gordon shouts at the minotaur, Acute reaches down and grabs the end of his mask and gives it a quick jerk, prompting them quit talking as their head is violently shaken side to side. The smaller figure quits talking and looks from Kitaer towards her. "It has been a pleasure speaking with you all... Now unless you have need of our services, we have our own business to attend to." Acute says in a firm and pointed tone.
Vesna studies the vials being held by the shorter doctor but cannot determine what they contain. She can tell that the vials themselves are similar to some of the small flasks and tubes that were setup in the basement of the Wet Weasel but you have no way of knowing if the potions he is holding are similar to what they were working on.
"We thank you for your time and patience with us, we will of course heed your advice and if you should find yourself in need of our services you obviously know where to find us." The young white-haired noble says the a polite smile and graceful bow.
Unless anyone in the team had any more business around the Crow's Nest, Daryos suggest they continue their tour of the quarantine one.
(Would Acute be a Tiefling name? Could the female plague doctor be a Tiefling?)
"Alright, alright, calm down little Gordo," Kitaer says lifting his hands up in a mock surrender. "I did say begging, not attacking... Relax. Find the whelm..."
((OOC - I believe so? Just doing a general tour of the Zone trying to get the lay of the land, spot places where looting may still be profitable, and trying to win friends and influence people all while not licking anything so as not to catch the virus...))
Nesyax grins as Gordon seems to shrink back from the Minotaur. She had listened to the conversation with Morbus Doctore lady, but waited until the group had moved on to speak. "Good to know that people would look favorably on us dealing with the Bone Collector. Seems we ought to focus on that." She glances over to Daryos. "We keeping on towards the water?" She'll keep her eyes out for any buildings that might be worth investigating. (Perception: 20)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Well, we'll get there eventually I'd expect. And yes, let's deal with the Bone Collector now and garner some favour."The young white-haired noble answers Nesyax with a small smile.
Perception: 13
(I think the plan is to continue clockwise along the wall which would make the waterside the last part we reach I think :-)
Stasyn will walk away with the party. "Yes, lets head towards the water though we should also procure some bones from the butcher before nightfall. I fear these minions of the Bone Collector will swipe whatever is left outside as fast as the bones left outside the tavern." Okay it seems no one of particular interest will bat an eye if we dispatch the Bone Collector. Now we must find its lair.
Vesna follows the group, making a note mentally of the things she needs to record in the whispering jar later. Maybe she ought to try and look at the vials she collected yesterday from the inn, might give them some more ideas about the situation here.

Aeran Dormaris - L2 Paladin on his way to Phandelver
ooc: daryosnisncorrect that if you circle clockwise you will eventually end at the water but will have walked the entire exterior wall in the process. I will try to get a post out later today.
As the group continues to follow the newly built wall separating themselves from the city of Liesech, they eventually find themselves in front of a much taller and sturdier wall. This wall appears considerably older and larger in every way. Looking upwards you see ramparts that are nearly as wide as the city street you find yourself walking upon. Occasionally you notice guards wielding crossbows walking the along the ramparts in teams of two, keeping an eye out on things taking place outside the city an inside the quarantine zone. When the group reaches the wall, they turn right and begin making their way clockwise back towards the water. Along the way they see many ruined and abandoned buildings. Some look as though they could contain useful supplies while are little more than ramshackle husks. Occasionally the party sees a figure sifting through rubble or ducking into an alley at the sight of the party.
Eventually the sound of running water catches your attention and you find yourself in front of a small stone bridge. Beneath the bridge is little more than a brook that seems to cut through the landscape and heads towards the ocean. A quickly glance from the bridge reveals that many of the streets and gutters from nearby homes all dump into the brook... transforming the clear water into a much more disgusting looking color the closer it gets to the ocean off in the distance. Looking from the other side of the bridge, you notice a very large set of steel bars inset into the exterior wall of the city. The water passes through the bars unhindered and as you lean over the bridge you can tell that a tunnel has been cut through the wall to allow the water to pass through. A small sized creature could easily stand within the tunnel where a medium sized person would have to squat or crawl.
Daryos attempts to make his way down the small embankment to the waters edge. As he gets close to the water, the slips on a moss covered stone and his foot lands in the water with a splash. Luckily for him the water near the gate is fairly clean.
Now that the young noble is down closer to the gate and water, he spots a number of different footprints in the mud as well as signs of items being dragged near the gate. The stone wall outside the gate and just past the gate shoe small clawed marks where creatures have regularly placed their hands in the past...
although Daryos sees prints, he has no idea what may have cause them with that roll..
Nesyax watches as Daryos slides his way down towards the water. "Now this is intriguing," she says, watching from the top of the embankment. She tries to judge whether she could make it down to the edge of the water without falling into the water herseld. 'That would be a good habitat for snakes,' she thinks for a moment, though it's probably not important at the moment. "Are you seeing anything down there? Seems like a useful path if you could squeeze through."
"Well, I'm not sure of course but I suspect this is where the minions of the Bone Collector might come and go." The young white-haired noble says as he climbs back up, allowing other to take a closer look before they head on. When up again Daryos uses his sorcerous magic to clean himself up.
Stasyn leans over but after seeing Daryos slip he remains where he is standing. "So, this is the most likely entry point of those minions. Perhaps we don't need bones as a lure anymore though we could enter the tunnel and try to follow any tracks if there are any that is." says Stasyn.
