Corum nods along with what is said, Vizzini before we leave, you ought to know that we aren't alone here. There are at least 2 different types of people. Along with those people, there are creatures that are larger than you could possibly imagine. Please be careful especially with the town going crazy right now.
"Barricaded her in there fer her own good?" Navi would raise a brow. She'd look Vizzini up and down, "What about you? Why are ye fine? An' she not?" Her brows would furrow.
"Its inconceivable, to me, that we would be the only inhabitants. Look at this city. Only time has done damage, so why would it be abandoned?
As for Altaria, you haven't known her long, but do you see her as the type to be singing bawdy sailors shanties while dancing almost naked through the streets? Some of the things those humans are up to out there, I won't let her be exposed to those people. Decent folks keep that behind bedroom doors.
Really, I have no idea why the humans have all gone mad. Though it doesn't seem to be affecting the little ones in the same way. No, they have turned downright sickly. Almost anyone under 13 is doing nothing but sleeping."
"Oh one other thing..Where is your water supply than Bern uses to cook with and where does the water come from that everyone makes their own alcohol with?" Ulrich will ask as he starts to head towards the door to go and look into things.
"Just tryna understand the situation Vizzini." Navi would respond calmly to the gnome. No, she wouldn't expect that behaviour of Altaira.
She'd begin pacing back and forth, thinking out loud. "Specifically humans, or everyone else but 'the little ones'? Which 'little ones', specifically, aren't affected?"
The fighter would nod toward Ulrich when he would inquire about the water source, "Aye. 'e's on teh something. Could it be related teh why this area is abandoned?" She'd look dead into Vizzini's eyes, "Cause shit out there is huge an' very real an' very alive. That jungle ain't messin' around."
Corum picks up at the little ones remark as well, I would be more than willing to test the theory that little ones such as myself will not be affected. is this alcohol pretty strong? I like a strong drink.
“Yeah.... we’ve spotted some humanoid ones as well. Fighters, we’d gather. We came back to report and ask what on earth we’re supposed to do, but-“ he opened a nearby window to reveal the dancing people “-we came to this instead.”
"Many of the building have their own water, which comes from an underground stream which flows under the stream. That would also be the source of used in making the horrendous stuff they call alcohol. But I have a couple of small bottles here that I took from the commissary." He hands you 2 wine bottle filled with light brown liquid.
Navi
"By little ones, I mean the humans, say 13 or below. Us, here in this room are the only non-humans in the settlement. Inconceivable that I have been effected."
"Thank you, I will see if I can figure anything out about them." Ulrich will take the bottles and then open one up and attempt a medicine check to see if he can figure anything out.

[OOC: lol, yea looking over my sheet Ulrich is not the best and being a CSI]
Taking the bottle and looking at it, it is a slightly brown liquid, but seems to be clear of other impurities, either due to how it was stored. Smelling the liquid, it does have a pungent, slightly rotten, brine smell, leading you to believe it was probably stored (and very slightly aged) in a pickle barrel. Taking just a bit on your finger and placing it on your tongue, you definitely get a pickle taste [OCC: think 1:1:1 bottom shelf vodka, bottom shelf whiskey, and kimchi juice - 85% alcohol] and the slight numbing sensation usual with a very strong and raw spirit.
"I am pretty sure this bottle is safe to drink, not that one would want to, anyone else want to give it a go? Let's head to the water source and see if we can find something there and then maybe the tavern to see if we can check the others bottles." Ulrich speaks up.
Georges nodded, agreeing with Navi. Slowly, he poured a glass of the alcohol ulrich had in his hand and drank it, making a sour face. "Really... Strong." He said, stifling a cough and shrugging. "But, I figured it was worth a try."
Navi would wrinkle her nose at the smell of pickles, but she'd give Georges a good pat on the back as he coughs. "Brave soul." Then she'd nod, leading the way to go check on Altaira.
OCC: Sorry all, had to make an unscheduled trip to Chicago.
"Well, maybe you can do something for the poor girl, follow me." Vizzini leads you into the back room, and then into a small door, mostly hidden behind a stack of crates. The doorway leads to a narrow stairway, where he climbs laboriously to the 3rd floor. At the top is a small landing with 3 doors. Turning toward the northern door, he produces a key and unlocks the door before shuffling aside.
The room inside is dark, with heavy curtains drawn across two windows in the eastern wall. Beside the door on the floor is a tray with untouched fruit and vegetables and what smells like more fish stew. The room itself is one large 30 x 10 ft. space. Wooden frames with open canvas curtains divide the small room into a salon and a bedroom. The salon contains a rough couch of wood and pine needle filled canvas cushions, a desk and a table with two chairs. Beyond, against the far wall, is a bed of the same materials, a chest of drawers, several shelves of parchments, and an iron bound trunk.
Altaira, herself, sits on the bed with her legs pulled up against her chest, scratching furiously at her arms and legs. Her eyes seem to flash with a greenish-golden light as she looks to you standing in the doorway, and a long hiss issues from her.
"Well that is not good at all." Ulrich will calmly walk over to her with his hands out attempting to not be threatening so he can perform a medicine check.
Navi would slowly approach as well, but would keep more of a distance as to not make her feel closed in by the approaching party. She’d then squat down to try to be eye level with Altaira. “Altaira? It’s Navi.”

“Would I be able to check on Altaira first? It’s not that I dun believe Vizzini, but I’d like teh see it for myself.”

"Oh yes, let's that is a great concern as she seems one of the few that are competent around here."
Yes, we should check on her, she has been the only one who seems to take this seriously.
