Cade walks back around the side of the cabin towards the group.
Nisco...
Nisco, this is Cade." You hear in your head. "I prefer to speak thus, so excuse the intrusion. Can you ask what she took from the other dwarf's home, since it is probably what caused her to become sick."
Cade looks at Nixco for a bit, then towards the door, but does not speak.
Nixco gives a small startled squeak and looks around sharply at Cade, then nods. She pulls her vestments over her mouth and heads in to the cabin.
"Its very toasty in here." she looks around and sees the pot, "I am glad you are eating, I hope you keep your strength up."She scans the room looking for anything that seems out of place, perception:15.
"We are trying to help with what is happening here and want to find a cure for you. But we need you to help us to help you, so I have few questions;
Do you know where you may have got this malady from?
((Pausing between each for answers))
Where did you go to when in Eiselcross?
Did you encounter any creatures?
Also, and we make no recriminations here we just need answers, that you searched Urgons cabin, whatever you took may have infected you. What did you take?
Thurakk holds back a wince as he sees the other dwarf, his hand going to run through his beard as he looks her over. "Before askin if she stole something maybe we should consider that the lass was hoping to maybe find something that she could use to fine a cure herself."
The dwarf, although shivering under the blankets, responds with a gruff voice. "All... all I know is that I've got that same illness that the crazy old dwarf had, alright? I'm looking for a cure, but that's it, that's all I know, alright?" The dwarf's response is more of a snap, but you get the idea that Tulgi isn't going to tell you much unless you convince her to.
If you are to going to try to convince her to tell you more, you can either try to Intimidate or Persuade the dwarf with an appropriate response (and roll).
Flyn steps around the side of his larger friends. "Well m'lady seeing as we're the only ones investigating this I would say that any information you give us could save your life. And if you don't give us any then we may just hit a dead end and you'll end up very frozen no matter how much soup you eat."

Nixco
"It would seem you may be right" she says over her shoulder to Thurakk, turning back to the sick dwarf. "So you were already sick and looking for a cure when you raided Urgon's house, having hope to fix yourself? It seems you value your life, we could work together to save it, if you would help us?" She smiles sweetly "if you answer my questions we will see what we can do"
Glaring, the dwarf coughs, then snaps at Flyn and Nixco. "Alright, alright, I'll tell you what I know. You're right - no matter how much soup I eat, I stay cold. Such a shitty way to live." With a slight sigh, the dwarf gruffly tells you about her. "I'm not from around this shitty village - I moved her a couple of years ago with my sis, Hulil, from Shadycreek Run. We both work for the Uttolots. They sent us and a few others with instructions to keep an eye out for any treasures or valuables from Eiselcross - and steal whatever we found. Often, when those treasures come through here, they're rare or unusual treasures that treasure hunters try to hide from the Dwendalian Empire or Uthodurn. Anyways, when that crazy old dwarf returned from Eiselcross, I saw my chance. He sold them to Pelc's, and then I stole them. I gave most of 'em to Hulil, but I kept one for myself - a fancy jeweled dagger."
Adressing Nixco, the dwarf continues. "Human girl, you asked me about old Urgon's cabin. Yeah, it was me who rooted around in his cabin - I was sure he must've had some magic or other secrets stowed away in there."
"thank you for sharing with us. If I could push you further we need to know where to find Hulil and what you gave her? Also can we take the dagger for inspection? I swear once we have a cure we will be back!"
"Yer story reminds me a bit of myself not but a few years ago. I can still claim to be young and foolish among the people where I come from since I have not yet seen fourty winters. But as they have said we want to help you and to stop this from movin on to other people." Thurakk says more in a way of stating the obvious and agreeing with the others. The half scowl on his face showing he is not used to talking so much.
With a begrudging look, the dwarf reaches her hand under her shirt, and pulls out a gem-studded dagger, sheathed in a gilded sheath. "Whatever, take it - but you'll have to cure me, alright? I already told you - I stole the treasures that Urgon sold to Pelc's. Hell, I can't remember what I stole, it was two months ago." Continuing to speak an odd mix of swearing and common, Tulgi informs you that her sister Hulil has the items in a site north of the village known as Croaker Cave.
With a glare, the dwarf snaps at you. "Don't compare me to you. And I don't care about others - just find me a cure, and find it fast. My life is shit right now."
Kane takes it all in, comfortable in his place as an observer for now. He does speak up though when the dwarf presents the dagger:
"You may not want to touch it. We are still unsure how this sickness passes one to another."
Out of pity or kindness or a bit of both Kane will move into the room and place what ever the dwarf is using for fuel on the fire (log, coal, dried animal dung...whatever.)
While doing this he will ask: "Do you know if your sister is sick as well?"
Nixco takes the dagger, using the edge of her vestments so as to not touch it. "I doubt the blade is the issue, unless you cut yourself with it Tulgi?"
She snaps another quick look of suprise at Cade, and then back to Tulgi. "we intend to visit Crocker cave, can you give us more detailed instructions, or a map if you feel up to it? Please? Then I will leave you be until I have a cure!"
"Hell if I know. I haven't seen her since I gave her the shit I stole."
Nixco...
Tulgi glares at you. "Of course I didn't cut myself. I'm not an idiot. Go find the cave yourselves."
(DM note - Croaker Cave is not that far north. Although Tulgi is a bit stubborn, you'd have no trouble asking another villager for directions. Or, you can try to get the information out of Tulgi.)
"We can ask someone else." Cade pipes up, speaking out loud so all can hear this time. "Shall we go before we risk getting sick ourselves?" He is clearly not very tactful, and is already turning away to head back towards town, only waiting for the group once he is another ten or fifteen feet from the house.
Cade walks back around the side of the cabin towards the group.
Nisco...

Kane wiil stay at the door, not going in, and just listen and watch what the others are doing.

She examines the dagger closely- history 4

You can tell that the dagger is valuable, but you don't know much of the history of gilded daggers.

Cade looks towards Nixco again for a moment...
"Can she give us directions to this cave?" Cade's words form in Nixco's mind once more. "North of here is a big place..."

Nixco takes the dagger, using the edge of her vestments so as to not touch it. "I doubt the blade is the issue, unless you cut yourself with it Tulgi?"

Nixco give a little bow, "thank you so much for your help". She follows Cade along the way, placing the dagger in her pack and looks into to
"Shall we chat to the pawn broker first, check they are well and go find this cave?"
