@Everyone: Just to clarify, for those that are ill, it feels like the worst case of the flu you have ever had with a super high temperature at the moment. You aren't in any danger of dying or anything like that though.
I figured that. Elendin is extremely dramatic. :)

OOC:
Are there any magical auras in the vicinity? On Elendin and Wynn primarily, but if those judges have any magical effects I'd like to know about that as well. :)

Sorry all! I've been tied up at work and then with a visiting friend. Is Hallion affected by this sickness? If not, his first instinct would be to lay on hands on one of the affected party members to try and cure it.

"This is bad, we've g-got to leave quickly. Before she return- Ah!" Balara clutches her chest as she starts to drag herself towards the relative safety of Venture, wanting no further dealings with these people regardless of what Elisabeth says.

Settle down Lara before you hurt yourself. If the have sages who may help I’m willing to risk it. If they try to do you dont fret, I’ll handle our escape route. After all nothing ventured nothing gained.

"Hilarious." She tries to chuckle at the joke, but winces instead. "I don't want them touching me." Balara says stubbornly, wishing she had her weapons at this moment.

Iwill limit their investigation to sight and arcane senses then.

What are you trying to use to check for the auras my friend?

Hallion made his way up to Wynn and placed his hand on the man's chest, while he continued to cough. Hallion focused for a moment and a divine yellow-white light flowed from his hand into Wynn. There was a pregnant moment, where the party watched on to see the impact it had on Wynn. The answer came a moment later as he continued to cough harshly, though not as violently as before thanks to the potion he had drunk.

@Somebox and Genisisect: What's the plan here guys? Trying to sneak out of the tavern and lose the proprietor? If so go ahead and give me a stealth check.

I believe we will wait for Elisabeth to return with the entourage of sages.

@Kadeton: Nareem is radiating magical power, you can tell enough to know that her talents lie in Divination magic.
OOC:
@Somebox and Genisisect: She is planning to take you to them, sorry if I didn't make that clear.

"Excuse me!" Margaret calls to the conferring 'judges', "I'm glad your little secret society seems to know about magic and is inclined to help us, but can you please explain what the actual heck is going on?"
Mar 17, 2019 5:18 am
OOC:
Well, that changes things. But I'd argue Balara would still go along with it because of Venture, so I'd say we follow along.

Venture whips up a little makeshift sling and sets Lara into it and follows after Elisabeth.

As Hallion tried to heal Wynn, the door opened and three figures swept into the room. A woman in a cloaked entered, golden jewellery glinting from under the cover of the cloak. From behind her legs came a small almost childlike figure, with proportions that suggested it was not a child with an arm in a sling. Finally, came a hulking figure that took up much of the doorway. As she entered the woman was already speaking.

"Tarlos you are not going to believe the night I have had...." she was saying before pausing as she took in the room and the group assembled before her, "....then again maybe you will. Nareem what are you doing here?"

"The same thing as you I suspect Elizabeth." she responded before looking at Margret,"We are a society that is dedicated to the old ways and preserving the wisdom of the ancients where we can find it. As for what is happening at the moment, the simple truth is that we have no idea. There have been rumours from all across Gabresia of magic returning and myth and legend coming back to the fore. At first, we thought they were nothing but rumours but then our members began finding that our words suddenly held power."

OOC:
Just a clarification I meant sling in the sense of a cloth device for carrying a child.
With a sense for the dramatic, venture casts of their good, revealing their truly inhuman, mechanic face to those present. My friend here has been struck down by a sudden ailment unfamiliar to her kind. This barkeep seems to believe you are saved who may understand the source of such illness. Currently Lara has made herself my ward, but requests that you lay not a hand upon her in your investigation.
Mar 18, 2019 10:41 am
Margaret stares at Nareem, horrified. "But... why would you hide yourselves away all this time? You've 'preserved the wisdom of the ancients'... but for what? What good is knowledge if you don't put it to use?" The beginnings of tears form in her in eyes. "I searched my whole life for knowledge that I could use to help people, and it turns out you've been keeping it from me, from everyone? Shame on you!"

Balara doesn't mind Venture's way of keeping her safe, finding it rather noble in it's own regard. Still, the very thought of exposing herself certainly worries the Gnome as this situation is definitely spiraling out of her control. She says nothing during their journey, deciding Elisabeth has heard enough for now. Not that she hates her, Balara's opinions on humans simply isn't very positive, even if she respects their inventiveness.

Upon arrival in this strange building Balara looks around cautiously, fascinated by it's structural properties but feeling a tad shy due to the current argument that is currently taking place.

Hallion grimaces at his failure to heal Wynn, and continues frowning as he studies the people in the room.

"Madam he says gently to Margaret, trying not to be overheard by the others nearby "recriminations may not be precisely helpful at this moment. Our new friends lie very ill and these people may know how to help them.

"Nareem, Tarlos, Elizabeth. It seems we have much to discuss. To begin with, could you please tell us what manner of illness has befallen these poor souls?"
