You point to Zhafira, laughing to herself as she failed to juggle a single rock above her head, along with Casca, who was placing Puck way down her throat like a pacifier.
"Gee, ever heard of brushing your teeth? These cavities are bigger than my mouth!" You hear Puck echo inside her.
"Ah, my apologies. I did not know the Mandragoras have reached this far from our border."
"No! Don't lump Casca with those monsters, she has nothing to do with them." Guts protests.
"Exactly, although related to trauma, their memory loss are self inflicted, unrelated to this disease." Serpico adds.
"Besides that, we would also with to know what happened here and if you already know the rumors happening in the rest of Midland. The Kushan invasion, the king's demise, the orders born from this anarchy."
"Hm, I have to admit that I am not up to date with the king's whereabouts, nor was I aware of the Kushan invasion. We have been too focused on developing a cure and keeping quarantine to keep track of the outside world."
Reading Bolzack's Od, you find him telling a lie that would go unnoticed by your peers. You wonder if you should bring that up now, but being in a public area, you might want to discuss with him privately.
His Od is clearly human. Above average strength and intelligence, but no signs of supernatural interactions.
"Of course, where are my manners? I am Lord Vlad Santana, former Midland Knight and a Member of the Union of Ilos. With me are my trusted companions and friends. I am also well aware of occultist magic, if there is anything I could do to help you find a cure to this disease, just say the word. Please take this as a humble gift from me." You hand him back the money and goods stolen from the castle, taken away by the bandits Serpico killed earlier.
"Ilos? I did not have a strong opinion of Barnham, given how independent his nation always tries to be. It's impressive someone managed to become a lord there." Bolzack stares at his hand, likely reminding himself of when the bear apostle visited him.
"I believe there is something we can settle for, to compensate you both for saving my people. Our cure is reaching it's final stages of development, but I believe this is not the place to discuss such matters. Come to my castle. Only the two of you."
>As you wish.>Why only us?>Can't we bring our sick companions along?>I would feel safer with a trusted companion by my side. (Pick either Farnese or Serpico)>Write-in.
