Later than usual, another busy afternoon but also had to regard some of the player suggestions, they were so creative!

You know however that you can't simply do nothing, otherwise the group will tear itself apart, for such an oddly assembled bunch that you have. So you can try instead to maintain a benevolent presence among the group to temper any troubles or grievances, to lessen anger and upset where it arises. Usually all it takes after all is some kindly peaceful words and a touch, after all. Though, with as many people to manage, it does take constant attention and effort.
The most pressing matter though, you feel if you can help Keely with her disease then maybe that will automatically make the others less divisive.
<span class="mu-r">"I'm sure you'd like to be free of the sickness, wouldn't you? With your help I'm sure we could reach some success together!"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"Well I's help any ways I can, but I ain't sure ye's can be free a' this."</span>
<span class="mu-r">"-agh! Oh... your head comes off..."</span>
Having tried to explain the plague to the group by your degree of medical understanding... and failing, you opt instead to try to deal directly with Keely. Though you have encountered plague victims before, you never really had a sufficient chance to try and help them, usually since they'd be dead before you could gain any progress. This young lady though is one of those rare ones, and you've not had the chance with them before.
Though you try to go about this as you would with helping anyone, but while she is willing to cooperate and help you however she can, she clearly has no hope of success or recovery. Particularly when she displays the extent of the plague in her, when she undoes a pretty thick and well-bound scarf and is subsequently able to actually pull her own head off her body. Looking like she was beheaded, the characteristic greenish miasma of death emanates from the points of severance when she does this, and her eyes start glowing much the same.
Although she isn't personally any different, still her same self, you're not too sure what to make of this or how you would fix it. Certainly you can understand now why removing the plague would kill her.
<span class="mu-r">"...right... well, I can think of just the thing!"</span>
If there's one thing you are immensely familiar with, it's the funerary rites of Menaji culture. It was such a core part of the old faith, that even gods and mortals having nothing to do with death, still were versed in how and what to do.
