"If you don't mind, sir, it's about your son Ilya."
Dmitri looks down, distraught. "Go ahead, but be quick about it, if you will."
"You said he died of an illness. That means the village might suffer from a plague. As a follower of Kossuth, have the power to cure disease."
Dmitri closes his eyes and shakes his head. "No villager is sick. It's my family alone that suffers. Save your holy magic - I fear I must be a target of divine punishment, as all of our children died in the same way. This is the end of our bloodline."
"Wait, you had other children and they all died of disease?"
He nods. "Four total."
"And Ilya's death was..."
"A fever as well. Seven days ago."
You think. An illness only effecting the children of one family - that's very strange indeed, perhaps pointing to supernatural causes, or even something more sinister.
Unfortunately, Dmitri may be correct - if he has no more living children, and the gray creeping into his hair suggests that it's nearly too late to have more, if not too late already, then his bloodline is doomed. You wish there was something you could do, but not even you can resurrect somebody who has been dead for a week.
You turn your gaze up to the Abbey. Such a dreadful mark on the settlement. If only the Morninglord was still here to bless these people.
"Thanks for the information, and I'm sorry for prying," you say. "You have helped me. Now go get warmth."
