Even so, Krysia couldn't help but feel pity for the daughters of Count Scarlet being born into such a crazy situation.<br/><br/><em>So the eldest one's still alive,</em>Krysia thought.<em>But what of the younger?</em><br/><br/>Such fancies were dispelled upon hearing about the monsters in the tower. She was rather enjoying the fact that the innkeeper wasn't treating her as a mutant freak, but eventually if she wanted to help she'd have to present herself and take the contract. Maybe the soldiers knew more, or the old, reliable notice board which seemed to be in every rinky-dink village with access to timber.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Krysia looked over at the sick soldier. "Hmmm, my mother is not, but I had a mentor who is as close as any family tell me enough about herbs and remedies. Don't worry, I won't touch him, I'm just looking."<br/><br/>One did not need to be a healer to see sickness all about. Crops wither, flies bring pestilence, burning summers and biting winters made even great battles look pitiable in their death counts. Krysia's training at least learned how to separate the myriad maladies of the lands. With a brief examination, she could determine the illness and better yet how to fight it. She recalled the old lessons her instructors drilled in her at Kaer Latner; even the innocuous ability to differentiate a food allergen from a genuine poison was enough to help her save the king's cook from being butchered 3 moons ago!<br/><br/>Although Krysia was usually well-prepared, she was running a bit low, relatively speaking, on salves and the rarer ingredients. She had several potions she believed that would do the trick, but unless this was a truly debilitating illness or worse yet, a curse, it should be within her abilities. If so, she'd take out a potion and motion for the ill man to drink it.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Takes 10 on Heal check to diagnose illness for a 17 total.<br/><br/>If due to injury/hp damage, uses <em>extract of cure moderate wounds</em><br/><br/>If due to disease, uses <em>potion of remove disease</em><br/><br/>If due to poison or temporary ability score damage, uses <em>extract of lesser restoration</em></div></div>
