| There are fearful cries from down the street, where a small crowd is quickly gathering not far from the local tavern, the Shrewd Swan. You understand enough of the yells to learn that there has been a murder, so you approach. A fresh body of a young boy lies in a pool of mixed blood and mud, with his right arm hacked off at the shoulder and his chest slashed wide open. The witnesses are in various states of shock, but some are calling for guards. You look around for a perpetrator and spot a blood trail headed into the tavern, where there is a figure standing. You all file in. | There are fearful cries from down the street, where a small crowd is quickly gathering not far from the local tavern, the Shrewd Swan.

| Shrett approaches and addresses them, and they are surprised, not noticing your coming, and back off, looking frightened of him and you. He keeps speaking various languages but they don’t seem to understand and are probably unnerved by his strange looks. They also glance around and see a fierce warrior trollkin and a mysterious masked warrior; and Boamund; so they retreat further. Fraud (I think just him, not Boamund too?) tries to ease their concerns, speaking in Safelstran, and with some effort (promising he is a healer who could help with disease) gets the one who was standing at watch to talk. The other two have fled in panic by this point. The peasant explains, “This | Shrett approaches and addresses them, and they are surprised, not noticing your coming, and back off, looking frightened of him and you.

But as Fraud inspects the wound, he finds that it is oozing a yellow pus; already diseased; and is shocked to recognise it from an encounter he had long ago in Pithdaros. This disease is the Burning Malady; a curse of Mallia that dates back to the First Age’s times of Nysalor’s healers, then saying they represented “Nybie” (https:// | + | He says his name is Saba.

| Saba and Fraud talk a little more as the healing and burning progress, and Saba’s trust of Fraud grows. The peasants here are not really under authority of any Lord, but the local monks take great care of them; and there has been much peace here; this is the most disturbing incident in a long time. Although they grow worried as there have been more sightings of cave-lions; coming down from the Tarin Mountains; of late; not here at their settlement but back westwards. And this year, too many unexplained things have been happening: more people than usual have disappeared in the marshes along the river, and so the area has gained a poor reputation, meaning that more travellers avoid stopping around here, which causes some financial stress for peasants who trade along the road. Saba says he’ll watch out for any more diseases like this, and goes back to his village. | Saba and Fraud talk a little more as the healing and burning progress, and Saba’s trust of Fraud grows.
