Rayne the Healer
You see what once was a beautiful woman bound to a stone table. A demonic vivisector has disemboweled her. She looks to you with tears in her eyes.
"I am Rayne, the
Healer, mother of Ot-Yett. It was up to me and my fellow healers to aid the
wounded during the Wizard War. I was a healer for the High Mages. I was a lady
in waiting until I met Tintze Silverbox. His family was poorer than mine by far
and a part of the mage hierarchy of the Great School. I came from a long line of
mages. He came from a long line of tin-peddlers and fish mongers but I fell in
love with him and his simple charm. I had avoided every arranged marriage my
father forced upon me but I gladly gave up my station and family wealth to be
with him.
“Our time together was short and sweet. We had a daughter Ot-Yett and lived
happily traveling from town to town him selling his wares and I practicing my
healing arts on the sick. Our life was good until I had to return to the Great
School. A war had broken out and my brother became lost in one of the battles. I
went to seek him and promised Tintze and Ot Yett I would be back soon and safe.
I couldn’t keep my promise… Why did I go? I should have been with them when that
demon… Please let Tintze know that I forgive him and love him still. I sense him
nearby.
“I sense something else as well a mire of disease nearby. It’s horrid. We Great
School Healers had a way to counter the disease laden miasmas. Obviously, Oils
of Disease warding would fail. You can’t coat your lungs in oil. No, we used… Oh
no… the shadow is growing. Take this… “
A page from Rayne’s
healer’s codex flutters from her world to yours.
In that moment a shadow falls over the Rayne and she is silenced.
Any further attempts to talk to this Spirit will fail.
The torn page reads:
salve and, if the sores continue for more than three days after treatment, apply a Mogwart-Sawgrass poultice.
Miasmas - Tonic – Some
arcane swamps carry foul gasses from rotting flora and fauna that cause horrid
diseases. To protect against miasmas, a healer must craft a remedy to shield a
patients lungs. This remedy can be applied before or after exposure but if
applied after the fact it will not restore damages that the miasma has already
done. In that case, other healings must be applied. Because miasmas are
generated from wetlands this tonic relies heavily on Water Magics. The
ingredient list is for a Miasma-Tonic that can protect two individuals and is as
follows –
1 Nymph Reed
2 Water Jewels
1 Jade Willow
2 Pearls of Wisdom
Mix and prepare as you
would any standard Class D remedy with an extraction rate of 4. Prepare is
copper caldron treated as you would a foil flask extract using the Harady Method
of preheating and cooling your utensils. The extract will form hard pellets to
be placed in the mouth and held there until dissolved.
** The remedies effectiveness is increased by holding a mouthful of bubbly
liquid, such a brown or clear elixir from a Tavern, and then holding the pellets
in ones mouth until fully dissolved. **
