...Zleiphneir came into the pub rather disturbed saying something about SageWoman being tainted by some tainted water from the fountain of dark vibrations, and the involvement of a joker. While some of the pub tended to Blooddmoon, Zleiphneir, Tremir, and DocFaust worked on a sample of tainted water Zleiphneir had. Tremir and DocFaust determined that the water was a medium for a dark force manifesting evil on SageWoman and Granos, and that conventional antidotes wouldnt work. After Khalazdad took care of the Blooddmoon situation, things seemed quiter...until a Joker came in. Myself, and Zleipher interrogated him, the hard way, but after a small game of hangman I determined that Granos was at the fountain as well. I decided to make my way there. While DocFaust, and Tremir looked for more information.
When I arrived the fountain was frozen, and Granos guarded it, in a rather desolate state. The taint had claimed his arm up to his wrist, everything below that was free of flesh, and was only bare bones. I tried to learn what had happened, and found out that Granos had seen a Joker pouring a white powder into the fountain, but he claims it was only salt. Granos claims that a Joker didnt have anything to do with it though, but he was still unsure who did.
It was also relayed to me that Linard's Ice froze the fountain so no one else got contaminated.
I attempted to make a potion to cure the “suffering” in the absense of Tremir, and DocFaust. I dont know what happened to SageWoman as of yet. Granos hallucinated off of my potion (one of the side effects) and told me to look to the east. DocFaust arrived and we sat pondering his meaning...that is when he went rather mad, he tried to chop off his bad arm and kept saying something about 'the void'. I pinned him before he severed his arm, but he freed himself of me and ran. Being something not entirely human I was able to track him leaving DocFaust behind, when I came upon him he was attempting to sever his arm again, I tackled him, but again he freed himself and managed to sever his arm.
I finally over-powered him and dragged him to the tavern. Raan attached his arm, while I aided Master Saeiane in making a magical potion, which he dipped two pieces of cloth in. Master Saeiane recited some ancient words, and the taint removed itself from Granos and implanted itself into Master Saeiane, whose hands rotted away until it hit the cloth. I took Granos to look over him for the night, and that is where I am now...I fear he is still unstable.....
