A well-deserved rest

In the town of Amanad, famous for its healing waters, strange things start happening and there seems to be more at work than what meets the eye. Can a group of brave adventurers solve the riddle?

Merisiel stares after the fleeing man and says, "If he's screaming like that, he may have allies. But let's see if we can learn anything useful here."

She starts to move forward, then winces, touching her wound.
Anyone have the Medicine skill?

Fumbus passes up a small flask, with a sparkling blue liquid swirling inside. "Drink up!"

"Ah, thank you," says Merisiel. She drinks the flask, making a face at the taste as she does so, but downing the whole thing.

The liquid does not look good, but it tastes sweet and Merisiel feels much better afterwards.
Heals 5, so Merisiel is fully healthy again.

Merisiel hands the empty flask back to Fumbus, then begins looking around. "Let's see if we can find anything here that gives a hint of what in hell is going on."
Hunh. I don't see a Perception- or Notice-type skill. So whatever skill would be appropriate for searching.

Carver holds a hand over his mouth as he decapitates the man.

He turns away and breaths in a deep breath with his back to the corpse. "I... I didn't mean to take his head off." For a half orc butcher he seems a bit squeamish. "I guess I didn't have a choice." Again he remembers the zombies, but those were dead already, and this was a sentient man (-pig). It bothers him he just took the man's life.

"Let's hope they aren't more, I don't relish doing that work."

He leave the bodies for Meriseil to loot.

The bodies have a few coins on them, some more torches, a few simple weapons (dagger, mace, shortsword, light hammer) and a few morcels of food (an apple, a piece of bread with ham, a bottle of cheap wine). The men have leather armor. You hear some shouts from the north.

Merisiel grunts. "No clues here." She hears the shouts of the incoming guards. "Maybe we'll have an easier time persuading this lot to surrender after we point out their friends' bodies to them." She's not squeamish about killing people, but she would really rather not have to.

Fumbus isn't feeling squeamish like the others. He feels kinda sorry for the men who tried to stop them. Hopefully they were in on some super evil conspiracy or something so he can fully put them out of his mind. If they were simple fools or paid hirelings, that's sadder. But nothing he can do about it now.

And his skin is still itching like crazy. Whoever is behind it deserves what is coming to them.

"Let's keep going."

Carver is scratching at his forearm, grumbling.
