The day at Apricot Hall was marked by the arrival of a group of patients with puzzling conditions.
Despite their best efforts and various treatments, Caylie and Duncan found that their usual methods were ineffective.
The root cause of the patients’ ailments remained a mystery, cluding their understanding.
The news of this unusual situation quickly reached Emrys, prompting him to hurry to Apricot Hall. Upon his arrival, he couldn’t help but notice an unusual bluish-purple aura, reminiscent of demonic energy, hovering ominously over the patients’ foreheads, clearly the cause of their distress.
Faced with such demonic energy, Emrys knew that conventional medical practices and acupuncture would not alleviate the patients’ suffering.
With no other options, he resorted to his knowledge of magecraft to address and dispel the demonic energy afflicting them.
Further investigation revealed a common thread among the patients; they all came from Yarwood Village and had recently consumed the spring water there, which seemed to be the source of their illness.
This discovery led
arys to focus his attention on Yarwood Village for further investigation.
Yarwood Village was a peaceful settlement nestled in the southern reaches of Jadeborough, untouched by modern industrial pollution.
The villagers had always relied on the crystal-clear mountain springs for their drinking water, a tradition that had continued for generations.
However, recent events had cast a shadow over this idyllic source, with villagers experiencing unexplained illnesses after consuming the spring water.
Armed with this knowledge, Emrys embarked on a solitary expedition into the mountains, following the river to its source in hopes of uncovering the root of the problem.
His journey led him to a cave near the spring’s origin, where he was greeted by a surge of demonic energy emanating from within.
Seems I’ve found the source of the trouble.
Using True Sight, Emrys carefully scanned the cave’s interior, focusing on areas where the malevolent energy was strongest. It didn’t take long for his gaze to settle on an object nestled within the cave’s stream, its subtle glow piercing the darkness.
A demonic magic item!
