The players were ambushed by diseased men on the road from the harbor to the temple, locations described in the first post in this thread. In the fighting, Melquarth, Solhildr, and Ishaq seem to have contracted a few diseases themselves, which have stubbornly withstood healing magic. Having killed the ambush teams, comprised of ~21 men, the players are safe for now.

Flesh is a design flaw.You're right, I'm an idiot. xD
I changed it so that he's a captive; and also, they've taken his orichalcum weapons and armor. Considering that I established that orichalcum is rare and valuable, it'd make sense.
I should REALLY pay more attention before I post. Wow... ^^;;
I can still hail the Horde even though the company has shamed us. Strength and Honor even if Blizzard has neither.I won't be that technical about it. Just announce your intention and I'll play it out. If you fire more rapidly, you're probably not going to have the accuracy to hit specific body parts, though.
Things are getting progressively more busy for me, and I may post less frequently as a result. But I should return to normal some time next week.
Flesh is a design flaw.@ Tricksterson: You can't treat your wounds while incapacitated. You also should never try to "suck the poison out;" that only makes things worse (especially when it's basically just pure disease). Real life tip.
@ Tricksen: You're grossly overestimating your weapon's blessing, and your character's strength. The Cyclopes are the only ones holding those shields for a reason: they're improvised tower shields, meaning they're ~7-foot rectangles of thick wood and metal, terribly cumbersome even for them (and they have super strength as a race power). Imagine a creature less than half their size holding onto one of those in one hand with an adult human being in the other, while simultaneously trying to fly.
Also, you cannot uproot trees with your offensive teleport power - that's crazy. You can grab people and still fly (awkwardly) with them, but I'm going to set a limit of nothing far beyond 200 pounds with that power; that means you may still attempt to steal those shields, but you're going to need to loosen the Cyclopes' grip first.

Then again your arm is numb, so maybe it's not so bad. Still, disease.
