Wibert joins Koch in his search for the missing Dwarf. They quickly go over all the dormitories again, but there is simply nowhere to hide a grown Dwarf in the cramped little accommodations. There are so many foot prints on the grimy floor it is impossible to distinguish whose are whose -- and the most recent one were almost certainly made by present company in any case.

(Gentlemen. There are two ways of "been careful for traps". You can say you're generally looking about and being wary (which I will usually assume anyway) and have 2 chances in 6 of finding stuff if it is there. Or else you can tell me explicitly that you are looking for pressure plates on the floor, or trip wires, or buckets over doors, or murder holes in the ceiling, etc. etc. in which case you will see it if it is there.)


Wibert doesn't set off any traps, but neither does he find any missing Dwarfs. Nidhogg must have left this room while everyone else was downstairs, but it is not clear which way he went...

Desmond sits on a bed in the dormitory and concentrates on taking deep breaths of good clean air. He alternates that with the occasional sip of water from his waterskin.

Gustave awakes with a violent burst of coughing, sending plumes of awful looking green stuff from his mouth and nose, most of which adds to the already stimulating hues of his once resplendent hauberk, but a few strands of which span the gap to poor Desmond, where they hang in the light like spider webs in the morning.
"Ahg...dreadfully sorry old chap", says Gustave through slitted eyes, "I dont suppose you have a kerchief?".

Desmond and Gustave really are in awful shape. They are sick, sweaty and shivery, and can only sip meekly at any offered water...

Andaros looks on dubiously. Then the long haired southerner mutters, "When we took ill, our ma would get hot tea and chicken soup into us..."

Desmond weakly shakes his head to Gustave's question of a kerchief and slowly nods his head to the idea of chicken soup and hot tea...

"Great idea! Let's find the kitchen here, its as around here somewhere, and cook up some home made soup for our friends", shouts out Wibert. "All those hungry come with me".

Wibert will head off to the kitchen with a few others to make up some soup for the group.

OOC: I believe the kitchen was near by.

Yes indeed, Wibert is familiar with the location of the kitchens, having prepared meals there for Saxxon's Men for a week or so. They are just across the courtyard, thus...

Dr. Highbough uses his bedroll and cloak to keep the patients warm and comfortable while he examines their symptoms. Is he familiar with this sort of poisoning, does he know any herbal remedies or other cures?

KOCH to Highbough

"Hello, Highbough was it? I am KOCH, formerly a captive of Saxxon released and escaped with the help of your companion Nidhogg. How far into the keep are the other group? If we hope to get the whole group together, perhaps one of us should inform them what is going on over here. I would volunteer to do this, though I may not be the best choice because done in the other group know me from Saxxon's men."
