blackscalesDespite the spate of bear attacks, it seems we've had a reasonable amount of success here. A good thing too, considering our fox mask wearing friend was threatening to keep us all here if we failed and ruined his doll house.
[ Should he have mentioned that earlier? Maybe, but then people would be all concerned over it and not focusing on getting things done. Anyway, it worked out!
I spoke to him briefly, an attempt to persuade him to assist us in our efforts. It seems he can raise the dead too, to a certain point, which of course then allows us to cure them. A few points of interest, the child has an active connection to the volcano Ke-Sanwon. He told me he would have known if it had erupted. In addition, he believes himself to be the source of the sickness, and I agree -- although apparently his 'friend' never told him that. He also told me his 'friend' made it so the sickness didn't spread from here. Presumably this friend is The White Wanderer, setting things up so this curse was contained to only this city.
I suppose you could say that was a benevolent act, although I do wonder.
He also mentioned a recent conversation with this 'friend' where he asked what happened to his father. The child was unaware they knew each other, and equally unaware his father was looking for him. His 'friend' never told him, because 'that's not how it works'.
Less benevolent sounding behaviour. However, given this child is known to lie -- either deliberately or via faulty memory -- it is difficult to know exactly how much of what he says can be trusted, and to what degree.
He also appeared to want his umbrella back. Apparently it was a gift from said friend.
