-"Good morning. This was difficult to get a hold of, you know. I had to pry it out of some scholars hands. I don't care about any of that saving the world crap. Ten Ada, or no book."-
The guard pulled the book away as she spoke and stepped back. Her expression grew hard. It would be difficult to dissuade her from her position.

The Champion of Jewels chuckled slightly at Allyria's disheveled hair. It was a state he never thought he would have seen her in. When she finally realized what was happening she shot up and came out to meet the guard. It was good to see her excited. Perhaps it would be a good day after all.
What Jorkahn saw next made him tense up, however. His arms fell to his sides and his own face took on a bit of a hard, but confused, look. The half-breed kept looking between Allyria and the guard unable to understand what they were saying. "Is everything alright, My Lady?" He didn't make a move towards any of them, he didn't want to spook the guard too much. He hoped he was misreading the situation, which he was, and wouldn't need to step in.

"She just wants more money than you or I could feasibly carry on our persons at any one time. The rough equivalent of ten thousand gold coins for the book. A price that was not established beforehand. I'll do my best."
Allyria said to Jorkahn. She didn't want this degenerating into a bloodbath or something. That was counter to her purpose. She was trying to save people. The sorceress shifted her stance and softened her expression.
-"Ten Ada is a lot more than either of us could carry at one time in gold marks. You'll forgive me for not carrying Korasuan currency when I just came from Cruinthe? I can write you a checque for it. You and I both know ten Ada is not much for a wealthy land owner like myself."-
The sorceress did not want to bend to this guard of Korasus in this manner but she felt she had no choice. She was of course good for the money. She went for her pack and started to fill out a bank checque. Since it would be delivered in gold marks, it would have to be in that division. A ten followed by three zeroes. Allyria made a somber expression and passed the guard the slip of paper.
-"Well? Do we have a deal? A small price to pay to cure a deadly disease."-

The guard was suspicious of this woman passing her the check. That easy? Ten Ada? It was almost a life changing amount of money. She was feeling suspicious alright. Her eyes narrowed and she bit her lip. Then she took the slip of paper and looked at it. Such a small piece of paper was worth that much? Perhaps she had set the price too low then?
-"No tricks and games? This is worth Ten Ada? Hmm. Alright then. Here."-
The guard would hand the book out to Allyria at that point. She'd let her take it. Not sure what to do with the bank slip. Really, the question for money had just popped in her mind. Light extortion. Now she felt bad about it. But it was a lot of money. More than her wages for a year.

Jorkahn raised an eyebrow and let his gaze linger on the guard for a few moments. "That is a lot of money. Especially for a book." He sighed and loosened up again as they continued speaking. "I could pay for it if you wish, My Lady." His offer was unnecessary as the Countess pulled out a cheque and proceeded to pay for what Jorkahn would consider extortion.

"The cure is certainly worth more than that, however." The Champion casually walked up to Allyria when she had hold of the book. He cleared his throat in preparation for a coughing fit but was pleased to see it never came. He gave a polite bow towards the guard to give his thanks before looking at the book. "Do you believe this is all we need?"

-"Not a trick or anything like that. The money is yours. Just go to a bank. They'll know what to do with it."-
Allyria looked at the cover of the tome. It was old and worn. It had that library smell. She was brought back to grand libraries full of books. The academy. She missed that life in many ways. It was safe, and it satisfied her hunger for knowledge. But this was practical knowledge. Information she needed to meet her objective.
"I certainly hope so. I'll likely need a poultice or something of the sort. This will go faster with your help. Please go and gather some leaves and some water. Hold on."
She pulled out a glass bottle with some milk in it and poured it out, then passed it to Jorkahn. She had complete confidence in his ability to do that. Allyria then sat down in their camp near the fire and cracked open the book. She looked at the first page to determine the language it was written in, then proceeded to pour over the table of contents and onto the first chapter. Soon she'd have a good understanding of Diseases. Some of the harder concepts eluded her at first. But she eventually grasped it fully. She knew what she would have to do. Some of the technical aspects of the alchemy required to make a cure was currently beyond her at the moment, but she could learn by doing.
Once she understood the ingredients she needed she got up and started looking around the field for them. Gladeria, Helixan.

The half-breed nodded and placed the bottle inside his backpack. "Be back before you know it!" With a wave he headed off in a direction he hoped water would be.
Looking for water. Normal (0) Direction (5) Knowledge (45)= 50 qdV0ZBdK 39 Success!
The Champion of Jewels was well acquainted with looking for water in the wilderness. He had done it many times before after all, water was rather important to survival. He took a good long look at the terrain and generally headed downhill. He used his sense of smell and superior sense of hearing to locate the water as well. If you knew what to look for the local flora and fauna could clue you into water sources. When he reached the river he attempted to dip the bottle in to get some water.
simple 30 knowledge 45 Gathering I (5)= 80 Success!
The rest of his time would be spent gathering leaves and other potentially useful items before returning.

Allyria still hadn't found the key ingredients that she needed for the potion. Helixan and Gladeria. Both were flowers. The Helixan was a flower that grew in twin stalks that intertwined. The gladeria, she hated to say it because it was corney, but she thought it looked like it was smiling at her no matter what direction one approached it from. They came in a variety of colors. She needed enough to make for Jorkahn and herself. Tests to make sure the potions work and then she can write down the formula for the cure and have Duke Mardok mass produce it. She didn't have the facilities required to do so.
Jorkahn would likely make it back to the camp before her, as she spent quite a lot of time search for the ingredients.

He came back to the camp to find Allyria was gone. He looked around for a bit to see if she was nearby before determining she had probably left of her own accord. Jorkahn assumed she went looking for more ingredients.

Considering he felt pretty good at the moment the half-breed decided to search for more ingredients. He wasn't sure if what he had was sufficient for what Allyria was making.

Allyria was very frustrated. So far she couldn't find any Helixan or Gladeria. not even a single petal of either flower. She huffed, and the huffing brought up the hacklung. She fell to her knees for a moment, her body racking back and forth as she coughed. Then it went away. This time it was quick to give up. Good, she didn't have time for this. Jorkahn was relying on her, and... Crap.
She realized she had sent him on a mission, alone. And he had a terrible case of Hacklung. Now she pressed her search in the direction of camp, looking specifically for the flower Gladeria before moving any farther. Alas, if they could only get into the city. N'Janroya sold Gladeria. But that didn't solve her problem, she still would need Helixan and they didn't sell it there.
Blast! I have to get back to the camp. And there's no Gladeria in this section of the field.
She started to make her way back. Perhaps she'd run into Jorkahn on the way there and her fears would be assuaged for now. The sorceress didn't want to have to explain to Tyr how she stupidly got his vassal killed.

As Jorkahn knelt to pick a flower or two he felt the blood catch in his throat and the hacking began. Some more blood came up as he tried to stifle the coughs to no avail. He would wonder how much life-fluid he could afford to lose if the pain wasn't so unbearable. How ironic it would be for him to die now when they were, possibly, minutes away from a cure. Tragic.
Allyria had better start writing down ideas on what she was going to tell Tyr when he was gone.·

Allyria couldn't find the flowers she was looking for and she was getting frustrated. The lives of the people of this nation were on the line. There was so many god damn plants in the field. But where was the damned plant she was looking for? Not here. Not fucking anywhere. She was still traipsing through the field looking for the helixan and gladeria, worried about Jorkahn. Camp wasn't that far off, and she had managed to find some rare plants, but likely not the ones she was looking for.
