Bjorid Haakthir |
|
YOU: You look like you could use some help? |
|
Bjorid: Uh. |
|
-Bjorid turns to look at you with a disturbed look on his face and puts a paw over his mouth, stifling a loud hiccup.- |
|
Bjorid: Hello there. |
|
-Bjorid hiccups again. He nods.- |
|
Bjorid: I need a cure. |
Bjorid: I can't st- |
|
-Bjorid hiccups twice in quick succession. It looks as though it hurts him.- |
|
Bjorid: Can't stop. |
|
-Bjorid swallows with a pained expression.- |
|
Bjorid: Ask- ask Vladovic for me? |
|
-Bjorid quickly takes a deep breath and pinches his nose closed with a paw and holds his breath, blinking at the occasional silent hiccup.- |
|
YOU: Sure, I will head off to Vladovic immediately. |
|
Bjorid: Mrm. |
|
-Bjorid nods gratefully and motions urgently for you to go.- |

Vladovic Chel-Astra |
|
YOU: Bjorid is in bad need of a hiccup cure. |
|
Vladovic: Oh dear… |
Vladovic: I did not have high hopes for that potion I gave him; we made it with dried charmflower, you see. |
Vladovic: But he was rather insistent. |
Vladovic: Hmmm. |
|
-Vladovic slowly pokes around his shop looking for something as he talks.- |
|
Vladovic: If I could get some fresh stems, I could make a stronger one that should do the trick. |
Vladovic: But they don't grow in these parts anymore; someone would probably have to go clear the other side of Hydlaa to find any- Ah. |
|
-Vladovic pulls out a dusty old book from a low shelf. He slowly stands up straight and looks you over.- |
|
Vladovic: If you're willing to go, I can draw you a sketch to take with you so that you get the right flowers. |
Vladovic: Are you? |
|
YOU: Yes, please draw it. |
|
Vladovic: Splendid. |
Vladovic: Let me just make you a copy; then you may be on your way. |
|
-Vladovic carefully finds a page with small drawings of different flowers.- |
|
-He studies one, leaning back away from the book, and then neatly copies out a charcoal sketch of it on a slip of paper.- |
|
-He gives you the sketch. 'Need four flowers' is written in the corner.- |
|
Vladovic: There. |
Vladovic: See the triple-petal sort of crown? |
Vladovic: Those are a bright reddish-pink; the center is red. |
Vladovic: And there, the stem is usually crooked like that. |
Vladovic: Four flowers should do the trick. |
Vladovic: Last I heard, there was a patch growing in the ruins near Hydlaa. |
Vladovic: I will send someone over to let Bjorid know we are working on this. |
Vladovic: Good luck to you, Madam, and safe travels. |
|
YOU: Look, I found your flowers! |
|
Vladovic: Ah, they are so vibrant when they are fresh! |
|
-Vladovic holds the charmflowers to his nose and breathes deeply.- |
|
Vladovic: Mmm. |
Vladovic: Ah. |
Vladovic: Do you still have that sketch I gave you? |
Vladovic: I think I drew it on the back of a recipe I need. |
|
-Vladovic places the flowers in a basin of clear liquid and pushes them back and forth a few times with a pale wooden spoon.- |
|
YOU: Then I'm glad I saved it! Would you like it back? |
|
Vladovic: Excellent! |
Vladovic: Just hand it back to me, if you would. |
|
YOU: places the sketch into Vladovic's waiting palm. |
|
Vladovic: Thank you. |
|
-Vladovic flips the sketch over and holds it at arm's length. He studies it and nods.- |
|
Vladovic: Thank you. |
Vladovic: Ah yes, that's where it went indeed! |
|
-Vladovic bends carefully and sets the sketch somewhere under the counter. He straightens and rubs his wrinkled hands together.- |
|
Vladovic: Now, let me get to work here; we'll see what we can do for poor Bjorid! |
|
-Vladovic picks up a charmflower and slowly adds it to a stout ceramic container with a greenish liquid in it. The liquid fizzes and seems to dissolve the flower.- |
|
Vladovic: Good, good. |
|
-Vladovic adds a second and third charmflower, closely watching the liquid. It slowly turns a gentle blue color after consuming most of the third flower.- |
|
Vladovic: Splendid. |
Vladovic: We won't need the fourth one, these are potent. |
|
-Vladovic funnels the blue liquid into a potion bottle and corks it securely. He passes it to you along with the remaining flower.- |
|
Vladovic: Here's the cure; you can have this flower if you wish. |
Vladovic: Have Bjorid drink the whole bottle. |
Vladovic: It's very kind of you to help him so much. |

Bjorid Haakthir |
|
YOU: Vladovic tells me this should work much better. |
|
Bjorid: Ooh. |
Bjorid: Thank you! |
|
-Bjorid hiccups and grimaces.- |
|
Bjorid: Do I drink it? |
|
YOU: Yes, you have to drink the whole bottle. |
|
Bjorid: I will! |
|
-Bjorid hiccups twice more as he struggles with the cork. He gets the bottle open and quickly gulps down the contents. He blinks and makes a face.- |
|
Bjorid: Bleeaahh! |
|
-Bjorid shakes his head quickly back and forth, his ears flapping.- |
|
Bjorid: Naaasty stuff. |
|
-Bjorid waits, a hopeful smile slowly growing on his face as time passes without sign of a hiccup.- |
|
Bjorid: Ohhhh… |
Bjorid: oh, I think that's done it. |
|
-Bjorid gently rubs his belly.- |
|
Bjorid: Yes, it really seems to have worked. |
Bjorid: Oh, wonderful! |
Bjorid: Thank you so much, Madam, Talad must have guided you to me. |
Bjorid: Please accept these in reward for your kindness in helping me rid myself of that cruel curse of hiccups. |
|
-Bjorid gives you a pawful of coins; he then sets a gold ring on top of the small pile.- |
