Ok So Maybe It was Sort of My Fault

"How long has he been out?" Andre was with me, I had kind of hoped Trezlan would just snap out of it so I wouldn't have to admit to Andre what happened, not that he wasn't obligated to me or anything, but still sometimes you hope a situation fixes itself without your involvement.

"A day maybe?"

"A day maybe? You don't know?"

"Well I knocked him out yesterday, he hasn't recovered since then, so a day."  Trezlan had a bit of drool puddling near his mouth, but outside of that no indication he was with us.

"You knocked him out?"

"He said he was having problem sleeping."

"So your solution was to knock him out?"

"You say that like its a bad thing." Andre shook his head, it was his normal dissapproving shake, I've grown used to him not agreeing with just about anything I do. Andre checked Trezlan out including lifting his eye lids back and we could see his eyes had rolled back so that just the whites were visible.  Andre tried shouting at Trezlan and stabbing the palm of his hand with a small dagger, neither did anything.

"Well we have two scenarios here, either you have some unknown power to knock people out entirely, or Mr. Lorentino here is suffering through something completely unrelated to you."
"So it really isn't my fault."

"You still put him into the trance he can't get out of, you're still at fault."

"Well fix him."

"With what Nidget? I'm not a healer."

"You're a priest right? Bust out some of that Fire God mojo and fix him up."

"You're knowledge of my religion is insulting Nidget, I'd correct your ignorance but I know from previous attempts to do this to you you'll shrug it off." He was right I did.

"So what do we do?"

Andre sighed, "We contact Captain Therod, this is most likely a magical infection and Trezlan could just be the first one hit with it, she deserves to know."

"Oh great lets hope she doesn't throw us in jail."

"Oh you're so optimistic Nidget, I'd figure she'd execute us before tossing us in jail."

"I love your positive outlook on things Andre." But he was right we had no other plays, so we had to find Captain Therod and hope that she wasn't interested in executing her more extreme amounts of authority.  Fortunately she was not, unfortunately... Well I'll get to that.
