The Shortstride

Description

While carrying the mysterious woman back to Andrios, Kadmos felt a presence around him in the forest and as he ran felt that his stride was slower than he would expect (-5 movement).

Progress

• After a very quick medical review, Kaliaros didn't identify the ailment as physical
• Fennan recalls reading a tome about curses where the slowness can be a symptom of anything as trivial as a minor curse that slows down movement to a major curse that slowly drains a person's life force until they die. Fennan also mentions that he has read about plants that can have a weakness effect so the effect might not be magical
• Kaliaros identified the same discolouration present on the mysterious woman's skin along with a tattoo that he couldn't interpret due to the fur on Kadmos's leg
• Kaliaros identified the same discolouration on Fennan, Nir, and himself.
• Fyx now also has the discolouration
• Venat performed a ritual that removed the discolouration
• Performing the 100ft test showed that the council no longer were running slower than expected
