Crop Circles
-
A leather clad elf stops by for an intrigued examination of the blight.
-
_The bugs do indeed look like all the bugs that eat stuff…and rats too and a few other crawling things. Whether because of all the blessing or because of the rich soil left behind by the blight's accelerated decay of plant matter, wild plants have no trouble moving in and flourishing where crops once held sway over several weeks. Maybe its the magic of the crop circle still working its mojo, but it seems a majority of the wild plants moving in are the kind that may be poisonous or known for causing contagoius, itchy red rashes from the spread of its oils on contact with skin.
There are a few medicinal and edible plants sneaked in among the more vigorous weeds that move into the ashen fields, among the more thorn-filled areas of the field..some thorns razor sharp.
The three mages have since recovered from their infestation of maggots, if only because they emerged as flies, as they did the first._

Bear nods and smiles.
I might just do that, thanks for taking the time to listen to me Dietrick.
Bear looks around for Aramuil, and when he finds him, offers his aid
-
That might work bear. We already have a plan under-going to solve this prob but it needs time. If you want know of it you should talk to Aramuil.
-
Tiffiny is seen looking at the blight all bent over and confused taking more interest in the bugs moving around in the craps and chimes in a little something of her own
"You know what this looks like, it looks like that spell that telli casts with all the bugs that eat stuff"
She then calmly walks away not wanting to get an ear full of the cpt.
-
Parsley seems happier now that he knows his efforts have some effect on the crops. He still blesses the field every night in hopes that something will happen in his favor.

Bear shrugs
My apologies, you didn't say so when I mentioned this before, so how am I supposed to know what you're thinking? And I'm not being a smart arse, I'm trying to help. Geez, give a guy a chance, would you? I don't know how you've decided that iron filings won't work, but that's fine. You could have at least told me that before when I first suggested it, instead of jumping down my throat.
_Maybe Bear try being Dietrick for one day he understand why. All day long~ Dietrick have so much mess to clear, and have to explain to every outsider who expect he tell why he not do this or that, and why he thinks this and that work and not work. If he don't they say he -don't- listen to them WHILE having to fix probs at same time and then his own people dun even appreciate what he does anyway.
And no Dietrick din say, because Bear did not ask. Bear just tells what Dietrick should do. Dietrick's duty is not to hear others tell him wat he should do and answer them but to find out what he should do and do it. Understand? So after all this , it just end up Dietrick explaining alot to Bear but Bear not contribute so far in anyway to help fix this prob. Maybe Bear can start by going to bless crop with druid magik or sumthing?_
_I didn't tell you what you should do, I was making a suggestion. I haven't done anything else so far, as I don't think that normal magics will work against it. But if you would like me to use druidic magic, I will. I just can't promise that it will do much, but you already know that.
I know that you've been trying to cleanse the area with various spells, but have you considered using the spell Diminish Plants? It may slow down the growth of the plants, giving you longer to counter the blight.
You just let me know what you want me to do, and I'll do what I can for you._

With that, he wanders off, a little hurt at the shortness of the response to his words.

Bear watches the goings on, and the attempts to remove the blight. After a while, he approaches and speaks again.
_I already told Dietrick, but he didn't listen to me. This blight might be caused by Fey magics, and if so, iron filings might clear it up.
You've already tried most everything else you could think of, right? Would it hurt to try that? Worst case scenario, you waste a little iron, but at least then you've removed that possibility._
With that, he turns and leaves the valley.
Slightly irritably, Dietrick speaks to bear:
"Dun ya be blaming people fer not doing wat ya want and act'in all smart arse when yer not even sure what da hells is going on and when yer not even sure yourself if your suggestion is going to work. This IS caused by fey magik and your idea of iron filling WILL NOT work! get it? If Dietrick knew there might be a chance Dietrick woulda tried, but it won't solve this prob.Bear shrugs

@13c7dbaf0d=Oddba11:
Parsley rounds up any druids/ clerics of nature deities that are willing to help him to an infected area and says that they will cast a blessing as one, so they all finish at the same time. He says the people gathered should cast spells such as bless, remove curse, and remove disease. If it has no effect, or a short lasted one, he says he'll try a group dispelling.
_The casting of a joint blessing brings out short relief. The swarming creatures (the only visible sign of the affected area while the crops remain burnt and unplanted) disappear or scatter. Cast by an individual priest, it gave maybe an hour…cast by the group may two hours of relief, before the creatures are swarming around in the affected soil again.
Casting Remove Disease clears up the blight for about an two hours or so with the group of clerics, before the blight again returns.
Remove Curse has the greatest effect of all, though it does not clear up the blight, it is clearly weakened, appearing paler and barely glowing for a whole 6 hours, before its strength returns, the strings of fungus of visible in the scorched dirt do this. The swarming creatures dwindle but do not disappear for the whole 6 hours.
Group dispelling has about the same effect of making the blight disappear for two hours cast by itself._

Miea: YAY!! big smile
-
Dietrick welcome Miea to use any of her druid powers to help contain the blight.
-
Miea Underling volunteers to help (hin druid of Lurue)
Ayrith who has now left the valley won't have anything to do with it's plight (Cleric of the winds)

Pft! Silly hin your full of nothing, I wouldn't do anything to your crops, just give you a device to flame those fly things that are giving you trouble. As it is you seem to like having your casters used as their breeding ground. So I bid you good bye and good riddens! turns her back and leaves <g>stupid hins, hope the winds never favour you nor your valley.</g>

She details the design of her fire pump to Diet, "i'm just trying to help, even though you are hins. I only have a distaste for the ones that steal"
Dietrick replies:
"We let outsiders into our valley but they got NO rights mess in our stuff. This is warning! You NOT do a thing to crops here in the valley or we will throw you out or arrest you. You have been warned.

//Ayrith is a she
She details the design of her fire pump to Diet, "i'm just trying to help, even though you are hins. I only have a distaste for the ones that steal"
// effectivly a flamethrower

_Dietrick orders the mages to stop casting smoke spells at the insects. All mages are instructed not to openly engage in magical related activities until this is over. The room whereby the insects infested in have been barred to all mages, the sick mages are being transported to a remote corner of the valley further away from the blight, where other mages are being instructed to cast stone skin on them. Priests on the other hand are instructed to do their best, trying remove curse since it shows the most effects.
Dietrick eyes Ayrith with suspicion, questioning him on his motives, and warns him not to interfere without permission from the council. A few dragoons are asked to keep an eye on the stranger Ayrith. and to arrest him immediately should the gnome attempt to do any suspicious activity onto the crops without permission from the council._
