Crop Circles
-
Dietrick orders a number of the dragoons to condone off the area. Warning signs in the appearance of a simple cut wooden boards hung on a long stake thrusted into the ground are placed around the perimeters of these new plants, saying:
"Danger! Poisonous and sharp thorny plants ahead! Enter at own risk!"
-
Jerrick takes in all of this, runs his fingers through the soil, and thinks on something, then shifts into a wolfshape, running towards the Rawlins.
((Pm forthcoming))

((Yes…and burning plants creates ash, something plants grow very well in.))

_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._
@18ef0b6afc=Pyrus:
Crops are not replanted in the same ground. Nothing is going to be replanted until this blight is over. All outlying crops nearest to the blight have been burned, leaving only burnt dry patches where nothing will grow out of it. Farmers are not even allowed near as the area have been condoned off.
((Are these wild plants truly going to be able to grow in where the crops once where? Cause its burnt dry patches of ground now.. completely dry and burnt…))
Dietrick appears very happy towards the recovery of the three dragoon mages. He checks on them immediately upon receiving the news, asking them about their health and asks them to rest and not to participate in the crop blight trouble any further until further notice, assuring them he has it under control.

A leather clad elf stops by for an intrigued examination of the blight.

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)
