The journey back to Falcons Hollow was quick and uneventful as though Sir Ganther himself had cleared the path before us with his mighty great-sword. Once we reached town we headed straight to Cuthbert the herbalist's shop to give him the ingredients he requested from us. It turns out we made the correct decision to not hold on any longer at the crucible as the poor people of Falcons Hollow were getting worse with each and every moment. Cuthbert of Roots and Remedies informed us that eighteen or nineteen had died that he was aware of, who knows how many others that were to be discovered. With no prompting he began to create a cure as fast as he could fro the people. Cuthbert was a good man and it warmed my soul to have been fortunate to have met him.
It took a few days in order to make enough of a cure to eradicate the Black Scour from Falcons Hollow so we had some time to ourselves as Cuthbert made it clear that we would only get in his way is we tried to help him manufacture the cure. Jäger spent his time asking about the town to see if any one recognised the signet ring he found amongst the bodies discovered at the great tree. After asking about the town, the jewellers, the inn and any one how resembled a higher class who may recognise the heraldry, he finally found some luck at the temple. It was immediately recognised to be the ring of Torag. The wearer would have an increases resistance towards fire, both magical and natural.
Oakey, well Oakey spent most of his time at the inn 'making friends'. I am not too sure what he was doing but he seemed to be enjoying himself none the less.
During the next couple of days I spent my time helping the people of Falcons Hollow. From helping the elders carry their shopping to unclogging the gutters around town. It was during this time that I visited the town's smith. It turned out that before he decided to settle down as a small town smithy he was once an armourer. We spoke and joked for a while until he informed me that he has been paying attention to me and my deeds amongst the people and how me and my companions brought the ingredients needed to cure the town. Because of this he offered me a considerable discount on some half plate that he saw my looking at. I was grateful for the offer and payed some extra to have his masterful hands to polish the armour and emblazon it with the symbols and iconography of Sir Ganther.
All in all, that was a good day.
