Kerrigan's Refugees

[Gumboots]

*The children nod and the boy moves to where the other children are, whispering instructions he comes back over to Lucy. He looks down to her, and seeing her in pain a tear rolls down his cheek.*

"Are you ready mama?"

*All Lucy can do is nod. The boy looks to fli, and indicates the gag and moves to Lucy's legs. Soon the pair are busy preparing each other, both are looking pale yet very busy like. The girl speaks with a shake in her voice.*

"Mr Fli, can you hold her now please?"

[arkaus]

fli moves around so that he has one knee on each of lucy's shoulders and then holds here down tightly*

**As Kerrigan casts the spell, he feels fire and dark magic push back from the unconscious person, burning and numbing his hands simultaneously

However, the diagnosis reveals something Kerrigan has never experienced before. It has similarities to both poisons and diseases except that it is attacking every cell in the victim's body. The best comparison would be to millions of microscopic fire and shadow storms being set off within the body every second: not enough to damage the person visibly but enough to kill a few cells here or there.

Cells have stopped growing and muliplying almost as if the body is already dead and so when they are damaged they are not replaced. When enough damage has been done, eventually the patient will die.**

Kerrigan sort of recoiled in shock at the discovery,

ok well then
I will see if this works
Calling the powers that surround this world to remove the magic from this area dispel 3

Kerrigan casts the dispel on the victim in front of him

*The pair work on Lucy quick and efficient, it seems that they may have done this once before. Through the gag in her mouth Lucy screams in pain and struggles slightly under fli. Soon the group hear a crunch in Lucy's shoulder and through a small yelp and a sigh she faints into unconciousness. It takes them not very long to find what they are looking for and will a flood of fluid bring it out of Lucy. They stand back looking at the mess then the girl moves closer to Lucy and then up to Fli.*

"She will need healing for her shoulder if you are able to. Just becarful that the place does not seem to swim around us. L-l-l ast time this happened we all ended up on the ceiling. It is over for now, mama will be fine. See if help is needed any where, we can handle her after you wake her up."

**Kerrigan can feel the metamagic fighting and consuming some of the fire and dark creating a small area free of power but the fire and shadow soon overwhelm it and fill it again.

Next to him, a ghostly, pale and translucent figure that only he can see fades into existence. It is a man holding a large book that Kerrigan has seen before. In a voice that only Kerrigan can hear, it speaks**

"Hello Kerrigan"

**Drake**

[bauldin]

What the
Kerrigan recoils in surprise

Um Drake not to dull but weren't you in the hopewastes, never mind

Please tell me you are here to help


**Kerrigan**

[Plot Bot]

"I am but I swore eternal service to Yashmanar and occasionally he calls on me. You called on Eremine and Lenamo for information, Eremine is...indisposed and Yashmanar is god of know how and servant of Lenamo so this fell to him. Normally I would be limited to give you seven words but I left part of myself with you before I died so the rules are...different."

Drake

[bauldin]

Ok that is brilliant, and I am not going to complain

Kerrigan stops for a moment then shakes his head before asking

Ok Drake how can these people be cured, healed, made better?


**Kerrigan**

[Plot Bot]

**He flicks absently through the book before looking up at Kerrigan**

"You are on the right lines but these people are so saturated with magic that dispelling it will not work. I know this may appall you but magic is the problem here not the solution. You will need something that will totally remove all magic from them but such forces are rare and I cannot help you. Once this is removed they will have a chance of being healed but using it may require subtle and careful healing. A heal spell might mend external damage but internal injuries require something special."

"But first you need to get them away from here, the air and earth are still contaminated."

Drake

**Drake's shade fades to nothing**

[bauldin]

Calling over the earth elf who first spoke to him
we need to get everyone away from here,

Pathway is where I would recommend, do you want to suggest anywhere else



**Kerrigan**

[Plot Bot]

**The Earth Elf looks convinced that Kerrigan is crazy having seen him talking to himself. However, as he has also seen him kill a man by just reaching into his chest he doesn't want to argue**

Agreed, but I think more of these people might die from the journey. Can you send word to bring a few carts?

[bauldin]

Ok then wait here and I will go and get some

Kerrigan looks around before announcing

I am going to get you transport so that we can get you all safely out of here


Kerrigan then heads back towards Naturlin


**Kerrigan**

[Plot Bot]

**The survivors who came with Kerrigan, mainly consisting of Earth Elves, remain in the area. Most just lie there some still in shock, others in sobbing in pain, some unconscious and a couple tending to the wounded or giving words of encouragement**

[bauldin]

A while later Kerrigan arrives at the groves with 2 wagons

Ok all who can walk please do so we can rotate you using as much space as possible, Please help to put all the unconscious onto the wagons.

When everyone was sorted with the Wagons Kerrigan walks in front and leads them towards the central tower of Pathway
