As Arthera spoke, the General seemed to eye her a little closer as if he were attempting to size her up. Daisy's comment drew his attention next, despite being rebuked by Ceria. "Although I do not have anything of value for you at this time, perhaps we could find you some manner of protection from poison? I believe Loxim would have a suggestion for where you could look."

At this, Loxim's pen stopped moving and he looked up to the group with a grin on his face. "Of course! My sister is the proprietor of a sundries store. Perhaps you have heard of Pilly? Most of her goods are not exactly magical, but she has been known to tinker around with some interesting things." Out came the pen again, and Loxim held out a piece of paper to the group. "Here, this is a writ saying I sent you and that the City will pay for a few potions to aid you. She should be able to acquire them."

During this time, the General was looking among the group, his eyes drifting over each individual. Once the paper was retrieved, he spoke up once again, this time with a hushed air of importance tied to his words. "Perhaps you are trustworthy enough for this information. Word of this does not extend beyond these walls, understood?"

Aengus nodded to Loxim who stood from his books and walked over the doorway, drawing the deadbolt and standing in its path. "Forgive the secrecy, but the Venomers have been known to attempt to infiltrate our guard," Loxim said. "It is tough to know who should not be overhearing information." 

The General cleared his throat and continued. "This information is not exactly our most closely-guarded secrets, but it is better to be safe. We have captured an individual that we believe to be a member of the cult. Normally, we would allow them to leave without any legal reasons to hold them, but this man appeared to be somewhat..."

"Wacko?" Loxim offered helpfully. "Loose a few bolts? A pork-and-cheese sandwich short of a full picnic lunch? Out to sea? Gone fishing?"

"Yes. One of those." Cavanaugh sighed, although a small smile appeared on his lips. "Either way, we detained him as he appeared to be in no condition to wander the streets, and we were afraid someone might get hurt. He then began babbling about Fellmire and how the Serpent will join the Sea to crush the Worm. His babbling then fell to incoherence, and we could never get more information out of him. He is currently being held in our jails. Since you have an idea of where to look, perhaps you have little need of his dubious advice. Either way, I would suggest seeing Loxim's sister first." The General nodded to his aide who then unbolted the door. "And that is essentially all we know. We were hoping to get ahead of this issue before too many bodies were found in the streets. I appreciate your haste in this matter."
