[@PaulHaynek] [@Xaltwind] [@The Irish Tree] (EUL) [quote]"I told them to head for Terauchi Temple, and that the yokai are harmless. Well, at least to the locals." He explained. "However, I also learned that they were from the survivor camp that we are heading to. The illness struck when they gave all their food to a Varjan patrol that found them."[/quote] [color=fff79a]"Wait, that village got sick [i]after[/i] the Varjans found them?"[/color], questioned Kerry, eyes narrowing in suspicion. All of this was sounding less like a naturally occurring contagious bug and more like a deliberately planned tactic to spread a plague throughout the island. Now that she thought about it, was it a good idea to send the hostage group back toward the temple? They seemed well enough, but... [quote]"Right you are, madam yokai. We are on our way towards a survivor camp that is in dire need of a healer. The camp has been afflicted with an illness that I do not know yet and I must be there to properly take care of it." The monk replied to Eula. "I know you said you wanted to return to the temple, but why not join us in our mission? Traveling with a group is much better than going at it alone."[/quote] The hornet turned to get a proper look at Eula and, upon noticing her right arm, gave a slight wince. Kerry had spent enough time with Relica and the other tech-heads back in Grelden to know a thing or two about Automatons. Specifically, she learned about how damage an Automaton can take before said damage gets to a point where it actively restricts and limits her performance and requires much needed repairs. Given the condition of her right arm, and despite the clear attempt to repair it, Eula wouldn't be able to perform at full strength. [color=fff79a]"I would very much like a third member to our team, but...."[/color], she spoke, turning to Relica. [color=fff79a]"You're the expert here, Rel. Is Eula still good to go?[/color]
