Episode 2

Ganeus had been poisoned, the medic told you, not by the gomer, but through a injection in the neck. The medic had seen the symptoms before, it was a certain class of poison that had a comatose effect, but it could be cured through a concoction with an additive of madeah root. Unable to try to find it himself, he sent the party to retrieve it.

Concerned for Ganeus' well being, Kismet and Hubert remained behind to protect him while Rotex and Krosh ventured out. Along the way they heard the sounds of a wagon party under attack by bandits. During the attack they learned that the wagon party had been set up by one of the travelers within the group to take an unusual path. In the battle that commenced, Krosh decapitated a dude and Rotex turned the bandit leaders legs into jelly. After the battle Garrick and Indoril joined with Krosh and Rotex to find the root and save Ganeus, since they both knew at least of him as well.

As they were starting to head north again, Hubert caught up to them. He had left Ganeus to bring news that there were guards in town looking for a few of them that had violated the Duke's peace. However, he completely forgot to remind them as he got caught up in the adventure. Heading further north, you came across a small structure where a druid was staying who was hunting poachers. You convinced the druid to tell them where to find the Madeah root, which was just to the northeast close to the forest in a small swamp

Reaching the swamp, you found it was in fact inhabited by the rare Goran Giant Toads. Knowing the druid would be angry if you slew them, you sought a way through to get the madeah root. Trying many time to sneak through and get some root, some (Hubert) were less successful than others. Indoril eventually did sneak through and get some root, however he got stuck, made noise, and was brought unconscious via a very painful frog bite.

The party quickly charged in, distracted the toad enough to rescue Indoril and recesitated him from the brink of death, root still in hand. You proceeded back to Dimwood, the druid hut mysteriously gone, and brought the root back to the medic who used it in a stew and saved Ganeus. Ganeus had just woken up, still groggy from the poison.
