Kythorn 29th, 1492 DR – A Basket of Trouble

Something saw fit to entice our group last night. A fey creature of some sort no doubt. I find their tricks and games to be more than a bit annoying. I had hoped my warning to Mercy would go heeded. It did not. I don’t know why I am the slightest bit surprised. I believe she has been cursed. The extent and damage of the curse is yet to reveal itself. At a minimum she cannot gain the ability to feel satiated. My strongest inclination is that the worst aspect would be that it is slowly consuming her own strength and vitality while she tries to eat for herself. There is also a possibility that she *is* able to eat, but to a point that could cause her death if she consumes too much too quickly. The removal of such things is not inexpensive. I don’t believe the rest of them have enough coin between the three of them to even pay for it. So now it begs the question. Do I once again use hard won coin to save the ignorant from themselves? Unlike the inn there is no danger to myself if I don’t. And unlike the potion this is entirely within my purview. It is a decision that I must make. Have they truly become friends? Has Mercy become a friend? My studies languish for lack of components and scrolls to study. Do I let Mercy reap the rewards of her own decisions? Or do I spend what little riches I have pinched away to once again fix her mistakes? I don’t know. I shall think on it and hope to come to a decision before the time comes.
