Xiandria Incident File

[Letter between two healers in the church of justice, grand city of Xiandira]
Bandoth,
We have experienced an influx of paitents experiencing a disease similar to that of which you have mentioned seeing. Many of our high priests have attempted to cure this disease with purification spells and standard healing spells, but none of them seem to have an effect. Some of these people have gone comatose and others are becoming almost feral in nature. Whatever has spread, you were right about it. If it wouldn't hurt could you send records of the information to us? It would be most appreciated to have a way to fix this.
Regards,
Mantun   [Recieved letter at T+ 8 hours from previous letter]   Mantun,   Unfortunately for our efforts, we have had to quarentine the sections of the church where the disease has been taking place. The best priests in the town were unable to fix or cure the ailment and most of the paitents have gone crazy, for lack of betetr terms. I know this sounds crazy, but we cannot let this information fall into the hands of the public. I cannot elaborate on this, so please keep the paitents locked up.   Brandoth.   [Letter sent T+2 hours from last message]   Brandoth,   To preface, I understand what is happening is scary, but it is of necessity that we can access the records that you have of these paitents. Nothing about this will resolve itself unless we take action. We have immensely better priests than your church, and while that is regrettable, if we can perchance find a solution than you should allow us to do so. I am also your superior, so you have jurisdictional obligation to comply with me. Please give me the records or so help me I shall send some priests to deal with this.   [Message T+1 hour from Brandoth]   Do not come here. Do not send anyone here.   [Message T+2 hours from Mantun]   Brandoth,   Is everything alright? If something has occurred at the church you should very well contact local officials, your bird sent with this letter seemed incredibly distressed. If I do not hear from you I will contact officials about the situation. I understand I was harsh and if that is what upset you, please let me know. Those files could be helpful.   Regards,   Mantun   [No message ever returned from Brandoth]   [Additional message from Mantun T+2 hours]   Brandoth,   What the hell happened. You didn't mention anything about transifgurement. Is this a spell? A curse? Hexes? Whatever it was you were right, it's gone to hells here. The files aren't needed anymore, I will be contacting the guards. Church evacuations are underway, if you recieve this I emplore you to do the same.   [No messages returned going in or out from these locations.]   [T+72 hours, magus team alpha was dispatched to Xiandria to investigate the lack of reception from the city.]   [Magus team alpha did not return, Xiandria has been designated a cold zone and is to be "removed from map."]   [All files containing record of this event are to be torched. - SR H.D]

Way to bury the lead, Brandoth!   Seriously, though. I love this style!   The back and forth make such a good timeline of things going from bad to worse.   ----------------------------------------------------------------   Feel free to check out my entry: Out Of The Dungeon And Through The Forest
