CB, here are answers to your questions (without the questions, in an effort to preserve some privacy from your players). Im trying to work around Facebook to provide you with answers...and these have to be non-canon; this is what I did in the home Realms campaign: 1. Two separate events. 2. Touch. Person, or something (e.g. spoon, knife) that had been inside an infected or in contact with their internal fluids (YES, including something theyd sneezed on). 3. Varied time, which is why it was so insidious (some fought effects without knowing it longer than others). Primary: skin goes flushed/dark red, sweating from fingertips and eyes only, afflicted get anxious. Secondary: dizziness, hallucinations, paranoia (wandering and dangerous to those they meet/get wild notions of conspiracies/certain SORTS of people out to get them [e.g. bearded males, women wearing hats, elves wearing long robes, dwarves or halflings who chuckle or laugh in their hearing] and react accordingly, then become frenzied, moving and performing actions faster and faster [treat as haste, only with no bad side-effects/costs, and no loss of dexterity] until sudden collapse into unconsciousness and then long slumber, wake cured or just as bad; those that cant throw off plague either die from what they do to others/what happens to them [i.e. attacking armed foe, falling off a balcony or stair] or begin to bleed internally, and skin erupts in blood boils that burst, causing infection, blood loss, and ultimately death [can take a tenday, can be magically cured at any time during affliction, including before symptoms show if a cure cast on someone just to be safe Perhaps eighty people were known to have died from the plague, but the actual toll was probably twice that (as some drowned and were never found, and others left the city on caravans and suffered and died elsewhere, while a few were murdered when vulnerable and hastily buried outside the Gate or even under paving stones inside the city), and the plague didn’t “Sweep the city;” it erupted, died down, erupted again, and so on for three years. I hope this lore helps; happy gaming! Ed
