I don't know much about it. It was a bite from some kind of a giant diseased rat, one of four or five we fought at once, and the victims' max HP are dropping every day as they get sicker. We'll get back to town in plenty of time, though. The DM hinted that we are not going to encounter any bad news as we sail a few days back up the coast.

I expect next week to be pretty slow, too, because one of the players gets distracted and unfocused easily, and a "wander around town looking for the next chapter" evening may be a tough slog. Though it may be a good opportunity for him to get a feel for meaningful role playing. He's new to RPGs. We'll see.
