I apologize in advance, for I truly wish that I could present you all with a more cheerful message. In truth, I am asking for assistance and any knowledge in relation to the malady that has stricken several individuals in the last couple of weeks. Some are finding it difficult to desire to get an appropriate level of rest, for fear of a nightmare that might ultimately result in the loss of life.

[ Okay so he's not really sleeping that much either, but that's a normal life choice for him. And only about two people at this point actually know that G'raha is afflicted as well. ]

There are means to temporarily alleviate symptoms, but thus far a cure does not seem to be within sight. As the nature of this does not seem to be physical, it must be magical in nature.

I was hoping to acquire aid in researching the matter. Curses, hexes, other illnesses that are thought to be magical in nature. Given how many are sharing in the same nightmare, I wonder if we might start there.

I know a fair bit about curses and hexes, but a shared nightmare speaks of something else to me.

Tell me what you have observed, in as great of detail as you can. I assume you've at least seen someone with this curse firsthand.

[Oh, what's this now?]

Weird. Usually in these cases, from my experience, it's the opposite where people fall asleep and no one can wake them. Never the other way around.

[Hm... People can't get any sleep. What to do, what to do...]

Has anyone tried a little percussive maintenance on anyone's head? That usually knocks people right out. [Because of course that's his first suggestion.]

Xenk and I recently looked into using the angelic jellyfish bounty as a possible counter to the curse, since the curse appears to be caused by something demonic in this world. We brought pieces of the jellyfish to a healer in Eltrut. Making its eyes into a jelly seems to have some good effects, like warding it off and slowly countering it, but it doesn't cure it fully. At least not according to the healer.

Still, if anyone would rather use that jelly instead of smelling salts, it could be a nicer alternative. Less stinky, too.

[ You'd (general "you") just have to live with the fact that you're eating seraphim jellyfish eye jelly. ]

Have you talked to Toge about it?

So if it helps.

Looks unlikely that cutting off whatever limb the nasty mark is on would fix it. You don't need to try that.
