Landue of Edel puzzle

in Along the Forest Path

A small ford
The sylvan wildness is broken here by a small stream passing through.

You say 'a small camp'
Theggory says to you 'I need further help from you, Lyedecker. My group split
up to try to find a cure for our ranger, Landue. He was bitten by a
creature from a distant plane of existance. Normal cures here don't
have any affect on the poisons that he is suffering from.
I was contacted by a witch named Meadhbh. She told me she could help.
I was to meet her in a village called Newfane to find out about an
antivenom for my friend.
Alas, I can not go to find her, now. My friend Acwellan is in danger
and I must go to him.
Please go to find Meadhbh, the witch in Newfane. She travels to our
plane of existance through the Machine Dreams. Will you help Landue?
Please say "yes" if you will help him.

You say 'yes'
Theggory the knight says 'Thank you for offering. Another group mate of ours was
bitten by something horrible. No matter what we do, we can not cure Landue of
the venoms that afflict him.'
Theggory the knight wonders 'I was told of a witch from the other planes that
knows about this sort of thing. She arrives in our plane of existance through
the Machine Dreams. Will you seek her out in the village of Newfane and help my
ranger friend?'

You say 'yes'
Theggory the knight says 'Please find the witch Meadhbh or "Mab" as she seems to
prefer in this plane.'
Theggory the knight says 'She'll be in Newfane Village through the Machine Dreams
over The Mire. She'll let you know what you will need to collect to help my friend
Landue.'
Theggory the knight says 'Poor Landue is suffering terribly. We've left him in
the town of Edel in the Southern Mountains to relax but he's in terrible shape.
You must find Mab and help us.'

IN MACHINE DREAMS
Road to Newfane
Green leaves and ferns of a vigorous forest encroach on the sides of a dusty
dirt road that curves gently to the north and south. The roadway follows the
contour of a hill down toward the north where the tops of the buildings of a
small village can be seen peaking above the treetops. To the east, a river
sparkles blue and rushes by parallel to the roadway.
Exits: north south
A child of the village watches the festival with enthusiasm.
A child of the village watches the festival with enthusiasm.
A small spotted dog bounds around excitedly.

look dog
This dog bounces, rampages around and chews on things it's not supposed to.
Little more than a puppy, her fur is black with occasional white spots. She
is approximately two feet tall, most of it legs. Her ears perk and turn
constantly with each new noise that draws her attention. Her long tongue
lolls out of her mouth at an adorable angle as she stares at you intently.

A small spotted dog is in perfect health.

The dog gives you a strange look of recognition.
The dog stands up on its hind legs. Her black fur starts turning into black clothing
and a black hat as she turns back into her human form.
Now a witch, dressed in black with very white skin, she nods a greeting to you.
You nod in agreement to her.
The witch says 'I know why you've come. Theggory must look after his other groupmates.
You will need to help Landue.
The witch says 'I know what is afflicting Landue. He was bitten by a being from
another plane. It is not a normal toxin. I will have to make an antivenom for you
to take to him.
The witch says 'You must get, for me, two items. I need a goblet of the finest
crystal and it must be full of a golden amber brandy. It is pure and sweet enough
that it should work to mix the antivenom into.
The witch says 'Also, I will need you to bring me the venomsack of a basilisk.
There is a basilisk cave in the old section of sewers below the river that runs
between the wastelands and the mire.

Meadhbh says to you, 'Find Baron Appleby. His brandy is perfect for this concoction
and he drinks it from fine enough glass.'

IN BARTOK GROVE
l baron
A more disgusting creature would be difficult to find. Though it is quite
apparent Appleby's clothes are of the finest silks and leathers imported from
the furthest reaches of the Realm, their value plummeted the moment they hit
this slob's skin. If one cared to look at him long enough, his meals for the
past month could be easily determined. Not too difficult for anyone to know,
though that most of said meals involved the fatty bits of many animals.

Baron Appleby is in perfect health.
