Blackfeather Woods How to save a life

She sighed; at least he could talk to her. It was comforting that he still kept his wits during his pain. She watched as he painfully tried to vomit, but nothing would come out from his mouth. "You definitely show the signs of it." She ran the ingredients for the cure through her mind, trying to recall it from years past. It was a deadly illness, and the only way to truly relieve it is to release the gas trapped inside of Burke's stomach, and sticking a tube down his throat was not an option. It would be risky if she used an actual stick, as well. Getting him to vomit was their first priority.

The sounds of her children scrambling towards Burke and her diverted her attention away from the inflicted Dark Brother. Potema looked wild, moss hanging loosely onto her back and mushrooms stuffed in her mouth. The priestess gestured towards the herb store. "Potema, bring yarrow, elderberry root, mustard seeds, and the bamboo stick." She turned to her son, and pushed the fallen moss strands towards him. "Go to the river and wet these balls of moss. Be quick about it." She turned back to Burke. "What I need to do to heal you is to get you to vomit and burp so the gas and food comes up. The less dangerous way is to use emetic herbs, but a more dangerous method is using a hollow stick to go down your throat and into your stomach. That is going to be my last resort."
