potholing

Bazi soaked up this new knowledge like a sponge. Poultice wasn't something she had heard before, and one topic fed into another like the wolf Wikipedia of healing. "What's a poultice? Like some kind of..medicine blob? What kind of herbs do you put in it?" It made sense to concentrate and combine the effects of herbs, she assumed, but had always assumed that such things were administered orally. Her time in captivity was a blur, but she vague memories of bitter tastes and the occasional pinprick.

The student sat, curling her plush tail about her toes against the cold - there were slimy growths in cave that Blue Willow might think interesting, and movement would warm them both up. She decided to run the idea past the Plateau healer. "Hey - in exchange for you telling me all of this.. do you want to help me scout for some caves? There's moss and stuff in them sometimes, if they're close enough to the surface. I'm looking for saltrock to preserve fish. I can show you, if we find some - and maybe there'll be something interesting for a healer in there too."
