+ The faces of your three companions are covered by an \r\8a unsightly red rash. Each man is suffering a headache \r\8a and they feel nauseous and dizzy, yet these \r\8a discomforts fade after you attend to them using your \r\8a Kai curing skills. However, try as you may, you \r\8a cannot relieve them of the vivid rash that has \r\8a erupted all over their faces, hands and feet.\r
+\r
+ With dismay, the three men resign themselves to the \r\8a fact that they have contracted Bita Fever. Although \r\8a their lives are not at risk, the inflammation of their \r\8a skin is causing them great discomfort. Their only \r\8a hope of easing the persistent irritation is for them \r\8a to reach Bisutan and find an apothecary who may be \r\8a able to concoct a lotion to soothe their purulent \r\8a skin. \r
+\r
+ You ride all day under a clear sky and a blazing sun \r\8a and stocially the marines suffer their pain in \r\8a silence. Their only relief is the protection afforded \r\8a by their cool, flowing mhuktis. It is late in the \r\8a afternoon when you catch your first sight of the \r\8a great city of Bisutan, which is located upon an \r\8a island in the estuary of the River Khorda. A titanic \r\8a stone bridge carries the coastal road over the \r\8a shimmering waters of the Khorda towards a towering \r\8a gatehouse which is flanked by two massive stone \r\8a dragons. It is not the custom of Bisutanian's city \r\8a guards to stop travellers without good reason, for \r\8a here the merchants of all Magnamund meet to haggle \r\8a and trade and barter their cargoes. They allow you to \r\8a pass through their great gate, but one sharp-eyed \r\8a young guardsman with promotion on his mind notes the \r\8a strange pallor of your companions and he demands that \r\8a they halt.\r
+\r
+ "Bita Fever," proclaims a gruff old guard sergeant, \r\8a and he demands that they dismount at once. He summons \r\8a five spearmen from a nearby guardhouse and when they \r\8a arrive he orders that your companions be taken to a \r
+ gaol on the far side of the great bridge. You protest \r\8a but the sergeant is adamant that they should spend a \r\8a month there in isolation until the symptoms of the \r\8a fever have disappeared. He assures you that they will \r\8a be treated well, but they will not be permitted any \r\8a visitors during their isolation. As they are escorted \r\8a back across the bridge at spear's length, they wave \r\8a you farewell and urge you to continue your journey \r\8a without them. You wait until they have disappeared \r\8a from view and then you wheel your horse about and \r\8a enter Bisutan alone.\r
