    Dreaming in Briarstone ...

    As can be expected from not sleeping in the protected chapel, those sleeping outside deal with dreams (Gaye, Jean, Javert, & Zoo).
    Spoiler: Gaye, Who Will Share Her Dream with Jean & Winter the Next Morning
    Show
    The dream begins as a scene in now-familiar deserted alleys, with Gaye wandering an endless, alien city pursued by mists. Soon, a wall collapses, revealing a disproportionately small room. Inside, an ancient Keleshyte woman sits on a stool at a simple table. She looks up at Gaye and says, “Beware the yellow walkers.” The dream ends immediately after.
    When Gaye wakes up, she seems haggard and unrested, and her her dreams - either feverish because of the ghoul fever, or the ghoul fever relapse because of the dreams - seems to do no good for her as she is now under the pall of ghoul fever again for 3 DEX + 1 CON damage. Though dhampir are reputed to be good at resisting disease, it is likely that this disease - caused by undead - makes her more susceptible because of her sire.
    Spoiler: Jean, Javert

    You have the same dream as last night regarding the Tatterman. Javert barely kept from letting the dream overcome him.
    Javert has finally healed from the filth fever! Not only has the fever broken, but with all of Winter's care, Jean's nursing, and complete rest, he no longer shows any signs of illness. When Winter comes in, she gives him the all clear. She likewise gives Jean a clean bill of health as well.
    Spoiler: Zoo
    Show
    Zoo wanders in an endless cloud of yellow vapor. Other shapes form and vanish in the mist, fleeting, unsettling things that refuse to be focused upon. After what seems like a lifetime, an exhausted-looking man with a ponytail of straight, white hair stumbles through the fog. He’s insane with desperation. He tries to pass Zoo by, but as Zoo barks at him he gapes and shouts, “We’re all lost here! We’ll never escape!” before rushing away. His ranting, “What have I done? What have I done?” follows him as the dream ends.

    With Gaye as the only sick member of the group, what is the plan?
