He was so hot he was cold, trembling, and he just couldn't take a deep breath without coughing so hard blood spilled from his lungs.
His heartbeat had become irregular a day ago. He prayed he could make it to a healer in time to find out what was wrong.
He was so tired, though. He had to stop his donkey and rest.
The nondescript traveler turned his donkey down a side alley and tumbled off, rolling against the wall, coughing harshly again. It was only through oxygen deprivation that he was able to pass out in a semblance of sleep.
In the Ilyamen market, life went on, unknowing of what they had been exposed to.
(OOC: Here's the deal, everyone: It's a highly contagious airborne plague. Two days after exposure, one get a fever that gets worse and worse, to the point of uncontrollable shivering and hallucinations, sapping your energy. The cough starts mild, like throat irritation, but gets stronger until heart function and breathing is impaired, and blood comes up.
Death by suffocation and/or heart failure is a strong possibility. So if you wanna clean out your NPCs or knock off a character, now's your chance.
If caught early and treated with deference to the fever and lungs, however, complete recovery is expected.
But anyone exposed and leaving Ilyamen WILL carry the sickness to other towns.)
