Daytime Phase day 5. You spend the night channeling a spirit of an expert medical practicioner. In the end you successfully manage to bring a spirit of a deceased surgeon, one of the foremost experts of his field, Dr. Rowan Edgeworth. He greets you formally and offers his services to you. (You may now use his “Medical” skill of +3 for one check only.) You wake up the next morning with a bad cough and a fever. In addition, you now have a weird bulge on your neck. (You have a -1 Mod on all rolls made today) What do you do for your daytime phase?

Zamesi lets the spirit of the esteemed doctor possess him, reading over the passage in the tome detailing the suspected affliction again to get the doctor informed. Assuming the doctor doesn't offer a second opinion, Zamesi and the doctor then get to work on removing the growths.

Nighttime Phase day 5. Dr. Rowan Edgeworth performs the procedure, sterilising and extracting the growths expertly according to the tome's instructions. However, even after doing so, your fever does not go down and instead worsens for the night. (You still only have a -1 Mod on all tasks.) This dumbfounds the doctor as the symptoms should have been lessened shortly after the growths' removal according to the tome, and he fears what ails you may be something else entirely. He apologizes for not being able to help you further and passes on to the underworld once again. What do you do for your nighttime phase?

(Sorry about that, you rolled a nat 1 on your knowledge check and so did the doctor, so you've been on a bit of a wild goose chase it seems)
(You basically did the equivalent of looking through a medical database to try and find what you have, only to realize you had all sorts of strange diseases you totally don't have :P)

(Just to be clear though, you feel really ill and it's not getting better, in fact getting worse, just so you don't think you're in the clear or anything.)

(Yeah i get it ^^ )
Zamesi grunts annoyedly and reads through all the tomes again, extra carefully this time to avoid similar dead ends
