Tut, tut @Roguey:
Reading the whole thing is important.
Five wagons grope blindly for the path on a starless night, their master glancing ever upward to the skies for assurance that he is on the right course, a dim lantern his only protection against the encroaching darkness.

But the skies bring no comfort, shining no light, betraying no hint of what they know.

The caravan carries travelers bound for the frontier hamlet of Gilded Vale, you among them, where a local lord has offered land and wealth to settlers from abroad looking for a fresh start

You have taken suddenly ill, sweating and shivering, and one of the other travelers signals for the caravan master to stop on your behalf.

He pulls up just in time to avoid plowing into the trunk of a fallen tree that bars the way ahead.

You will go no further tonight.

Yes, the caravan stops because you're sick. It stops for the night because a tree is blocking the way.

It *STOPS* because you are sick!!! The trunk is incidental. They didnt stop because of that. They *avoided* it because they stopped. A true M Night Shyamalarm.

If some kvetcher tells the caravan to stop, it's going to stop. The caravan master thinks you're mostly fine.
"Touch of the Rumbling Rot, could be. There's a stinging beetle 'round here, carries it. You'll be fine once it passes your innards. 'Less you don't drink water, course, which case you'll be dead in a day."
Hold on. Take someone with you. I know you're not some helpless tenderfoot - not like most of this lot. But you drop dead I don't wanna be looking for the body. Got a schedule to keep.

Yes, you are sick, shivering and sweating. Now go pick those berries. Don't be minding no wolves. They be pussies in these parts.

Never forget that Roguey said he had more fun in Pillars than Arcanum. He will defend it until a fiery death.

Let me actually rewrite that for Obshitians.


You master adventurer, you be munching on me baked beans all these weeks, so much so, I smell a biovac coming every hour of the day. Now yon traveller be sick of diarrhoea, and gods forbid me changing his diapers every hour. Go ye, earn thy keep ya freebooter. Get them shitberries from yonder. I'd go meself but hear ye the howling? The wolves be fierce in these parts.


See all fixed. Took me two mins. Will Satya hire me instead as the chief designer?
The Caravan Master was wrong, you're not sick, your soul is awakening. It's also not that big of a deal debuff-wise.

And it couldn't manifest as a simple premonitary nightmare? Are these writers really that limited in imagination?

They are just pretentious.

"You wake up from a nightmare and need to go with a babysitter to go gather some herbs so you can make some tea to help you sleep" would be pretty funny.

Wait, it's not a real sickness? Is it a coincidence that "your soul is awakening" 10 minutes before Thaos and his goons perform a ritual to kill off your companions and leave you with Watcher powers?
