As Izholuk and a small party ventured out from the swamp in search of
a treatment for the ailing bride they were confronted by a group of
four men on black horses. The men were clothed in entirely black robes
and they all appeared to be humans. Their leader appeared to be ancient
in terms of human lifespans and the others were clearly there in his
service.

As Izholuk approached the men with his spear at his side the eldest of
of the horsemen spoke: "Do not go any further, hunters of the wilds. This
land is infected with a great plague." This, they would later learn was
a lie. But the Puritan felar had no reason to not believe the man,
especially after what his wife had endured this last moon. Izholuk
explained to the man that the plague had just reached his camp, but only
his wife had been infected. The man claimed it was how it began for them
as well: a single sick person then infected the entire area.

The man went on to explain that he and his party were just venturing forth
to prepare a cure. They said all that was missing was an item that had been
blessed by the Ancients. That they would use it to stir the elixir that
would come from the ingredients already gathered. One of the younger horsemen
opened a knapsack showing multiple herbs and items associated with woodsmagic.
Izholuk did not hesistate: "We have a spear."

The man smiled from atop his horse. A grin that most would have recognized to
be evil. "Good. That will do just fine." And with that the horsemen followed
the felar back into the jungle.
