You drink the liquid. You feel...strange. Its almost like you were sick before and now you're healthy. Like you were operating at less than normal and never knew it, and now you're back at 100%.
hmm, is Adam hiding from the magebreaker or from the newcomer spirit?
"While we were traveling we encountered another spirit as well, it caused possessed individuals to grow long canines, float, and..."
describe what the newcomer spirit had done to those it possessed and ask if it is related to the problem spirits and generally what he knows about it.
"Also, um, what's the plan for dealing with the hijacker spirits? is there anything they're vulnerable to?"
ask.
Name: Nina Morellis
Appearance: A young, red-haired woman, green eyes, somewhat unkempt. She's had Adam for as long as she could remember, and has a bit of a reputation as a harmless nut. The town guard are okay with Nina though, occasionally getting her help keeping a mage secured by having her drain their mana so they can't cast. Since they don't have a proper magehunter available, having a local civilian channeler they can bring in as needed is a big help. And Nina tries to be on her best behavior with them to keep their relations good. Nina herself works as a healer, living out in the poor part of town, and has an erratic schedule based on the needs of those who want her help. so she has a lot of free time, but also gets woken up in the middle of the night a lot. add in Adam's occasional antics and she doesn't get to have a stable sleep schedule.

Inhabited by a spirit which takes the form of a floating disembodied limb that constantly melts and reforms into other body parts. She calls it "Adam."
Recently acquired a second spirit, still learning about it.
Location: Alkahest
Cabal: None at this time.
The magebreaker you think.
"Vampire. Sounds like a more classical kind. Possessor spirit, lives on blood."
"The plan is to rip the spirit from them. The problem with vampires is you can't just kill the host. They'll hop to another body. Have to force them into something. "
"I have no idea, didn't knew that there were different types of vampires. I guess their weaknesses are different too? Should we know what are we fighting against?"
Get on the ship and ask about the different kinds of vampires.
Recheck recruitment form, just to make sure everything is correct.

"Generally, there are those that eat flesh, those that eat spirit, and those that drink blood. Blood drinkers are most common. All of them are spirit parasites leaping between bodies."
The form looks right.
I'm ready to fast forward back to town if you guys are ready for it.

The caravan continues around the ring road. It makes it to Fearce without any further incidents. (What was the reward they offered you for being guard again? I forget)
Wait for it to stop spasming and then time to butcher it! Keep edible bits (if Grant points any out); any excess or inedible bodyparts can be reduced to mana.Name: Frick Varmer
Appearance: An enthusiastic, young-middle-aged man. Between his
ridiculous magnificent hat, the strange bird always perched on his shoulder, and his unbridled curiosity for arcana in all its forms, he is clearly either a wizard or an eccentric fool. Or, more than likely, both.

Grant: A mountain trapper who lost his wife and child to an avalanche. He is...withdrawn, quiet, terse and seemingly quick to anger if asked repeated questions.
After a few minutes you and grant wander in and start butchering the thing. You get a good bit of meat and then convert the rest of the body to mana, getting 4 mana total. You keep some of the spiky skin as well. Might be useful.
Explain to the man's family what I've discovered, and express that I'd like to observe him for a full day, so I can see him waking up and going back into this state. I should be able to help, but I'll need more time in order to do so safely, as there is a lot of magical power involved there.
Also ask what was meant by the condition progressing over the three years. Did it start by him being drowsy and progress to catatonia? Did the time catatonic expand steadily? Something else?
If it's the afternoon or early evening, stay fairly near the patient and consider some possibilities, such as narrowing the bottom of the well by expanding the walls or shrinking the horizontal space to pinch it off at the bottom. Also, try to think about ways to anchor myself from being pulled in, in case I have to dive into the.. conduit, in order to solve the problem.
Right now I'm thinking that it might be best to wait for him to be in the body, and then securely block the link.
If it's the morning, and it'll be a good number of hours before he'll 'wake up', I'll do something else in the interterm.

You wanna do that in town? from your room? On the outskirts? Could make a difference depending on various things.
If we can do it from our room without damaging the room a lot or making a big ruckus, do that.
If not then do it somewhere on the outskirts of town, out of sight if possible. Make sure we take all of our stuff either way. Also tell Venandi where we are going, in case Lup ever starts playing again.
Once there (assuming no shenanigans occur), start asking around about that bug problem to the townsfolk and merchants. Also try to locate the person who put out the bounty.

You head out of town so as not to potentially teleport part of the room with you or something.
The teleport costs whatever it was I said before, and you end up just outside Lunare.
At this point We can assume you and Dev can make contact.
