The worms can be attached by placing them on your skin like a leech. They live on their host for 1 - 2 weeks. After this period they drop off leaving a black and blue mark where they were feeding. The mark will eventually disappear but stays around on the body for a couple of months.
Once the gertum is applied to the hosts body the negative effects of the mutation are neutralized. If the host uses the worms regularly their mutation will regress also. However any non use of the worms will result in the mutation's return.
You can use the worms only once. Once the worms are used up and can no longer render the host immune to the mutation they turn black, die, and fall off. You can take the worms off and on but taking them off is very painful as they must be ripped from the skin.
I'm just looking for some kind of direction here. Lwentano stated he wants to check out the goblins. I have not heard anything else in regards to the next action from any other players. I am wondering how many people are still playing and exactly what their vote / actions will be.
Out of Character:: I am still here, but was wondering what I could do. I don't really know much about the surrounding area. (Heck, I just fell out of a time portal not too long ago). If you could kinda direct us in a general direction that might be good. I am fine with going with Lwentano.
I will go ahead if no one has anything else to do in town.
Your party hears from a couple of dwarves at the tavern that goblins in the northern hills are becoming more brazen. The goblins have been disrupting their mining operations and are more than bothersome. You decide to investigate the stories and head out from Klagek early the next morning. You are able to make it past the farms and past the familiar oak and burnt out building. Shaderoot looms before you. Night will be upon you in a few hours.
What do the players wish to do?

"I suggest that we hurry and get to shaderoot before nightfall and spend the night there. I don't know about you guys, but I don't think it would be safe to spend a night out in the woods." Sir Garasthr says.
Shaderoot is the forest, it is the forest you were in earlier when looking for gertums. Your party is just south of the forest and just north of Klagek and it's farmland. There is a burnt out farmhouse to your right, to the left is an old oak tree.
Lwentano makes the suggestion. "We have spent the night here before by the oak tree I suggest that we spend another night here before entering the dark forest. We will be safer out here away from the possible centipedes that seem to around in the forest."
