Sigil: The City of Doors

Fyne is wandering the bazaar looking at apothecary shops and herbalist stores. He's got some descriptions and drawings for reference of the plants he needs.

He was greeted from a distance by the woman with a halo.

He waves, approaching her as he walks away from a shop that didn't have what he is looking for. "Akh Uur Hoon, a pleasure to see you again. How have things been?"

"Would it be in bad taste to respond that they have been chaotic?" She said deadpan. Which was easy for her. "I saw you leaving the apothecary. I hope I don't intrude on your privacy if I ask if you are in need of medical assistance? I am a medical practitioner."

"I'm looking for some specific herbs referred by my therapist to help me with my strange time based nightmares. It's a complicated thing, and while I would say it is medical in nature, its definitely experimental and non standard," he says, not really worried about sharing.

"And chaos is apparently the natural state of this city, so I would be surprised if some of it didn't touch your life. Anything I might be able to help with?"

"So far, I have been coping, but thank you. Earlier today Xaositects seemed to have messed up names on the Monument of the Dead before the Mortuary, but it's fixed now." She smiled reassuringly that all was sorted on her part. "I believe you mentioned something about that last time we meant. I don't want to challenge that practitioner that prescribed those herbs, but if the malaise is spiritual in nature, they might not be so effective."

"It's... so, elves don't dream in the proper manner others do. We meditate. But previous memories can effect our mental exercises during reverie in a similar way that nightmares can invade a dreaming mind. So it's more of a mental thing. But I don't have direct access to those traumatic memories either, so I can't deal with them directly. So I went to someone that understands the mind, an illithid named L'orr-hui. It's a work in progress. My mind has had large sections locked away by my patron, is my understanding."

"And the herbs are meant to ameliorate the consequences, or help with recollection?"

"One for each, two different types," he replies. "Though they said the one that potentially helps with amnesia is not likely to work. The sealing was almost certainly magical in nature by an extremely powerful entity. The other, for the nightmares, is more likely to be useful." He seems like he's interested in trying, but doesn't necessarily expect anything helpful. More hopeful than anything.

"How determined are you in retrieving those barred memories, Fyne?" She nevertheless asked.
