Lassim and Cirra made their way back to Marshlight, the small apothecary shop nestled within the Swamp Town.
As they entered, they could see Gregor finishing up a sale with a spider customer.
The spider, a large arachnid with a humanoid upper body, examined a small jar of anti-fungal cream with its dexterous appendages.
"Thank you for your purchase," Gregor said, handing over the jar. "This should help with the fungal growth. Apply it twice a day on your abdomen and you should see improvement within a week."
The spider customer nodded gratefully, clicking its mandibles in what Lassim realized was a gesture of thanks based on his limited knowledge of the spider language so far, before scuttling out of the shop.
Gregor looked up and spotted Lassim and Cirra entering. He gave them a warm smile, which quickly turned to concern as he noticed Cirra's downcast expression.
