Astrid Frisk is the local healer in Didenhil and at the time of the player character's arrival, she's been extremely busy with the Blood Plague outbreak.
“I'm sorry, but I'm simply out of Plagueshield. There's nothing I can do for you - or anyone else - till I have it. Blasted Blood Plague!”
“Normally, I'd say it's not as bad as it sounds. Doesn't kill, most of the time, just weakens. Only half the village has it now, and a bed-ridden village starves, sooner or later.”
— when asked about the Blood Plague.
“Lumpkins, oafs, and busybodies - except for the poor bedraggled sick ones here in my care. I suppose they all mean well - only, the airs coming out of these woods have addled their brains.”
“Well! She made no friends when first she settled here. Don't know which had less sense in their noggins - her or the Crafter lot. And what I'd like to know is, why didn't she see it coming?”
“Brother Fallon, dead on the road? Oh, what is this town coming to? At least - at least you have the Plagheshield. It will last... for a while yet, at any rate. Thank you, thank you and bless you so very, very much. If you ever need for healing, do come back.”
“Poor dear, dead as an old stone. These days it's almost common to lose a friend, and I'll tell you he was a dear one. He'll be missed sorely, here and up at the Mission. May Mitharu keep him.”
