Dream Stalker takes an interest in the Crone, filling her in on the cause of the poisoning, the observed symptoms, and her own prognosis. She gives her own theories, and asks the Crone what she thinks.
Breath thinks we should set up camp here, unless the Crone can get the dinos back on their feet quickly, in which case we should move a bit further away from the crash site first.

The Crone listens respectfully to Dream Stalker and seems pleasantly surprised by her chirurgical know-how. Soon they are chatting up a storm and poking, prodding, and sniffing Little Brother's snakebite. The Crone sticks a finger into the wound, dabs it to the tip of her tongue, and spits forcefully.
As I feared. First we must bleed the wound.
Before anyone can object, she draws a clam-shell knife and slashes a big X over Little Brother's bite wound. The brontosaur takes 5hp from the wound, reducing him to 16hp. The tainted blood comes gushing out, and the dinosaur sighs mightily!
Lead me to the other patient...
Will you allow The Crone to cut Andre the Gigantosaurus?

The Crone slashes Andre for 7hp reducing him to 32hp. Blackened blood squirts out and the huge carnosaur gives a feeble roar!
That should hold them until morning. The turmeric plant is a tiny shoot this time of year; it will not be easy to find enough quantity. My girls know this marsh like the back of their hands and will help you look in the morning, after the wedding. Or we can manufacture antivenin by injecting 17 HD of creatures and harvesting their blood 24 hours later, but this procedure is not without its risks...

"In order to manufacture enough antivenin we'd need to risk the majority of the remaining dinos... a prospect I do not like." Breath says. (Assuming Big Mama is out of the question, that would be Big Daddy + Junior + Snarf/Princess.)
Dream Stalker explains Princess' healing ability, and if this would not interfere with the Crone's treatment she will lead Princess in close to heal the wounded with her spores, and hopefully provide some relief. She'll get everyone who is wounded (PCs, NPCs) to group around first.

The pink, semi-gelatinous Princess gathers the wounded around her and releases [1dd] 2 HD worth of healing spores! Junior is restored to 6 of 7 HD, all other dinosaurs are full strength (except for the venom). The spores coat the wounds and quickly spread over the damaged tissue, like mold over bread, ignoring the healthy surrounding skin. The Crone asks Breath's permission to take a sample of the healing spores as a gift to her people?
In the distance you hear drums, whistles, and ululations. The dolm women approach, carrying litters of supplies for tonight's nuptials: flowers, stoppered gourds of fruity marsh wine, baskets of fresh-baked flatbreads, raw clams fresh-dug, tents and bedding, and resplendent upon her palanquin Festive, Betrothed of Fated to Die.
