A scene
In the steaming jungle of Amphisea, the expedition's healer is down with fever and their medicine chest is empty. Mehmet the astrologer kneels in the mud and studies a curling gray vine on a tree across the clearing, lips moving, for a long minute while the mosquitoes feast on his neck. Then the knowledge settles in. The vine's sap will bring the fever down, but its roots will kill a man by nightfall. He calls for a bowl and a knife, and warns everyone twice about the roots.
