Job: 

The Scavengers of the Larval want you to recover several samples of a peculiar and rare mineral that forms briefly on the tongue of those recently killed by the crystalline plague. A recent outbreak has occurred in a squatter infested alleyway. Samples will only be available for the next d4 days before they are blown into the atmosphere by belligerent corpse gas. The samples must be encased in specialized holding chest to prevent further infection spreading. These chests are the size of beer barrels and are incredibly heavy and unwieldy. In exchange for d12 toungescrapings (each in individual quarantine chests) worth of samples the guild will provide d8 stones of healing (which will come in handy for any Guild Dogs infected with the plague while on the job).
