Afflicted

The Afflicted are victims of the Sanguinesti Affliction, a disease that infected Mort'ton in early-to-mid Fifth Age. The disease itself spread to the village from the neighboring Sanguinesti region, although it is unclear how.

The Afflicted have a very limited mental capacity, and are highly aggressive to non-infected individuals. They speak nonsense if approached.

The Afflicted may be cured temporarily by either of the two serums, Serum 207 or Serum 208. After curing the afflicted, the cured villager(s) will give the player rewards of various types, many related to making the cures. The Serum 208 yields better rewards from villagers.

These are also extremely useful for lower level players attempting barrows, who have ran out of food, as if you bring 3 bones to peaches tablets each trip, it can save lots of time, considering peaches heal 80 LP, and bones are a 100% drop.

Trivia
Afflicted Afflicted
 * If you use either serum with them, their clothes change to a more normal colour and the rips in the clothes are repaired. When a potion runs out, the rips come back.
 * If you use either serum on them while they are attacking you, they will stop attacking after they have been cured.
 * Serum 208 is supposed to be a permanent cure for the Sanguinesti Affliction. However, if used on an Afflicted, it only cures them temporarily.
 * They use the pre-update (2008) walk animation.
