Not good enough

Shade grumbled to himself, being poisoned was not enough of a punishment for the things this woman had done, and she wasn't going to die for it. He couldn't believe he was actually thinking what he was planning on doing. Leaving to the woods he search for the herbs to treat poisons, dittany. Using his magic he turned the herb into a black powder, this should do the trick in healing that woman.
He slithered back to where they were heading, stalking them closely in the shadows, he noticed that the rider had given her an anti-venom. Shame, he was hoping in taunting them, oh well. He put the black powder in a vial and carefully dropped it on the ground where it would be noticed, Shade himself turned to follow Serveros, he wanted to ask him a question.
When he found the man he materialized as a hooded figure and slowly walked over to him, "Excuse me sir, may I speak with you for a moment? I'm looking for something, can you help?" He appeared as an old and decrepit man, hopefully he took the bait.
