Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chapter 6: Potions and Poisons

|| IC ||
The name of the game is to craft as many successful potions as you can. The more you get right, the better prepared your forces will be for the battle to come - and you might even be recognized for your contributions!

But if you choose wrong, you might craft poison instead, so be careful! ...Or not. There are, after all, many uses for poisons...

Loyalist Potions: 10
Resistance Potions: 76

Escaping from Camp - CHANGED AS OF 10/7/14
Poisons used to be used to escape from the Oban camp. Now, however, they will be held until the end of meta.

Characters going into battle may take the poisons with them to use on an opponent. Any poisons leftover will be converted to EXP.

Characters not going into battle, in the Oban camp, will have the choice of using the poisons on the Oban Beasts. If not used on the beasts, the poisons will be converted to EXP.

Inventory
Inventory is per character, and may be used in the ORP as you like. Before the battle begins, you may mention that your character with a poison gave it to another character. If you do this, make sure to quote Suhuba or it will NOT be counted.

(( Makani's picking A & C ))

It was one of those things that he shouldn't be as amused about as he was, the fact that he had somehow gotten himself suckered into making potions along with various other volunteers and draftees and yet here he was. He was told that he'd be mixing the ingredients together as it was listed on the 'vellum' that he was handed. As if the sheet would even be able to help him. Still, he couldn't very well do nothing, could he? He supposed he could just try his best and if he failed well that just meant that he wasn't supposed to be doing this sort of thing was all. If he did really bad then what would they do other then send him away? Chuckling to himself lifted a hand, letting it go hovering over the various ingredients that were there to be used.

"Mmm, let's see..." He murmured to himself, picking up a crystal since he liked the feel of how his magic bounced off of its surface as well as some shoots off a plant that just smelled good in his opinion. The two were tossed into the mortal and pestle that he had access to and he set to work grinding the two of them up. He had no idea it he was doing this right but at least the paste that he was mixing up smelled nice thus far? A bonus, if you asked him, but he had zero clue if the scent would be something that mattered. Best that he got the concoction looked over by a train individual when he was done, just in case. Last thing that he wanted was to poison anyone... not even their enemies deserved that he thought to himself.

Once he felt that the stuff had been ground up well enough he prepared for the next step. He just hoped that nobody got ill from what he was mixing up he thought himself, whistling to himself as he tilted his head, listening to what was going on around him, curious if he might pick up any tips from the other potion makers present.

Nuawahn – Wind Healer (Conscript)
Healing Tent: Making Potions

Nuawahn did not do well under stress, and stress this was. Ogbonna was captured, and the healers that watched Nuawahn – and others – work was not very nice. Whenever Nuawahn got something wrong, the man yelled and threatened and Nuawahn was scared of him.

But, if Nuawahn didn't make potions for the bad people and help them with healing and such, they would hurt Ogbonna, and Nuawahn couldn't let that happen.

He turned the vellum around in his hand, confused and stressed and wary and scared: his head was hurting and his eyes were blurring and he wanted to go away from here. He could feel the mean man's eyes on him and knew that, if he didn't put something into the pot soon, he would be yelled at again.

Hurriedly, he put in crystals and green shoots and started grinding, hoping that that was the thing he was supposed to do.

(Nuawahn chooses A and C)

Xilarn chooses B and C!

Finnley is picking B and D.

Tayyib is making a paste from (B) a mushroom's black cap and (C) green shoots.

If you chose A and C

Success! Wow, you never knew crystals could be used for healing! You add one healing potion to your supply, then continue to the next task.


If you chose A and D
You grind the two together, but instead of forming a paste you created a powder that, when inhaled, causes bleeding from the nose and mouth.

What do you do with this poison? (Note, someone in the Tale camp will use the poison on THEIR beast, not the Oban beast).

A. Throw at the beast (1 or 2). -Atk
B. Add to in-meta inventory (may be used to escape from Oban camp, or one dodge move in the future battle.)


If you chose B and C
Well, you definitely made a paste - but the results aren't supposed to be so... goopy.

What do you do with this poison? (Note, someone in the Tale camp will use the poison on THEIR beast, not the Oban beast).

a. Feed to the beast (1 or 2). -Health
B. Add to in-meta inventory (may be used to escape from Oban camp, or acquire one Vial of Toxins for the battle.)


If you chose B and D
Instead of a potion, the mixture makes a strange sticky substance with sharp shards of shell, soaked in the liquid.

What do you do with this poison?(Note, someone in the Tale camp will use the poison on THEIR beast, not the Oban beast).

A. Throw under the feet of the beast (1 or 2). -Def
B. Add to in-meta inventory (may be used to escape from Oban camp.)

Round 2

Round 2 Ends: October 3, 12:00AM CST

The next recipe's ingredients are legible - but the directions for this next step are confusing. "Transform into bolus before proceeding to next step."

A. Crush the ingredients into powder and mix together as normal.
B. Boil the mixture until it reduces and put it in a vial.
C. Shrug and throw the ingredients into your mouth, chew, then spit them into a poultice.

Since he was already sort of working on grinding up the ingredients I will have Makani continue in that direction and go with A as his choice of what to do with his mixture.
