You have come to an alchemist's shop. Maybe you are here because someone sent you to buy a potion for them, or you are looking for a potion for yourself, or want to be taught. For whatever reason, you are here. As you walk inside you hear muffled sounds of anger and the sound of an explosion. A puff of smoke leads you through a door in the back of the shop. When you enter, you see a tall elderly man standing up from behind a short barrier and dusting himself off. "Blasted thing I thought for sure that was the correct mixture!" He looks up and notices you.
"Ah hello there, we're closed today! Unless you have a steady hand and can help me in my work, please leave." He says with a sigh as he views his workplace. A barrier spell has kept part of the room safe from the explosion, but the un-shielded area is covered in soot.
(you help him of course. That's the point of this after all!)
"Ah in that case, you are welcome! You will be rewarded for your aid," he says with a happy smile as he potters about grabbing ingredients, vials, and bottles and piling them haphazardly on the sooty table.
"Come come! I need you to grind these while I prepare the liquids!" He says as he points to a pile of dried herbs. Some you can recognize as gold petalia and thistlethorn, but most you have never seen and do not know what they are.
By helping him you find that he has many potions he is trying to do. Many have no purpose other than scholarly interest, while some are as random as a love potion, a boil healing potion, and one that will turn your skin green. Apparently he is researching something and he thinks these potions will aid him... how you are not sure, maybe he's just cray. But you do see that his ability to mix, measure, and create potions is by far superior to many you have seen. Yo help him mostly by grind herbs, stirring potions when he directs, and sometimes you both have to dive to escape a potion that decides to explode. After a long afternoon of aiding him, he looks up and gasps.
"Oh my! Look at the time! I have kept you far too long! Here take these," he pushes some items into your hands, "I am so sorry for keeping you all day! Thank you for your help, you have helped me very much!" He pushes you out the door and waves good bye before vanishing back into his workshop.
Looking down you see he has given you....

Kirosh was acting shifty when he asked Kadryn if she wouldn’t mind staying in the area for a few more days. She agreed... on the condition he tell her why later. She knew it was Tribe business since she caught a glimpse of an Oblivionite in the shadows nearby. So now she had a day to herself! She wandered back into the village and spotted a shop with a sign depicting potions. Must be someone who sells potions. I wonder if they have any recipes I can use to help with taming or something. Wouldn’t hurt to check right? And maybe there’d be some ingredients she could use for the Magic Stew recipe she had!
As she entered she heard a dull boom and saw a puff of smoke come from beneath the door in the back of the room. Curious she entered and saw a tall elderly Orderite dusting himself off.
“Blasted thing I thought for sure that was the correct mixture!" He looks up and noticed Kadryn standing in the doorway.
"Ah hello there, we're closed today! Unless you have a steady hand and can help me in my work, please leave." He says with a sigh as he views his workplace. A barrier spell has kept part of the room safe from the explosion, but the un-shielded area is covered in soot.
“I can hep.” Kadryn said as she dropped her bag and mace off behind the short wall the other was standing behind. “I work in a café some times and have a steady hand.”
"Ah in that case, you are welcome! You will be rewarded for your aid," he says with a happy smile as he pottered about grabbing ingredients, vials, and bottles and piling them haphazardly on the sooty table.
"Come come! I need you to grind these while I prepare the liquids!" He says as he points to a pile of dried herbs. Kadryn recognized a few, but others she’d never seen before.
She ground them up and tried to identify them as she did so, though she didn’t have much luck. She shook her head as he explained some of the potions he was trying to make. Why would anyone want a potion that turned their skin green? Were there Orderites who hated their colors? The healing and love potions she could understand at least! She watched him out of the corner of her eye as he mixed and measured with swift movements. He was quite skilled! If a little insane, Kadryn thought with a smile as she dove behind the wall to avoid another explosion. Never thought that there were actually people who acted like this! Guess some of those rumors of crazy alchemist and the hijinks they get up to has some truth to it!
At the end of the afternoon, he looked up and gasped.
"Oh my! Look at the time! I have kept you far too long! Here take these," he pushes some items into her hands, "I am so sorry for keeping you all day! Thank you for your help, you have helped me very much!" Kadryn let herself be pushed out the door and smiled in amusement as she saw the items he’d given her. Well, something that would be useful!
