Roll to be a Herbalist - Apothecary
« on: March 25, 2012, 12:52:59 pm »

You (collectively) are the owner(s) of an apothecary in the bustling city of Acirene. You recently took over a bankrupt apothecary for virtually free. The previous owner did not bother to tell you what in the world what each of the remaining stock does. You have fifty gold coins in the coffers, a small stash of herbs, and a cage full of guinea pigs.

Fifty shiny golden coins
Ten snowberries
Ten basilisk herbs
Ten Frawda flowers
Ten Soelta flowers
Ten white spotted red mushrooms
One potion of Health+2 that is worth a golden coin
Infinite bottles that are worth nothing
A tattered piece of paper with writing on it
Ten guinea pigs that tell you exactly what happened to them if you feed them potions/herbs

I am the co-owner, it is me. Alexander Kyrby is a Male 30-year old who is very tall and skinny. He has long black hair and a taste for waistcoats. And green eyes.

Derrrrrp. Again, lack of tea makes me... something something.

I go out to the countryside and collect some flowers.

*Reiterates*

Usually, two or three herbs equals one potion.
You need at least one herb with the 'base' attribute to make potions.
You can dilute potions.
The basic attributes of herbs are : Base / Poison / Health
There are many properties that are yet undiscovered.
Feed herbs to guinea pigs: they'll tell you what the effects are. If you kill them, it costs 100 gold pieces to buy another one.

The guinea pig greedily gobbles up the snowberries.

After licking its chops, it squeaks, "Tastes like iced strawberries! Effect : Base herb!"

Name: Daes'Eri Tyrmitore
Role: Co-Owner
Age: 122
Gender: Female
Appearance: Medium height and a tall, graceful Elven figure, Eri has tanned skin, golden hair and bright blue eyes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eri stepped into the shop, removing her sun hat, and overseeing the shop. She winkled her nose and blinked her eyes, in mild consternation. Such disarray! Such chaos! She was most unimpressed.

She sighed, again wishing she didn't have to live in these...cities.

But, If she was going to learn the mercantile arts to serve for the Tyrmitore clan-and become a 'Daes'-this was a good start as any.


She spotted the other woman feeding a tiny animal.

"Hello! I suppose you're the co-owner? So Am I...

Um, nice to meet you. You can call me Eri."
She held out a hand to shake, still a bit nervous at meeting new people. She figured some tests were in order...most of these plants were foreign to her.

Action: Feed a Soelta to a guinea pig

"Greetings to you too! I am Norathra, or you could call me "Nara" in short." the woman replied in turn before checking on the guinea pig and listing down the result. "The owner hasn't yet arrived, and I've another companion who went out for some herbs, I think he's in the stock room. His name's Alexander." Nara shook the hand with a smile. "It's good to see another face here!"

If possible, feed the Longland grass to the 3/5 guinea pig.

Eri frowned, watching the little fellow turn green.

"Well, that's not good...a pleasure to meet you, Nara. I'm here on sort of a...sabbatical. I'm going to learn to be a trader for my clan, one day..."

She picked up one of the jars and looked inside. It was labeled 'Basilisk Herb', and looked to be a pretty, purple flower.

But Basilisks were poisonous...

Action: Test a Basilisk Herb on a damaged guinea pig after Tiruin.
