The guinea pig feebly munches on the grass.

'Tastes like oak pulp. Effect is Health.

It feels slightly better now.

The Basilisk Herb is fed to the pig. It takes a bite.

'Tastes like chicken. Effect is -'

It is turned to stone.

Eri made another note on the desk, picking up the guinea pig statue and using it as a paper weight.

"Next!"

Action: Test a Frawda flower and a White spotted mushroom, on different guinea pigs!

The guinea pig that was fed the Frawda flower eye's glaze over. It mumbles, 'Tastes like candy, effect is aphrodisiac...', then promptly scampers off and starts humping a random object.

The white-spotted mushroom is fed to another pig.

It squeaks, 'Tastes like beef, effect is health! But I am ouch.' The guinea pig looks more feeble.

In case you're wondering, herbs with effects like 'Health -2' are the same as 'Poison +2', except they cancel each other out.

"Hm, had to infer the effect from the word Basilisk, but at least it's confirmed. And we owe a hundred gold...Oh the combinations!"

Concoct a potion of (1) Snowberry and (1) Longland Grass.

"I wonder, how much is a statue if it can't be cured..."

Kyrby appears through the front door. He is completely unaware of everyone else until he is literally behind the couunter, when reality snaps back to him.

"Oh, hi." He says, knocking a stray hair from his face. "You haven't seen the owner, by any chance...? The name's Kyrby, by the way. Alexander Kyrby. Forager in training." He offers his hand to Eri. After a quick shake, Kyrby put on a pair of glasses, picked up a quill and started making notes. Eventually, he notices the petrified test subject, and cringes.

"Mein Gott... that is one potet herb. I'm seeing a market for this. Instant Statue Elixir. I'm going to find more!" And with that, the socially inept forager left to the wild.

More gathering! Preferably basilisk.

((This is going to be fun. The combinations are endless! Still, we have one spot left as a Co-Owner and one as the Owner.))

Eri nodded grimly.

"Well, I'll try something a little more...dangerous. Perhaps we can market this as vermin repellent?"

Action: Concoct a potion of (1) Snowberry (1) White Spotted Mushroom and (1) Soelta Flower.

Norathra's brewing stand gently bubbles as she turns up the flames. In one tube, the snowberry branch is dropped. On another tube, a bunch of longland grass is placed. After waiting for the two herbs to be boiled into the water, Norathra slowly twists the central knob, dropping drop by drop of both herb waters into the center bottle.

One bottle of clear potion is made!

Kyrby combs the swaying fields of grass for the elusive special herb. He finds [11] each of [6] herbs, [3] of which are existing ones.

He finds 11 Frawda flowers, 11 Snowberries, and 11 white-spotted red mushrooms. You discover 11 Hero's blood herb, 11 Rambleweed herbs, and 11 Weeping herbs. Finally, by sheer luck, you discover a single Basilisk herb. Perhaps you should discover where the Basilisk herb grows...

Eri threw water, snowberries, spotted mushroom, and Soelta flower leaves into a pot and simmered it for a couple hours.
She creates one bottle of rose-scented navy potion. It smells suspiciously good for a poison...

Another note : Each potion's power is decided by adding up all the components, then rolling a d20 for randomness. 1~9 is weakening, 11~20 is empowering.

Eri sniffed.

"It smells like the ocean!"

She eyed a guinea pig balefully.

Action: Feed some drops of Rose-Scented navy potion of a guinea pig!

Nara held up the flask at eye-level. Strangely transparent.

"Let's see how good this one is!"

Test the Clear Potion (only a small portion of it) on the wounded Guinea Pig!

ExKirby · « **Reply #27 on:** March 25, 2012, 05:03:24 pm »

Work out where Basilisk is most likely to grow.

Skyrunner · « **Reply #28 on:** March 25, 2012, 05:13:43 pm »

The guinea pig that was fed the rose-scented potion throws up, but is otherwise fine.

The rose-scented potion has an effect of Poison 0.

The clear potion makes the guinea pig feel better!

The clear potion has an effect of Health 1.3.

Kyrby pores over the musty books in the local mage's library, paying one gold coin for the privilege. [3,6,1] = (0+4-2) = 2.

You learn that basilisk herbs can be found in old, dangerous dungeons, bought for six gold coins a half dozen, or cultivated in salamander's dung.

Eri scrawled a name on the potion, then went to look at the rest of the reagents...

Action: Name the Rose Scented Navy Potion "Extrema Vomitum"

Action: Test the Heros Blood and Rambleweed on two different guinea pigs
