It seems pointless since you already know what both those ingredients do, Someone should buy a mortar and pestle and try making a potion from finely ground Guinea pig dust D=

I support this, actually, guinea pigs seem to be worth far more than the feeble potions we have crafted so far, why not give some heros blood potions to all of them and breed Guinea pigs?
Or does the local Apothecary Guild Forbid purchasing Pigs from outside guild approved suppliers and their actual value is closer to a few coppers or maybe a silver?
Either way i imagine we're going to burn through quitealot of the buggers and if we can get them to breed we'll save something (just make sure the guild doesn't find out)
Or we could test potions on Wild small mammals to see if they're fatal THEN test em on pigs to determine the exact properties.

(2 potions, from the "Nara extracts and mixes two Snowberries, one Longland grass and 3 Frawda flowers. The resulting liquid is 3.5 potion's worth. It is murky and deep pink. Should she make 3, 2, or 1 potion(s)? The thicker the more potent." line.)

Norathra looked at the potion, slightly shaking it to test it's viscosity before deciding to divide it into two equal parts. It was better to be safe than sorry, if she overdid it's effect.

She looked at Eri and Peter with a smile. "How goes the testing over there?"


Create 2 potions of the murky pink variety. Test by feeding a few drops to a guinea pig.

The sound of a high-pitched bell ring echoed through the shop. The person who came in looked confident and filled with a passion to lead. It seemed the current Owner had just arrived!

"Hello there!" She handed over the current list of effects and the inventory. "I suppose you're the new owner of this fine establishment, anything  for us to do?"

"Hmmm..."

Peter mixes 1 weeping herb, 2 snowberries, and 1 Hero's blood.

(Is it even possible to mix 2 bases together?)

Test the new potion on the weakest test subject.

If this works, we'll be in profit in no time.

"No! Not the guinea pigs!"

Peter then proceeds to lovingly hug all of the living cute lil' things.

@Skyrunner

You should include occasional raids from animal rights associations on the shop.

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.

>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

The owner thinks of grinding up the guinea pig statue, but doesn't actually commit himself to it. Yet.

The owner then exits the building and goes-a-herb hunting. He sets up a cage he bought for 1 gp and finds [3] herbs, all of which are [1] kind and are already ones you have found before. It is a Hero's Blood herb, which you know is addictive and quite ... useful.

[4] : [2] field mice are caught in your unbaited cage. Unbaited because you didn't actually decide what to bait it with. You were lucky.



Nora creates two murky pink potions. She feeds a few drops to a random guinea pig. It feels mildly vigorated, and also sexually hyperactive. It claws at the cage door, trying to find another small rodent to hump furiously.



Peter (Ooh, two kinds of bases! :P This has a special mechanic!)

Peter mixes a Weeping herb, two Snowberries and 1 Hero's Blood together.
The result is either one or two cloudy white potions.



Peter only hugs the pigs, and doesn't save the weakest one from being tested upon.

Kyrby feeds a drop to the pig. It squeaks,

Effect, 7 aphrodisiac and 2.2 pet-

and turns into stone. Congratulations, you are now the owner of two guinea pig statues!

[3] : No animal rights associations come to visit yet.

Today is the 3rd of Troubard (month 1.
The weather is clear and warm.

((Also, the reason the guinea pigs cost 100 gold pieces is because they tell you the exact effect in numerical data of each potion, and TELL you the effects of each herb. They are quite smart and hard to train. :P I bet field mice won't do that.))

((Note : Please start naming your potions >_< All the color/texture descriptions are confusing, even to me!))

Question. Do bases have effects in themselves, or do they only give the potions smells and taste?
