Fella stretched contentedly in the morning light. Nature was happy today, and that was good for everyone.

Humming along with the birds, she cheerfully bounced outside, surveying her plots. First priorities... oh, say Incandescent and Green Langtern. Spark Herb sounded a bit on the testy side anyway.

"Greetings to you too!" she responded to her neighbor. It was nice to have cheerful company.

Plant Incandescent Herb and Green Langtern.

[ansontan2000]

"Good day to you too!" Azundle had always been taught to be kind and friendly. Besides, having cheerful friends was the first step to success!

Day 1's actions

Irideth Hellspawn 2 searches high and low, but only finds that most mages, be they fire aspect, earth aspect, or any aspect at all, are in the Guild of Magic and Mages. When he presents himself at the reception counter, they ignore him.
Dejectedly, he listens to the gossip in the streets, and learns that also means they cost well over a   gold coin a day to hire. Of course, there are those quack mages, but they don't really laud themselves as mages, in fear of the hammer of Law that is wielded by the Guild. 6 He wanders and wanders and makes his way into the local nobles' blacksmith's shop. He finds a ☼ Flaming Flamberge ☼, but it costs 1017 silver coins. The blacksmith kindly informs him that that's the on sale price. However, for your benefit, he draws and swings the sword around a bit. It leaves flaming trails in its wake, and seems to shiver like the flames of a bonfire at times, and flutter like that of a candle at others.
Irideth looks at his sad eight silver coins. He asks if there are any cheaper ones, but the man suddenly seems to have been struck deaf. Looking around, Irideth notices the various price tags are all four digits in silver coins or more.


Rhea Thain 6 As noon strikes, Rhea gathers up all the information she learned or read about that day:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

• The local lord has stepped on a peeled tropical fruit, falling over and bruising his leg, but causing laughter in the nearby people.
• Herbs have three main classifications: (1) effects (2) modifiers (3) bases.
• Base herbs are a base.
• Herbs grow in one to five days, usually.
• The common pear is an elongated fruit that has a sweet but sour taste.
• Augustus was here.
• Ms. Maladi often sells poisonous or undesirable herbs.
• The best way to test a herb is creating a potion with only it and a base herb, then feeding it to an animal.
• Kobold slaves for sale at Market Street and Central Junction.
• The dwarven workers have gone on strike due to lack of hops.
• Mr. Doe and Ms. Femla are marrying next week.
• Some herbs have very specific growing conditions/
• The king has donkey ears.
• If you give a dragon enough gold, it will tell you arcane knowledge unknown to any other mortal.
• Bamboo shoots grow super fast.

Rhea then mixes together a tongberry and a base herb. She gets one Unknown Potion 1.

Fella plants the Incandescent Herb and the Langtern.

Azundle cannot just test the herbs. D: Chewing uncooked herbs does nothing at all. Also, what is she going to test them on?

Shackras plants the wing herb. 6 He finds a ton of traders who want everything from mandrakes to bushels of base herbs to stacks of golden herbs to only the finest fire essence postions. What to do with these traders?

[ansontan2000]

The production may suffer problems or advantages due to randomness. There are some good tips though:
1- At first, try one herb at a time to check what each herb does, then try using multiple of the same one to check the effect.
2- It is good to have base herbs in your potion.
3- Better base-type herbs enhance your potion's power.

This is what I meant.

Day 1's actions

Azundle takes both a Balloon Fruit and a Pott's Herb to the lab and works for the whole day, creating two potions: Balloon Fruit Potion and Pott's Herb Potion.

[IronyOwl]

Plant Spark Herb, search for information around town.

[Tiruin]

"Animals...hmm, I wonder if they have any laws on t-

"Hey everyone! We need to test potions on animals to find out the effect, can we all work together on this?"

Search for any laws regarding animal testing in the area including the local areas where I can find animals.

Search for information regarding fertilizer, and on the 'time limit' regarding such -- if using it now won't waste it's potency for later (as in I use the fertilizer in a day, then plant later...will the plants still benefit or...?)

Day 1

Conrad rises with the sun, breathing the free air on this glorious day. Heading out to his nearest patch, he spends his morning planting it with Pott's Herb. Bolstered by the fulfilling work (even if it is more strenuous than what he is used to,) Conrad then grabs his notebook and heads to the lab, brewing a weak potion with one of his Base Herbs.

-1 Pott's Herb
-1 Base Herb

Spoiler: Conrad J. Dandyhosen II (click to show/hide)

Bio: The eldest (indeed, only) son of wealthy aristocrats, Conrad never had much interest in the day to day affairs of running the family estate. Instead, he spent his non-partying hours performing private experiments about the natural world, becoming increasingly fascinated with the strange herbs native to Erista. Recently, Conrad's father cut off his allowance in an attempt to force Conrad to make something respectable of himself, but Conrad has resolved to move out on his own and become a world-renowned apothecary!
Cash: 13 silver
Herbs: Base Herb x9, Pott's Herb x5
Fertilizer: Quack Mage's Fertilizing Elixer x5
Patch: Pott's Herb (planted Day 1)

Brief question on fertilizer- I can apply that as part of a planting action, yes? It doesn't require its own action?

[Mr.Zero]

Shackras was amazed by the amount of traders he found. But he couldn't get the wing herb and balloon herb out of his head, something told him that they had flying properties but he had no way to test it. yet.... But flying is not an easy task, so i assume that my herbs have to be stronger! I should throw some Alchemy mix on my wing herb, to increase it potency!
However i also need to know what the balloon herb does, so I'll brew up a potion.

>Fertilize the wing herb with my mix
> Mix Baloon herb and base herb

>Plant a base herb.

[Skyrunner]

Day 2's actions

Irideth Hellspawn 4 tries and finds his tome, which apparently contains information about the Golden Herb, even if a little vague. Apparently, it is also a base herb, of a higher tier than the more common Base Herb.

He then plants one unit of golden herb in one of his patches.

Rhea Thain 4 discovers that animal testing is technically legal, but there is much protest about it from associations of nature-attuned Druids, who do not want even guinea pigs to be sacrificed in the name of science. As a reflex, the Market Street has both small live animals for testing and small voodoo doll-like magic dummies that suffer the effects of the potions the same way a living animal would.

1 She then tries to research about fertilizers, and discovers that they are great for your hair and teeth, and make your skin feel softer too! They are the dream of every young woman who cares about her appearance.

Fella plants a Spark Herb, then (generically) searches for information around town.
1 After spending roughly half her day walking around, she discovers that males apparently like female fauns. She catches some men ogling her as well as some impolite whistling and general unsavory comments from a mercenary on the other side of the street. 5 Someone who seems another mercenary nonchalantly walks to him and knocks him out cold with a punch before walking off.

Azundle 5 wanders around town, asking about. A kind-looking old lady tells her that the Pott's herb tends to make plants grow faster, while the balloon fruit explodes when given shock with a burst of air, not fire.
She also plants base herbs. The next morning, they are fully grown.


Shackras fertilizes the patch with the wing herb planted with a Alchemy Guild Normal Mix. He then mixes a balloon fruit and a base herb, creating Unknown Potion 2.

Day 1's action for Conrad

Conrad plants one of his patches with Pott's herb. He then brews a Base Herb's Potion.

Status of the patches

Irideth's Golden Herb is about half grown, with its characteristic gilded-looking leaves about to unfurl. It is 1/2 days grown.

Shackras's Wing Herb is dying, for some reason: though it is 2/3 grown, it looks too small compared to the size it should be. Overall, it is wilting and yellowing.

Fella's Green Langtern is doing well. It is halfway grown, exhibiting the deep green leaves it has, with seven to thirteen leaflets on each stem. Her Incandescent Herb is finished growing: two batches of it can be collected if she chooses to. The herb has a circle of green supporting leaves close to the floor, then a tightly spiralled red leaf "stalk" nested in it. Her Spark Herb is 1/2 days through. It doesn't have static electricity surrounding it as it should have. That is rather worrying.

Azundle has 5 batches of green Base Herb in her patch.

Rhea didn't plant anything :c

Conrad has planted a Pott's Herb. It looks like there is three bunches' worth of it, and it is 1/2 through growing.

Day 2

Plant Base Herb, quaff (or otherwise test) Base Herb Potion!
