Name: Conrad J. Dandyhosen II
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 x10 (10 silver,) Pott's Herb x6 (12 silver,)
Fertilizer: Quack Mage's Fertilizing Elixer x5 (15 silver)

Is it safe to assume we can only make a single potion per turn? What's the time step of a turn- 12 hours/1day/1week? And how much cash do I need on hand to cover rent?

((Time goes by days. There are a set number of actions that can be done in any one day.

And Caellath is busy busy busy in the IRC because of all this. 

Hai monk.))

((Oh hai Tiruin. Hope I didn't miss the boat, although it would hardly be the worst thing to observe an interesting thing like this. Amazing the things you find when poking around for a neglected game... *cough*))

((All your questions shall be answered in the FAQ section of the OP, as soon as I ask Sky some questions myself.))

I'd assume not, but this is a good question. Only one herb per plot, or one type of herb?

[monk12]

I'd assumed it was a Minecraft type thing, where you plant one and then harvest a random number, with fertilizer etc increasing the yield.

There is a random generation for the number of herbs you collect with a successful harvest. The fertilizers, however, have mostly hidden information.

Breeze of a new beginning - Day One

It is morning. The sun shines down on the small, modest cabins that were gracefully "lent" to you for as long as you keep renting the patches and the lab. The day seems a pleasant one, with butterflies flying near your window and small birds perched on trees chirping happily and occasionally erupting in songs of mirth. Some of them pretty boring, if you're not into that kind of thing.

Life seems brighter than usual and the scent that permeates the air carries the promise of a good day. Of course, none of your patches has any plants on it, so it is about time to perk, up roll up sleeves and start to work hard. Rent will be collected by Day 30, and if you don't have enough silver coins to pay at least for the lab and one patch of land, you are certainly as good as totally broke and will be cheerfully kicked out of the owner's lands.

Tough luck. Now go on to work and try to forget what will happen if you fail and concentrate on the good things that may happen if you are successful.

All of you have two actions for the day. Make them worth it and remember you can actually spend one action trying to gather information around the town. You probably won't get too much due to the fact apothecaries like to keep secrecy about everything that has to do with their business, but you can always try.

Fetching herbs in the wild is also an option to raise your amount of herbs, although the wild may turn out to be a high-risk, high-reward bet for those who try it. If you head in there, remember to specify either you want to run away from threats, study them or fight them. Running away is highly advised.

For my first action, I am gonna look for prices in hiring a mage and buying a sword.

((Introduction Turn One Style, Ho~!))

It was a beautiful day: sunny, warm and welcoming. After the introductions to the rest, Rhea couldn't wait to begin trying out these new species of herbs. They had curious names, unheard off where she came from. It was to be a new step in a different path.

"Greetings neighbor! We're all in this together!"

>Search for any information regarding herbs, their uses and growth rates. If possible, include any known formulas regarding their compatibility with each other. Eg, a book on these things.
