[Chiefwaffles]

You live in a small village in the middle of nowhere, constantly harassed by raiders, mages, orcs, as well as many people under many different gods, each promising many different fantastical powers for the simple price of following their young deity. Some bring barrels of seemingly flaming healing salve, others showcase great displays of magic, creation, and more, while others simply resort to pleading. You cared not for these trivial gods. Until now.

On one of the few occasions where the night is allowed to pass without the militia being called to arms, you lie asleep in your small hut, on a bed made of bunched straw, when a strange dream intrudes your slumber. As your incorporeal self is surrounded by a deep mist, you hear something.

"You, what's your name?, a voice calls out from beyond the strange mist, "and who are you?"

My name is Bearus, I'm the king of the bear men, and best magic summoner of bears.

No.

We are Vikra Vakral.

We are a scholar. The only one in the village. We do the record keeping and the writing for most of the town. And on occasion give writing lessons to the few clever children. We are female, although originally our learned nature spooked some of the townsfolk when we first settled in. They have come to both respect and rely on us. As we have stopped traders from swindling the town on multiple occasions.

I'm bad at names but how about a ritualist who dabbles in alchemy and perform an important role in the lower high ranks of the town militia.

"I am Vikra Bearus, and am a scholar who keeps record for this village and helps the militia via alchemy. Who are you?" you state, deliberately leaving out your minor interest with attempting to create a race of bear men.

Before the entity can answer, the dream world collapses. You awake up to the ever so familiar sound of the town bells, signifying an attack on the village. Based on the regular nature of most attacks, you'll probably be needed in about ten minutes, so you have time to prepare first.

Looking inside a wooden cabinet given as a gift from the carpenter, you see:

• A rusty one handed sword
• 16 copper coins
• Mortar and Pestle
• Various vials
• A bag of alchemy ingredients
• Several books

((Due to CERTAIN PEOPLE and the fact that there was no consensus at all, I combined them all. If anyone really disagrees with something, I may be willing to retconn some aspects for a bit.))

Recall what ingredients we have and what possible things we can make with them.

+1 Can you tell why I got interested in this thread. 

[~Neri]

Was wondering when you would show up~

[Chiefwaffles]

Recall what ingredients we have and what possible things we can make with them.

The bag is quite light right now. You were actually planning to go get some more ingredients from the nearby forest, but that's hard to do with a raiding party at your doorstep.
Inside the bag, you find:

• Two vials of Silverleaf dust
• One tangleroot
• A half-full vial of mistleaf

You grab your pocket-sized notebook from the cabinet, and peer into its notes:

Silverleaf – A regular looking leaf with mild restoration properties when ground.
Tangleroot – Some, well, tangled roots that can be ground into a powder that closes wounds
Mist-Leaf – A regular-ish leaf with strange indentations. Inside every leaf is a ‘bulb’ of a liquid which almost explosively turns into a safe yet cloudy mist when in contact with water.
Widows’ Flowers – Flowers which secrete a deadly toxin which can cause the victim to start convulsing and eventually die without proper care

Sadly these are the only ingredients you could find in the area since you've started experimenting with alchemy. You should be able to think of possible things to make on the spot, but you can flip to the page of your notebook containing a few obvious observations on combinations of these ingredients if you want.

Also, Examine the vials, check if they are donned by a title and if that title is registered inside the notebook and or book, afterwards look around the area, you are in since it was not stated what location you were currently located at. Afterwards, amble around and check out for any useful items that seem to be loitering around, may have some use in our inventory, a nice main objective would be to find some bag to place items in, containers, some sort of food which will not rot, basic survival essentials just in case you seem to not be able to head back to your location from the raid.
