Gather them, then.  Who knows what they're good for, but they're definitely good for something.
If nothing else, as souvenirs.

[Culise]

Mirella pays for the potions and accepts the list.  Looking it over, she considers it for a moment.  "I am afraid I cannot promise that I will return with everything on the list, but I will certainly watch for anything on this list and if possible, return with what we can find."

[My Name is Immaterial]

Adrik:
Adrik collects a good six scales in total.

Mirella:
"Well, whatever you can find is appreciated! The more you find, the more powerful potions I can mix up for you."

[TheBiggerFish]

Store them safely.
Then, keep wandering until it's time to regroup unless there's something else interesting.

[Dwarmin]

Action: Johanna makes sure to purchase a spare axe from the smith...angle for a good bargain, at least try not to be cheated.

"Even a Wizard has to chop wood now and again. Or Orcs. I don't need it to be fancy-but, If the blade flies off in the middle of battle, though, I'm coming back and turning that apprentice of yours into a toad."

[Dwarmin]

And also...

Later, Johanna spoke to Mirella about something on her mind...

"I can't make any sense of these scrolls, Mirella! It's infuriating-like someone made a magical spells that work fine, but shouldn't...in other words, it might be the power of Religion. Or maybe I'm just too dumb to figure it out.

They might be more expertise. At the very least, you could use them yourself, whereas I probably can't-maybe once you've...I dunno, cleansed them or something. Dedicated the magic to Selune?"

[Culise]

"Ah?  It could indeed be divine rather than arcane in nature.  I would be rather surprised to find an arcane scroll too complex for you to even identify, given how talented you've shown yourself thus far in your field of expertise.

"I shall certainly take a look at them, if you think it would help."

Examine the scrolls from Johanna

[Dwarmin]

"Good, good! ...see here's this one...is that a five headed dragon-Goddess breathing fire at the Heavens, trying to bring them down? Or, just a divine tomato sauce stain..." She said, whipping out the odd scrolls. "Also, I can't tell if this little person kneeling in the middle is a man or a woman. Or even a person-they got too many parts on the wrong places. Is he praying, or is she making a cake? And what's up with the little cheese wheels with the numbers everywhere? Do those mean something?!" Johanna commented. To her, it was just a chaotic mess written by an unsteady (probably drunk) hand-she hoped Mirella was more learned in Religious study, and could probably make out some sort of pattern.

[TheBiggerFish]

Adrik, hearing a discussion about languages, walks over.
"May I take a look as well?"
Adrik, too, examines the scrolls.

[Dwarmin]

Johanna handed a scroll to Adrik.

"Here, you take the one that looks like a cloud of angry butterflies with brooms and candles, are fighting a giant cheese grater with two monkey heads..."

[My Name is Immaterial]

Johanna:
(Intimidation: 16)
The smith glares at Johanna, trying to discern whether or not she's bluffing about the toad bit. "Four gold for a Handaxe, and eight for a battleaxe."

Mirella and Adrik:
Together, the cleric and sorcerer discern the meaning of the scrolls. One is a scroll of Resistance, another is of Bane, and the third and only other readable scroll is of Earthbind.

[Dwarmin]

"I'll take one of each." Johanna says, rubbing her chin.

...

Johanna nodded.

"Right, that makes perfect sense. The kneeling thing depicts an Earthbinding spell...it's a bit wonky...but, I can rework the basic framework into a proper spell for my book. Thanks for your help, friends."

Action: Acquire the Earthbind scroll! Also, ready to go.

[Culise]

Mirella looked at the sorcerer as Johanna descended upon the Earthbind scroll.  "You can take what you need.  Don't worry about me."

...

Whenever the group first gets back together (probably at some point between the smith negotiations and the above):
Mirella paused as the others arrived.  "Everyone, I picked up a few potions in case we run into any trouble.  I want you all to have these in the event we should split up again, or if some other circumstance precludes me from using my magic."

Give two healing potions each to the other three

[Dwarmin]

Mirella looked at the sorcerer as Johanna descended upon the Earthbind scroll.  "You can take what you need.  Don't worry about me."

"I worry about ya all the time, but in this case neither of you can use this scroll-Sorcerers don't need to write things down, and Clerics couldn't learn this unless they were a sort of Earth domain, I suppose. Adrik could use it just once, yes, but I can copy the spell down for myself-and, then we'll have it as part of my arsenal for good...I'm not just snatching it for purely selfish reasons...only partly!"

"Everyone, I picked up a few potions in case we run into any trouble.  I want you all to have these in the event we should split up again, or if some other circumstance precludes me from using my magic."

Give two healing potions each to the other three

Johanna held up the potion to the light, as if inspecting them for impurities.

"Useful enough. Thank you kindly! Anyway, how much do I owe ya? I'm not asking for nothing-you must have incurred some costs to make them, and I'll gladly make a donation to Selune, as it were."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Maybe I could study it, as well, although I doubt that I'd get anything out of it."
