Nigel:
Time... for HARVEST! First, Nigel counts how many plants seem to be viable...

(-20% stiff ground)(+50% DEVOTION) =
4.8 potential
He then kneels on the ground and starts digging up the herbs. Each plant must be mostly intact, from major roots to stem to leaves, and if Nigel messes up the usable portions of each plant rapidly decrease.

Unfortunately, these stiff herbs are also more brittle than it seems, and he snaps more than one in half. He ends up with a handful of ASSORTED PLANT MATTER and a single stiff sunshine herb.

Mergol also accidentally severs the root of one of the plants. Even if base herbs are almost literally grass, they too need
some skill when being collected.
+1 base herb
+1 base herb seed
+1 assorted plant matter

Phil:
Phil politely asks for a full seven point repair.
"Righty, let's do this!" The blacksmith takes out a heavy-looking hammer and readies to strike.
[
6] The blacksmith hammers the hoe! It recovers 2 durability, and loses the RUSTY modifier! Phil is pretty sure that rust doesn't work like that, but he doesn't mention it. "Haha, I knew I can blacksmith," mutters the blacksmith under his breath. (Phil only needs to pay for one repair's worth)
[
1] The blacksmith hammers the hoe, but misses and instead hits the shaft! -1 max durability. "Whoops," he says. "I won't charge you for that!"
[
5] The blacksmith continues to repair the hoe. It recovers 1 durability.
[
6] The blacksmith seems to have gotten the hang of repairing things. Not only does the hoe regain 2 durability, it also starts glowing with a dim green aura. 10% chance to SMITE undead for double damage! Unfortunately, the ground is not undead.
[
2] With a loud
clang sound, the blacksmith accidentally breaks off the tip of the hoe. -1 max durability. He looks sheepish.
Final result: the 1/8 durability RUSTY IRON HOE has become a 6/6 durability
GREEN IRON HOE ("Of retribution!" the blacksmith insists) IRON HOE OF RETRIBUTION! Phil only has to pay 3 points' worth of repairs, or 30 bronze.
While losing the RUSTYness was great, and the RETRIBUTION part a nice touch, Phil feels mildly cheated.
Phil also buys the SMALL IRON HAMMER. 40 bronze left.
Because each turn is as elastic as reasonble, Phil also has time to do a test run! He crushes the assorted plant matter further with the new SMALL IRON HAMMER and tosses it into the cauldron along with water and stirs.

Success! Phil now has a vial of PLANT MATTER STEW. It smells exactly like a grass stew would smell.
