Oh hey i just realized that everyone posted! I shall procrastinate coding something by updating my forum game!

Phil:
[
5] If there's one thing Ye Olde Booke is good at, it's potioncraft basics! Phil references the very short table in the back.
"Some herbs are exceptionally good at amplifying the effects of other ones," it says, heavily paraphrased. "However, there are only three or so common substances that are actually useful in everyday potions, because other reagents are either too rare, too weak, or too toxic."
[ Abridged Table of Potion Reagants ] (or, Six Substances That Enhance Potions / You'll Never Guess The First One!)
- Base Herb -
The base herb, a herb with narrow, medium-length leaves arranged in a "bush" shape around a central mildly woody stem is often mistaken for a tuft of hardy grass. In truth, it has slightly less herbological worth than your common grass. But, when combined with other herbs, it serves to increase the amount of potion produced without sacrificing quality. That is, base herbs are weak reagents, but the ease in acquiring them puts them at the top of the list.
- White Herb -
Paleness like porcelain and leaves that sound ominously like bones rattling characterise this herb. It is usually found in moist underground caves that have bones nearby. Some superstitious people believe that the rattle of its leaves lure dumb stupid brave adventurers to unfortunate demises. While that is most definitely a myth, it is frequently found growing amongst the dry skeletons of unfortunate men. The White Herb is a powerful reagent, though, and is highly sought after.
- Decoction of Base (aka Base Solution) -
White herbs are unfortunately rare. Aspiring apothecarists, aiming to avoid an addition to white herbs have instead created an artificial alternative: boiling dozens of base herbs into a sludge, then squeezing out a small amount of concentrate. This, however, only is about half as potent as a single white herb.
- Alchemical Gold -
"Alchemical gold" actually has little to do with alchemy. Gold that is conjured by mages has extremely high quality, and if a mage can be convinced to create a fine powder of pure gold, rather than a bar, this powder is usable as a reagent approximately as strong as a white herb but astronomically more expensive.
It also leaves a gritty feeling in the mouth.
- Blood [the rest of the page seems torn out]
Perhaps Phil could toss some bored children a few coin and tell them to gather as many base herbs as they can, or attempt to grow a lot at once. Or, would he rather ask some travelling merchant to get him an order of base solution, or maybe even white herbs?

Mergol purchases the IRONWOOD HOE for 13 bronze. In his hands, it transforms into an IRONWOOD HOE OF DESTINY, gaining 3 durability. It seems to look more full of purpose.
