You are an apothecary.
Right now, you have a hut and no herbs.
You have one assistant.
The game goes something like this:
You have ten generic time units (turns) with which to gather herbs and make potions.
Each of your assistants is capable of gathering herbs, doing a job in the city to get money, or working around the shop to upgrade it with things such as a garden for growing certain herbs, cleaning to raise attractiveness, etc.
At the end of a ten turns (a round), you may or may not have a patient, depending on various circumstances.
You can treat the patients, or you can experiment on them to identify herbs or something.
You may also be approached by people who want to buy a potion outright or be your assistant.

Anybody can post actions and such, but if you post for the apothecary, let somebody else post for the assistants.

>find some herbs

[Dyjeccu]

Well well. I put on my wizard hat and robe. I am Alvin, Apothecaries apprentice! It is time to make my master in to the renowned apothecary he has dreamed of becoming since childhood!

Without supplies he will never get there! I spend the afternoon in the forest gathering herbs, guided by my master's knowledge, to calm a variety of common ailments. After, I will beat down this shack's cobwebs and dust.

You gather ten units of herbs in the bushes behind your shack.
Your assistant, Alvin, gathers four units of herbs.
Alvin also cleans up the rafters a bit.

There are no customers at the end of the day.

There is always more work to do. His master always impressed Alvin with his wild knowledge; bottling fame, brewing glory, even stoppering death! It is time to show the lands what his master can do!

Alvin attempts to locate paints and tools to fix up this old shop, then wanders in to town to spread word: How fortunate the residents are that the Apothecary is open for business!

I'm guessing we don't have a "Apothecery for Dummies" book? If we do:

You gather herbs all day, and have picked up 10 new bundles.
You then sort out the herbs based on their type, then place ones that are the same together.

There are four types of leaves, two types of fungi, and one type of root.
You have:
-8 bundles of Leaf 1
-3 bundles of Leaf 2
-2 bundles of Leaf 3
-2 bundles of Leaf 4
-3 bundles of Mushroom 1
-2 bundles of Mold 1
-4 bundles of Root 1

You decide to check your apothecary's tome given to you by your old master to identify some of these herbs you've found.
Leaf 1 is Colour Leaf, a local anasthetic and hallucinogen.
Leaf 2 is Sweet Leaf, a marketable commodity, only good for producing sugar.
Leaf 3 is not in the book. How strange...
Leaf 4 is just ordinary useless leaves.
Mushroom 1 is Mad Hatter, a hallucinogen causing painful bouts of laughter.
Mold 1 is Red Cheese Mold, another marketable commodity.
Root 1 is Blue Root, a root with curative properties. A good base ingredient for potions.

Alvin decides to clean up a bit before heading off to town.

You receive no customers.

Make a potion that is 2 part colour leaf, 1 part sweat leaf, 1 part Blue root.

[Jetsquirrel]

Let the assistant make a potion that consist of the mad hatter, suger leaf and the unknown 1

[Dwarf]

This seems like an awesome forum game.

[Wimdit]

Eat a bundle of leaf 3 to see what it does.

[100killer9]

Kidnap a child to force feed it leaf 3. Then, set it loose after you see the effects. If it kills him, bury him.

[Yarnspinner]

   After the assistant make the potion, he looks for a woodsman/hunter..  if he finds one he asks the hunter to trap some (live) small animals in exchange for a 'potion of equal or lesser value'. Tell him that more work could be available if he is quick.  ((trying to get lab animals))

[Dwarf]

You guys are neither the assiasant nor the apothecary...

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Anybody can post actions and such, but if you post for the apothecary, let somebody else post for the assistants.

Also I second that this sounds like a sweet forum game.

> Assistant: Gather herbs 6 times, Catch rats 4 times.
