Assistant doesn't make potions.

You decide to make three potions.

You mix 2 bundles of colour leaf, 1 bundle of sweet leaf, and 1 bundle of blue root.
The resulting concoction has an iridescent blue glow and smells like stale bread.

You mix 1 bundle of mad hatter, 1 bundle of sweet leaf, and 1 bundle of the unknown leaf.
The resulting mixture is a milky red and smells like cinnamon.

You mix 1 bundle of sweet leaf and 1 bundle of mad hatter.
The strange substance shines with every colour in the rainbow and has no smell.

Your assistant gathers 6 bundles of herbs and catches 4 rats.
You decide to spend the rest of the day collecting herbs (7 bundles)

You quickly identify all of your herbs as:
3 bundles Blue Root
3 bundles Sweet Leaf
2 bundles of tree bark
4 bundles of wispy grass
1 bundle of Mad Hatter.

You check your tome and identify the unknown herbs:
The tree bark is Crying Tree bark, a substance that will hinder the progress of poisons.
The wispy grass is Long Weed, a bitter tasting folk remedy for headaches.

You receive a customer experiencing:
-Bloody vomit
-Stomach cramps
-Sore feet

So are we going to assume the sore feet are a separate symptom?

Make of the symptoms what you will.
Those are the things ailing him.

Unfortunately, there are no more empty vials.
You need to use existing potions or plain herbs.

Yes, Because.... sore feet... wtf... he probably got sore walking over here. Even if they are not this way we get payed twice as much and he should be cured any way.*


*or die, whatever the point is it will not make a deference.

Edit: Damn you people making your stupid potions, sigh.

Ok than feed him some Crying Tree bark and have him rub his feet with Color Leaf.

Also to whoever is is going to do the apprentice have him go to town to sell the Sweet Leaf and the Red Cheese Mold.

Chances are that he has a bloody ulcer. As for the feet, if he came in without shoes then it's just a symptom of being an idiot. Otherwise, see if they are swollen.

Assistant
Give him the unidentified leaves
Give him the iridescent blue potion for the foot pain. Or make him rub it on his foot. That should clear up a vial.

Just for clarification, customers count as separate round from the regular ones.
You focus solely on curing the patient.

You have the patient drink the iridescent blue potion and chew on some crying tree bark.
You rub some colour leaf oil on his feet.

His pupils dilate to the largest they can go and he begins shaking and talking about funny colours.
His feet are somewhat numb.

You observe him overnight, and he seems to be cured of everything.
He hands you ten gold pieces and is on his way.

You feed the unidentified leaf to one of the rats.
It starts to shake and foam at the mouth before falling over dead.
You add a description of it on a scrap with other poisonous leaves in your tome.

Spending the rest of the day collecting herbs, you gather:
4 bundles Death Leaf
2 bundles Blue Root
3 bundles unidentified mushroom

Alvin heads into town to sell the Sweet Leaf and Cheese Mold, buy more vials and do odd jobs.
He makes 25gp in sales, 18gp in various jobs, and spends 12 on vials for a net profit of 31 gp.

You receive no customers.
