Herbology 101
Being in such a remote part of the Kawani lands, The Forgemaster has had to learn to fend for himself. However, sometimes he needs a little extra help and relies on the local plants to create potions and salves to cure his ailments.

Goal: Find the herbs and mix them together to make a salve!
Instructions: Roll 3d6 and match them to the list below. These are the ingredients you've chosen for your salve!

  1. You pick some sweet berries. They're blue in colour and have a funny after taste and they make your tongue tingle. (+1 potency )
  2. You find some odd shaped leaves. The smell musty and you aren't game enough to try but how much harm could they really do? (-2 potency)
  3. You pick some clear water from a nearby spring. It's cool and is the cleanest thing you've ever tasted. (+5 potency)
  4. Your pick some purple flowers. In the back of your mind, you swear you recall being warned about them as a foal... (-5 potency)
  5. You choose some aloe, soothing and cool. (+2 potency)
  6. You choose some seaweed growing in the river. It doesn't have much of a negative effect but it's slimy and the taste is off putting. (-1 potency)


Now that you've chosen your ingredients you need to make your salve! Roll 1d6 and match your result below!
    Odd: You have absolutely no idea what you're doing and you spill half your salve while mixing it! (-5 potency)
    Even: Your a natural! Even if your ingredients were questionable, everything seems to have come together nicely! (+5 potency)


Reward: Tally up your score and match to the results below!
    0 - 5 potency: Your "medicine" leaves the Forgemaster stuck in bed for days violently ill. He prays for death but also fears it has truly come for him. While he's sleeping, you manage to slip a gold piece from his coin purse. You did warn him that you weren't that great at identifying herbs! (+1 gold piece)
    6 - 10: The potion doesn't seem to have any effect at all. He knows you tried your best, however, and he grants you a reward. (+2 gold pieces)
    11 - 15: The potion has a pretty positive effect! While it won't solve all his problems, it does invigorate him and give him plenty of energy to get through the day without any groans or sighs! (+3 gold pieces)
    16 - 20: This is the greatest potion The Forgemaster has ever had in his life! He swears you've created the elixir of life. (+5 gold pieces)

Yalie and Esmerelda had stumbled upon the Forge completely by accident. Neither of them had any desire for weapons or armor, but perhaps the coins could be used for something else in the future or maybe someone might trade her coins for something of use. She introduced herself to the Forgemaster and he seemed friendly enough if a little rough around the edges. Once formalities and pleasantries were completed, the duo headed to the job board to look over the options. She didn't have enough confidence in her battle prowess to take on any of the foes. Even the tiny terror gave her hesitation. She had already traveled quite far and didn't particularly feel like going on another journey.

"Perhaps herbology, 'Lie," Esmeralda suggested with a yawn. The sun was high in the sky and it was well past her bed time.

Yalie pursed her lips and raised a brow as she went over the instructions carefully. It didn't seem too difficult and though her knowledge about herbs and plants wasn't very strong, she decided it couldn't be too terrible. She picked the basket up in her mouth and set out to find the necessary ingredients.

First, she found a berry bush. She decided to test them before hand and she found them sweet and delicious, bursting with juice. They were quite delicious and she decided to add extra to her potion. She wasn't sure if they had any health benefits but they were tasty so they couldn't do any harm. As she continued through the woods she came across purple flowers growing on a vine. For a moment, she hesitated, certain she had been warned of them as a foal. The memory was hazy and she shrugged it off, trusting her instinct in the moment rather than a foggy memory that could be wrong completely.

When it came to actually brewing the potion, Yalie was at a loss of where to start. She decided to crush all the ingredients together - the berries and the purple flowers. It became a sticky mess and she began to worry that she'd made a mistake. She added a touch of water and brought the concoction to the fire in the middle of the Forge. On the way, however, she spilled half the contest and stained the earth bright purple. She let the potion brew for too long and what was left behind was a thick, sticky mess. Still, she had to present it to the Forgemaster and he accepted it graciously, consuming the whole thing on the spot.

He had barely finished swallowing when he hunched over, groaning. His legs folded beneath him and his eyes rolled back in his head. Around her, occupants of the Forge watched with wide eyes.

"I, uhh, sorry!" Yalie called, bowing deeply. While she apologised, Esmerelda helped herself to whatever coins the Forgemaster had on him at the time and hurried back to Yalie's side, whispering harshly. "Let's get out of here before he wakes up!" The pair wasted no time, hurrying off and leaving the Forgemaster to fend for himself.
