I will process the host's report at my leisure. For now, you can rest assured you don't have access to enough ingredients without purchasing them and they're not cheap because they have special hanling instructions and are otherwise contraband to prevent the rapid onset of domestic poisonings.

you have a strange taste in girls you like my friend!

i dreamt there was an earthquake. it was odd ive never experienced one theres few places in the world with less quakes than here.
i was a child and in the house with my parents. everything trembled and there were jerky movements of the ground. i immediately thought this is what an earthquake mus be like. it wasnt scary more curious. i urged my parents out of the house just to be sure.  the neighborhood was unfamiliar and there were large yellow vehicles across the treet doing some construction work. it looked like they caused the tremors.
whole thing felt really realistic. unfortunately no girls

"I bet we wouldn't make it anyway, these mules aren't even used to pulling all day, are they?"
Well we have two so each would only have to pull half the time, right? What do you think, Cat?
We should still stop by at the stablemaster as we had intended to pick them up today.

"I just found a spell that could summon a bone dragon." Ashley looks satisfied with her response. "This book is so fun! Anyways, only Summer knows and I don't see her here, do you?"
Yulya rolls her eyes
I feel this book will bring us nothing but trouble...

Cat looks around and finds Brutus with his companions. Josephia's also at a table with her group. The half-orcs are there and the dragonewts too.
Yulya glances over unsure how to react as they aren't looking in her direction and quickly gives up.

I'll leave the beetle at her desk later or slip it into her pocket before we leave!
Yulya sighs at her troublesome companions antics.
I am sure she will be delighted. How did it even come to this? Make sure you don't have to pay another fee...

Normally I'd just spit out the final product but in this shape...
All we need is alcohol and some pot. We probably shouldn't do it in the ones Cat cooks with.
If you want the real deal we also need a small amount of acid like acetic acid and a base like quicklime.
I am not overly fond or poisons as my ability to cure you are limited but if poisoned arrows put us in a significant advantage I guess we must take that risk. Make a list of what you need and what we should buy then!

Yulya feels that this will be a long day

That's why you need a specific set of three ingredients to counter the natural resistance of these magical touched inhabitants of the material plane. Any single poison is nearly useless but three specific ones put together are more useful. I'll let you discover which combinations work. The ones you can make are limited to 1d4 poison damage.

The expensive poisons are already fully optimized and overpowered with proprietary formulations and preparations that even when analyzed won't predict the secret process to develop them.

The same happened to me with the Datura innoxia my father had collected as seeds somewhere abroad. Hands got numb when you just brushed against the leaves. Sadly the plants wouldn't propagate from seeds after a few years, they're not hardy here.

I have uploaded Vol. 1 of my field guide in the endchan meta thread. The girls should be able to find plenty of nightshade relatives in or around the city. Keep in mind that not all plants are available throughout the year but as you said those weeds should be growing permanently in a frost-free Mediterranean environment.

There will be fewer plants available along the trail, especially if snow covered, but there is plenty in any habitat at any season. Even in the mountain. Absurdly the best place to forage are urban or agricultural wasteland.

Gameplay-wise I still think this is a bit too easy, poisons are expensive for a reason even if they are laughably easy to produce. The goblins with their distillery could mass-produce poisons that take out any non-resistant creature with a single hit. Good thing they're not smart enough for this - I hope.

Basically it's enough to heat any of those plants with alcohol and let it evaporate. There are optional ways to extract the alkaloids in a higher concentration but I don't know if it's worth it. It would require more equipment. A small amount of a strong acid and base, organic solvent and a few glass vials and a pipette or syringe. Or we can let Alice siphon off the top organic phase with a thin pseudopod at the risk of getting poisoned. And we'd need her to produce small amounts of organic solvent like ethyl acetate or better yet acetone.

That would at least make things a bit more complex, otherwise every idiot could poison anyone

Alice munches down her breakfast



Didnt you look forward to give her that beetle for whatever reason? Not that I think you should...
Alice blushes
Noo, not in front of everyone! I'll leave the beetle at her desk later or slip it into her pocket before we leave!

What do we need for poison arrows and is this safe? Seeing the ruckus you caused in the poisoned state I do not even want to know what would happen to Cat in such state.
Uhm, relatively I guess?

If you want the real deal we also need a small amount of acid like acetic acid and a base like quicklime. Also an organic solvent. I can synthesize ethyl acetate from alcohol and acetic acid overnight, it won't be much but probably enough.

I am not against visiting the bath at all if you would like. You collapsed in there last time.
Yes, yes you don't have to rub it in. I'll be careful this time.

I just found a spell that could summon a bone dragon.
Haa?
So you did find a book to summon us a draft animal? Any mecha war elephants in there?
But no bone dragon pls! It's not cute and doesn't have ears!

Cat looks around and finds Brutus with his companions. Josephia's also at a table with her group.
Hey, there's your barbarian friend and that witch that made our money disappear!

Elizabeth takes the order for bread and juice from the group. "Easy day, it'll just be a minute."

Nya I don't like camping out on the first night Nya while we're not used to the mules and cart Nya! But if we wait another day Nya

I figured we wouldn't make it to the rest stop today. Looks like we gotta leave really early tomorrow.

Yes indeed we will not make it to the rest stop today. I agree it is not worth rushing through the night - at least not until we are familiar with the animals.

Ashley's intuition kicks in, "I bet we wouldn't make it anyway, these mules aren't even used to pulling all day, are they?"

I wonder if that stable guy will let us keep the mules there for another night

"He said he would."

In Eldath's name at least dont parade it around like this before someone starts asking questions!

"They won't if they know what's good for them, I just found a spell that could summon a bone dragon." Ashley looks satisfied with her response. "This book is so fun! Anyways, only Summer knows and I don't see her here, do you?"



Cat looks around and finds Brutus with his companions. Josephia's also at a table with her group. The half-orcs are there and the dragonewts too.

Elizabeth returns with the bread and juice, it smells heavenly and the juice has sweet and delicate berry flavor.

Yulya also orders the same breakfast and then considers the options for the day.

As Elizabeth leaves Yulya looks at Alice

And I am not against visiting the bath at all if you would like. You collapsed in there last time. I do think we have sufficient funds.

Yulya tries to ignore the book as long as possible but the elephant in the room grows bigger and bigger. She turns to Ashley with a pained look

"Yulya got it for me."
