Yeah I actually wodered about that.
We probably neither should make poison in the guild kitchen nor in our room or Freya will kick us out for real

Also I've been wondering - the herbalism kit uses INT which is not good for me. Making potions is also an INT thing. Remember I not only have 9INT but also disadvantage

That just means your DC for the poison will be low, perhaps DC9? That's not great.

Don't worry about that for a healing potion, there's no save; you drink it, you get healed.

Yulya pays for breakfast as they leave.

Whoa, it's still cold outside, I wish I had my cloak...
Yulya routinely hands Alice her blanket before the cold-sensitive alien takes damage.

Alice puts on the cloak in front of a mirror and looks at herself from all sides. The wofl ears perk up yet are soft and flap a bit as Alice jumps around. The tail is also soft and sways back and forth with every move
Yulya smiles seeing Alice happy and applauds
I must say that does indeed look cute - youre our little wolf now!

Next stop, the alchemist, she's with a customer, counting his coin when you enter, he's a tall man, thin and sickly, with a long blue robe. His hood is up and she seems to be helping him nervously.
You can't make out his face, only darkness is seen under the hood.
Yulya tries to determine if he is even human using her perception skill

He stops momentarily in front of you all, then sweeps his cloak around himself and exits.
Yulya freezes then exhales in relief seeing the man leave without further trouble.



"Oh hi! Back so soon? I'm, afraid I couldn't sell your pest killer yet, wait, does this mean you already killed the dragon!?"
Good morning Miss Toad... bottom....
Uhm..
Not that I mean to pry into your customers but that man - was quite a frightening appearance!
As Alice said we need a few more ingredients before we depart for the dragon. I will leave this to her.

After shopping it is time to return to the Guild
Where will you be making this poison?
Yulya asks with slight concern

Yulya is still struggling with the ingredients. but ok 5x10 doses it is. not cheap but we can afford it. Alice needs to work out what to buy and pay for it shes the only one with gp left
regarding potions it says we need mandrake. if we can rely on finding it later we dont need to buy it yet. for syrup we still have the honeycombs.
about making poison where should they do it? i doubt thhe guild kitchen is a good place for that and i guess they need a fireplace?

>Healroot, Jewelroot

These are in demand in Neverwinter and are not generally available as they're part of the lucrative Healing Potion process chain. The recipe for full potion 2d4+2 contains an additional ingredient that is not Mandrake root, so that is available. That ingredient is unknown, perhaps something harvested from the bones of children, who can say?

Mandrake root may be hard to spot but it can be found foraging, Healroot/Jewelroot is somewhat easy to find in the wild, you know, where all the monsters are.

>What needs to be gathered

I wouldn't worry about gathering, you can purchase all the ingredients you need for the poison, glass can be scavenged from the oil flask by filling the bullseye lantern.

>Cat is thinking about work arounds

Good ideas!

After breakfast the group mossies on over to the stablemaster where the tender is brushing the coats of his horses in the barn.
The tender explains that your mules are in good health and good spirits, he explains that they could probably only pull 8 hours but you could increase it an hour a day and they'll get up to 12 in a few days. He explains further that they could go as fast as 4 miles an hour if they're unburdened, but more like 3 miles per hour with bags or pulling.
You explain you're going to be picking them up in the morning and he informs you they'll be rested, fed and ready to go at 06:00. There's no fee prior to initial pickup.
Cat is satisfied and pats the mules
One more day Nya until you get a bit of exercise Nya!

At the Cartwright Georgia is working on one of her customer's carriages and Ashley sighs longingly before you ask her about a bullseye lantern.[/i]
"Sure we have 'em," she points out the item on the shelf
Cat buys
-1x Bullseye Lantern 10gp 2lbs
-5x Lamp Oil 1sp 1lb.
and hands her 5sp for the oil. She doesn't have any gp or enough in silver.

Alice Nyaa, we need gold Nya!

The team next moved on next to pick up Alice's cloak.
The shopkeeper sees you enter and eyes Cat's armor again.
Cat's tail sways left and right, unsure what to do. She whispers to Yulya
Nyaa, I hope this man didn't also make the armor Nya for that Noble Nya! Looks like he can make everything Nya...

Alice puts on the cloak in front of a mirror and looks at herself from all sides. The wofl ears perk up yet are soft and flap a bit as Alice jumps around. The tail is also soft and sways back and forth with every move
Cat can't help but laugh at Alice's wolf cloak!
Hahaha you look cute Nya!



At the Adventure Shop
Cat inspects the quality of the utensils and is pleased
Nya can't have enough pots Nya!
Cat buys:
-1Pot, Iron 10lbs, 2gp
-1Herbalism kit for 5gp
-5Waxed wicks 2cp
The process repeats as Cat pays 1sp for 5 wicks, leaving the 7gp for Alice

Nyaa Alice Nya!

At the Alchemist
Cat again stays outside leaving the ingredients to Alice
No way I'm going in there Nya unless it's a matter of life or death Nya!

She notices the man in black cloak hastily exiting the shop. One more reason to stay outside if such shady people frequent that shop.
Was that an assassin of something Nya?

I believe we're finished with shopping - but not done.
Cat, let's look for more poisonous plants! Why buy what you can find for free!
Cat shakes her head
Nyaa I didn't see anything in here Nya looks like they weed out anything poisonous here Nya. We must look outside the city Nya. Let's return to the guild for now Nya!

I think the purchasable ingredients for 5x10 doses is fine.
But I still don't understand what needs to be gathered.
Bernd said Mandrake is rare and hard to find because there's not much aboveground. I didn't know the plant looks like that.
Can healroot be found or should we buy it? How much is it?

Looks like we need the herbalism kit too.

And about the mules - you say they can pull for 8h but again - we have two, only one pulls the cart, the other currently doesn't need to cary anything! If we switch them halfways, none will ever have to pull more than 8h.

I just want to be clear, the healing potion requires all the ingredients, though Healroot alone may heal 1d2 hp, only animals could eat it raw. A potion made with just jewelweed, healroot or mandrake root would have a minor effect only.

You also will not find any significant poisonous plants inside or around the city. They only occur in the wild, the farther away from main roads the better.

We gotta determine how much poision ingredients we buy. I'd say 5x 10 doses. This should last for a while.

"I didn't see elephants yet and war prefix is way more advanced, like I see war dog and it's level 3 so I could transcribe a scroll for it, but dog is really weak. Horse is level 3, so I could just summon a horse, boring, a war horse would be tier 2, level 4 I think, boring."
Well it should mainly pull the cart - and have ears...
On the other hand, imagine the cart being pulled by something like that giant snakes we saw, that would look hilarious!

After breakfast the group mossies on ...
Alice looks for Elizabeth, not finding her she leaves the beetle on her counter
Whoa, it's still cold outside, I wish I had my cloak...

The team moved on next to pick up Alice's cloak.
The shopkeeper sees you enter and eyes Cat's armor again, then sees Alice and nods, she stands up, walking to the back wall, she removes a cloak with wolf ears and tail. "Mhm, great deal, too cheap! A lot of work, too much work! And so quick, too quick for so little. Mhm." She hands it to Alice, "Go on, try it on."
Alice trembles with excitement
This is brilliant! You actually did it!
Alice puts on the cloak in front of a mirror and looks at herself from all sides. The wofl ears perk up yet are soft and flap a bit as Alice jumps around. The tail is also soft and sways back and forth with every move
Alice bows, the ears droop slightly forward

Excellent work, Good Sir! Even better than I had imagined!
[Item acquired: Wofl cloak]


 
The old man in the back nods and smiles, puffing on his pipe.

Next stop, the alchemist, she's with a customer, counting his coin when you enter, he's a tall man, thin and sickly, with a long blue robe. His hood is up and she seems to be helping him nervously.
You can't make out his face, only darkness is seen under the hood.
He stops momentarily in front of you all, then sweeps his cloak around himself and exits.
The man is faced by an odd girl wearing a cloak wit wofl ears sewn on top, looking at him with a smug grin. What an unfortunate man with an ear-less cloak!
Alice turns to Ashley after he left

Huh, is that the male version of that girl from the guild that's obsessed with you?

"Oh hi! Back so soon? I'm, afraid I couldn't sell your pest killer yet, wait, does this mean you already killed the dragon!?"
Haa, a dozen...
But we threw them away.
No, we need more stuff if we even want to get to that dragon.
[quantities to be determined]
-Tobacco leaves, dried bundle for 'religious purposes'
-Mandrake root: at the alchemist
-90% pure Alcohol in ceramic, wax sealed jars
-Empty vial capable of storing 1lb

We'd also need some healroot, how much is it?
Also do you have any broken glass by any chance? Even a few small shards would help!

Exhausted from shopping Ashley says, "I want to go back to the room and read my book."
Yes I believe we're finished with shopping - but not done.
Cat, let's look for more poisonous plants! Why buy what you can find for free!
