Seeking out potion ingredients for a sketchy apprentice leads to a wellness check on a dead tomato farmer.
I need ingredients for two potion experiments, and have heard that both can be found around the farms in Tebendsham. I need one gallon of Fuzz Buzz honey, and the juice of ten Bloody Berries. I will pay 200 gold for the gallon of honey, and 75 gold for each vial of berry juice. If all ingredients are retrieved, I will give each OSHA participant either one Whiz Fizz potion or one Roly-Bowly potion. When you return see Macron about payment. He will work out the details. - Francois, Potions Master. Reward: 1 gallon Fuzz Buzz Honey - 200 GP 10 Bloody Berry Juice - 75 GP per vial Bonus for successful fulfillment: Choice of Whiz Fizz or Roly-Bowly potion Participated: West Lee, Beans, Ross Fairweather Report 0025 Filed at Briggsfall Office An unlikely Adventure Ross Fairweather Student Wizard Never had the slightest clue how mysterious and chaotic the outside world could be. After being told I needed to broaden my horizons and seek out adventure, I stumbled upon the unlikeliest duo of a Kenku named Beans and a Dhampir named West Lee. The next stages of our encounter proved to be a lively one. We all agreed to seek out Macron about what we needed to do in order to receive payment. The post turned out to carry falsified information on the purveyor of the quest as it did not derive from Francois the potions master save a small gnome and its unknown master. After much debate, we agreed upon the request to venture to Tebendsham to determine of any farmers that have gone missing or not have been seen publicly for some time. Once we arrived in Tebendsham we determined that a man named Cornelius was not seen for some time and did not appear for his routine game of checkers. West Lee, Beans, and I decided to do a wellness check on the farmer. Once at his farm, we discovered some odd revelations. Fae like magic seemed to dawn upon the farm in which enchanted the crops that have been growing there. We decided to go stealthily into the farm house but failed to do so silently. We were introduced with the corpse of Cornelius and enchanted killer tomatoes. These tomatoes had the capability of teleportation amongst other things. While it bears eyes it did not blink. Its only desire: remove the flesh and drink the blood of its victims. We diced the tomatoes to death. We would then go outside of the home to prepare for our next course of action. West Lee stealthily came up with a master plan to burn the farmhouse and destroy the remaining tomatoes. With cunning action, West Lee was able to burn the roof top and attract all tomatoes from the farm. Noticing that Beans was in dire need of assistance, I sprang into action and tried to separate him from our foes. Unfortunately, I do not know what transpires next as everything became dark. I suddenly wake up on top of West Lee and we continued our advantage against the killer tomatoes and are able to vanquish our foes. We would then burn the farm land and collect the necessary materials needed to complete our quest. My first quest completed, I hope to continue to embark on these journeys to continue learning of the world around me and bond with the unlikeliest duo.
