June 23, 201212 yr Author "Ayla, what do you know of these 'Essences'?" Daxus's voice echoes around the room. Ayla is not in the vault.
June 23, 201212 yr Author "Coward. Ran away at the first sign of danger and locked us down here." QM note: She never was in the vault. Edited June 23, 201212 yr by Endgame
June 23, 201212 yr "I would have liked the Nostrum, but it's fine. Pretzel, could I trade my Smoke Bomb for one of your Fire Bombs? (I can Flee; you cannot.)" "I open the boxes." "I wonder if these substances will be toxic to the Progg?" "Sorry, Daxus, I thought you already had a Nostrum, but I now realize it was a mead instead. I didn't want you drinking too much in this quest, but if you really want it feel free to barter it off of Mizuki, if you can." I hand one of the green essences to each one of us and then give one of each of the blue ones to the rogues while Erik and I take a yellow one each. "25 is not divisible by 4. Ah, well, we'll each get 6 gold, and I'll take the last piece for you. Consider yourself one quarter of the way to the first stage of your salvation." Monk Pretzel gives 6 gold to everyone and takes 7 for himself. "Alternatively, I could take it all now, and we can divide it up with all the gold we loot by the time this quest is over." "Is that a door at the end of the room? If so, let's open it, if not let's go back to the main room."
June 23, 201212 yr I sniff the essences to see if I can gain a knowledge of their chemical properties. I turn to Daxus. "The fire bombs are worth 10 gold, and the smoke 5. Would you be willing to do a trade and add 5 gold on top of it?"
June 23, 201212 yr "I will give you the Smoke Bomb; give me the Fire Bomb and 1 Gold. Just keep the 5 Gold. (In addition to the 7 that you already have.) Mizuki, how much do you want for the Nostrum. (Provided that you are willing to sell it.)" "What about the second Key?" OOC: Stats updated with Fire Bomb, Essences, and 1 Gold. Add the Smoke Bomb and 5 Gold to your inventory.
June 23, 201212 yr "Many thanks Daxus. I took the second key as well. You can hold onto it, if you like, but I think they're quest items and not items we will use besides to open doors." Endgame, I hope you caught what was going on here. Legoman273 and I have updated our signatures accordingly.
June 23, 201212 yr "Not a problem. So, Daxus, how do you find the underworld? Me, personally, I detest it strongly. No light. All is dark and evil and the deeper you go into the heart of the earth. The further into demon's lair you enter. But what are the rest of your feelings about this vault?"

Monk Pretzel sniffs his essences and they smell oddly... fruity and alchoholic. You realize these are the primordial forms of consumable items. Useless in their current state, but if you find the proper equipment, you might be able to brew some helpful items. What would the party like to do?
June 23, 201212 yr *In response to Pretzel* "Eh, I've seen worse." *To all* "I say we should fine some way to refine these chemicals. I think that the Green ones are Potions, the Yellow ones are Nostrums, and the Blue ones are either Smelling Salts or Remedies - judging by their refined-form colours." Edited June 23, 201212 yr by LEGOman273
June 23, 201212 yr Author *I look around for some way to refine the essences* You need the proper equipment to do that. plus, you're no brewer or alchemist - you have no clue how.
June 23, 201212 yr "Let's go back to first room and see if we can open the door to the left of this door we came through, by using one of these keys," I suggest. "I believe, I do, but I don't have the equipment with me, unfortunately. It's been a long time...I may have forgotten." Edited June 23, 201212 yr by Palathadric

"I believe, I do, but I don't have the equipment with me, unfortunately. It's been a long time...I may have forgotten." "Good idea. Perhaps we can find the equipment behind one of the doors."
June 23, 201212 yr Author There are 2 doors to the left of yours: left middle and left top. What door would the party look to enter?"
June 23, 201212 yr Author Monk pretzel tries Key 1. it fails, but Key -1 works and shatters. Apparently, this is an optional room. Would the party like to head inside? And if so, will they prepare?
June 23, 201212 yr "My spear thirsts for blood! I will avenge myself by killing the murderous Proggs!" Erik roars. "Oh, and thanks for the heal and loot, Sir." Of course I would like to head inside!
