Good evening, Tones of Symphony.
If you are reading this, then you have obtained knowledge of my apothecary on the highest branch of the Natural Refrain
Visit it if you wish, but visit during the night, and be not afraid of the spirits that haunt, nor the draughts that are brewed.
Those willing to show their faces to the night and wish for concoctions of old and new, continue to read on. All others that fear the moon's light, cast this advertisement aside and think never again of Hemlocke and his potions[/center][/size]
-Posion Flask-[/font][/size]
The most basic and versatile of potions to make. Toxins from common toadstools and herbs are liquefied and distilled into natural spring water, depending the client's preferred potency. It could be made to 100% poison, enough to kill any man and a large variety of monsters, or it could be made to have barely any poison, which the side effects would be a stomach ache at the most. It can also be applied to weapons to infect horrid wounds on the victims.WARNING![/color] Due to lack of testing on monsters, and ethics and morals of mankind, this potion has not been fully tested to it's extent, so caution is strongly recommended when handling this potion.[/size]
-Paralysis Powder-[/font][/size]
The silvery-yellowish dust that is stored in a special sack. The sack's thread is thick enough so that the smooth dust does not escape or spread when not wanted to. Coming from specific poisons found throughout the immediate surroundings of Symphony. They are ground into a fine dust which when mixed with some sap and paste from the Refrain itself, makes the smooth texture that it has. Caution is required when handling this powder, as the excessive numbing that it causes lasts for near twenty-four hours. Not deadly, however, as the powder is nullified by internal acids and chemicals, so lungs and organs would not be affected, but the dermal layer of the skin is highly volatile to the powder, making contact with it the only option of effective use.
-Vigor Spirit-[/font][/size]
For ages 21 and up... Legally, for ages 21 and up. The Vigor Spirit is concocted with Whiskey brewed within the apothecary and along with distilled roots of edible and hardy plants found around Soprano. Diluted with the same spring water, which dwindles the horrid flavor, the potion takes effect as soon as it reaches the stomach. It reacts with the acids to stimulate enzymes within the body to speed up the healing process by a substantial amount. The immediate effects of the potion cause slight dizziness for only around a minute, but as soon as the dizziness fades, the healing effects take place. Great for viruses and also facilitates scarring and abrasion heals, meaning open wounds close faster, heal faster and blood is also created faster. The potion is simply a health potion that makes you feel better, after the slight side effects, of course.
-Nightmare-[/font][/size]
The subtle name of this gaseous bottle speaks for itself. It is also the most tedious and arduous adherent to produce, taking up to a week to get the correct amount of ingredients and even then, up to four more days to produce the desired effect. When inhaled, the reaction of the gases with oxygen produce an painstakingly horrible hallucination. It is combined my burning the commonly found drugs in the nearby vicinity, where they combined gases are caught and bottled and mixed with some poisonous powders ground from some herbs found in other recipes. It causes no physical damage, but psychological damage is abundant. However, the effects only take place when the body goes into slumber, thus the same name is given. The gas is odorless, but very visible with a reddish maroon tint, and should always be tightly sealed in a bottle. Once released, even the smallest intake of the gas can cause some form of effect on the body.**
**please return all results to Hemlocke within a few days of using this remedy/adherent. Results are still being tested and input is always welcome.
Along with the above specialties, here are a few things that are more commonly created and easier to produce:
- Smokescreens - when the capsule collapses, the compressed air and gas is released. Jet black, but can also be dyed other colors. Once time use, and completely harmless.
- Energy Drinks - By simply grinding common powders and diluting them in water can a very basic energy drink be made. It wakes the body and senses up and is commonly used m=by students during finals week.
- Perfumes/Colognes - Certain scents can be made by liquefying herbs and flowers then distilling them in water. If a certain scent is requested, it can very easily be obtained, if asked politely and with extra pay for the extra work.
-X-On one final note, if anyone reading this and would like to volunteer to venture into the Miasma in search of new herbs, or testing concoctions on the monsters in the wild, please contact Hemlocke, located in house number 840, upon the highest branch of the Natural Refrain.-X-
Hemlocke, the Master Apothecary.
