Apothecaria - Spring, Week 1

Client:  Henry the Jeweler

Affliction:  Cludgie Mouth - curse ★, infection ★

                    curse from a bog goblin - Henry's mouth reeks like a tavern privy!!

I need to make sure and not take longer than six ticks or Henry will go to the village doctor which will lose me a reputation point.

Needed Reagents:

Ghost Goo ★★★  - found in the dungeon in Hero's Holler - this is a magic item with a forage value of 6 (Serena changes this to 3) - will remove curses

Silverleaf ★ - found in the dungeon in Hero's Holler - this is a plant with a forage value of 4 - this will heal the infection caused by the curse

I traveled to Hero's Holler but on my journey I fell down a smooth stone chute and slid into an ancient looking door.  There was a sign above the door that said I had to earn my entry into the dungeon by picking the lock.  I sure am glad that my trouble maker brother taught me to pick locks when we were kids!  I didn't have a full pick set with me but the lock was such a simple one that a couple of my hair pins did the trick.  Upon entering the dungeon several torches on the wall lit themselves - almost like they were glad to see me.  I found the Ghost Goo slimed on a rock just inside the door.  Upon reflection I should not have been able to gather this item without a wand but it slid very easily into the vial regardless of this fact - curious but I should probably refrain from gathering magic items without a wand in the future - magic has a way of balancing the scales at some point.  The Silverleaf was easily found in the shade just outside the courtyard door.  Henry told me that he was expecting a very important client that afternoon so rather than search for other items for later use I returned back to my cottage immediately.  

I boiled the Ghost Goo in my cauldron and added the crushed Silverleaf to the resulting slimier than it started liquid.  I apologized to Henry because I had no idea how this was going to taste.  He said surprisingly it tasted a little like the porridge his dearly departed mother used to make for him.  Hmmm...wonder if that is a side effect of magical reagents?  The effect was almost instant and Henry was very pleased.  He paid me 20 silver and I earned one reputation point.
