Jwee nods his head as the gnome explains, his whiskers twitching feverishly as he picks up and places objects he finds on the shelves.
"Hmmm, more accurate. Some young'in tried to drinks the potion." Nezu opens his alchemical book and sniffs a page, "Nilasa Hume. Taller than us, young, did something at one of those fancy houses." Nezu waves his cane in an attempt to display how tall the woman was. "Who you makin' these potions for?"
The Shop: Nezu'mi nods his head as she explains the legalities of alchemy. He straightens to his modest height addressing the Gnome "I am quite informed on the legalities of alchemy and I also know of the reputation of..." Nezu waves his arms in a broad sweeping motion, "...Waryeye’s Apothecary." Nezu flashes his identification for the RNC. "You may have heard of me, Nezu'mi Jwee. Resident Master Alchemist of the RNC. Ingredients have been curated from your shop to craft illegal potions in the city. Now I either have reason to believe that you are crafting them, or perhaps a frequent irregular patron. Might your memory serve you to serve me m'lady?" Zezu'mi makes a broad sweeping bow.
Nezu'mi wanders around the shop in Pine Island and makes small talk with the gnome,
Nezu picks up varying ingredients and smells and sniffs them, he keeps his eye out for anything remarkable,
"I have an interest is a particular type of alchemy.... one that might make things not as they seem, or not seen perhaps." Nezu gives the gnome a wink and giggles to himself
Nezu'mi wakes up early and begins his day as normal, reading his textless book. He begins his search at the Northshore then makes his way counter clockwise talking to locals chatting up his usual contacts around the city,
Northshore,
Bosom Strand,
East and West banks,
Pine Island,
Nezu'mi takes his time, paying attention to the smells and sights of the city but makes a point to avoid the Central District... He takes some time out of the day to visit his favorite trinket shops and food vendors, tapping his cane and chattering to himself for most of the day. After leaving the city he makes his way to the Cloudwood and Nettles

Nezu'mi makes his way back to where his colleagues may be conferring, "AHEM.." Nezu'mi taps his cane on the ground rhythmically, "I have not found the source... YET, but with some time in the streets it should be easy enough for me to find the source of our victims cocktail." Nezu'mi chews on something stuffed in his cheek briefly before opening his empty worn journal to an apparent empty page and sniffs it over quickly. He returns his attention to the group, "Anyone care to accompany me?"
"Ahhh, yes... Clever, but who is making this in the city I wonders." Nezu'mi clears his throat obnoxiously and begins to pace, The potion that this girl tried to ingest was merely a potion of..." Nezu'mi mumbles a bit... "invisibility... He addresses his colleagues once more "Some more examination in my laboratory could reveal its specific ingredient... and also which alchemist, if they can even be called that with this humiliating craftsmanship, tried to design this embarrassment!"
Nezu'mi scuttles over and snatches the near empty potion bottle from Abunan's hand, "Give me that before you ruin it!" Nezu'mi hunkers down on his haunches and begins to sniff and test the consistency of the remaining liquid in the vial,
His whiskers twitch in anticipation as he spends some time identifying the remaining liquid. When Nezu'mi is finished he stuffs the vial in some pocket buried within his layers of tattered clothing,
"Simple 'nuff, this potion was a...."
As Nezu'mi sits in the corner thinking he's far more clever than anyone else his ears twitch as he listens to his colleague question Braden and listens to Labrix.
The now larger ratfolk shrugs his shoulders to himself and continues to tinker.
In the time that it took the others to prepare and wrap the body in the shroud Jwee had crafted a Disguise Self self potion and drank it in the corner, hopefully no one really noticed..
Jwee changes his appearance to be approximately 10" taller, his fur to be dark and his clothing to be much more fanciful than before. After finishing his consumption and transformation he mumbles to himself "The rat that goes in, is not the rat that comes out.. heh heh hehhh. Still walking with his cane he follows his colleagues out.
Jwee follows the group to the covered body, ears twitching as he listens to the inquiries and conversations of those around him. As he walks he constantly pulls things out from his pockets to stows them somewhere else. As he approaches the cadaver he pulls the drape off and begins to examine as well.
Jwee looks around at his co workers and the sobbing man. He shrugs stating confidently, "This is in fact a body.." He pokes her legs with a ratty nail, "Pretty fast for little legs.." Moving off to the corner to allow his colleagues to work Jwee pulls several things out of his coat and begins to fiddle and tinker to no purpose.
As the discussion begins between the Officers and Nezu'mi's co workers Jwee scurries passed them on all fours, his ears tracing their conversation. Jwee pulls out a minute hour glass from somewhere inside his coat. He flips it and begins to pace out 40 feet, makes note of the time and repeats, this time at a run on all fours and again makes note of the time.
Gasping and now completely out of breath, "no way, no way it is possible..." Jwee continues his self absorbed experiments for the next few minutes while his team gets information.
@ GMF - are guns common / would the rat know how to use one? Just looking at gear and what the lil rat would have as a ranged weapon after expending bombs. Do you want me to keep track of reagents, vials, etc as part of equipment or just assume that this is part of the loadout all the time? Aaaand should i really be worried about weight of items / are you tracking this.. if so i'll probably have to just grab a handy haversack for most of my stripend.
Nezu'mi Jwee hunches in the corner of the office working on some small project feverishly. His large backpack takes up much of his torso, his long loose fitting coat, pants and shirt are covered in baubles and small vials of what one can only assume to be Alchemical Ingredients, his ears twitch as he listens attentively to the group discuss the events. A small jingle of his earrings the only betrayal that he might actually be paying attention.. "Up.. out.. maybe arms flap hard enough you make it?? Hmmm peculiar..." Jwee spits a small amount of something in his mouth into a vial and it bubbles and releases a fragrant odor... which quickly becomes foul. Jwee hisses his disapointment. "wrong wrong wrong! Cat's Claw, Kelp, Fenugreek, Yarrow! Jwee did it right!" Jwee produces a small plain looking tomb from somewhere inside his coat and begins flipping feverishly through the pages, all of which are empty. After a brief consultation he rises to his meager height, supported by his knotted and gnarled cane. "Ride now in horse boat? Jwee would see the scene, Jwee would like to see the dead."
Pfff, it's obvious who the Face is.
Meant to add the points back in just an oversight thanks for letting me know. Changed my feat to help not destroy the party.
Alright, well the rat is pretty much done and everything added to profile. Still need to write up his background but the core is mostly there. If anyone takes a look and sees any glaring errors let me know, my brain has a bit of information overload at the moment from putting him together.
Not too attracted to the Mind Chemist, but an Investigator seems pretty fun so far! EDIT: As we already have an investigator I'll be going Alchemist. I will have my character rolled by the evening or end of weekend more likely!
Welcome to the team. If you go Alchemist consider Mind Chemist for the Int skills so you can be great investigator. Or go full investigator. Seems like that would fit great here. I'll look into it, thanks for the suggestion!
Hey everyone! I've been invited to join the wide wild world of the Zeitgiest.. I'm going to be playing a Ratfolk something or other... maybe spell caster or maybe an alchemist still trying to figure out what kind of flavor I want to play with. I look forward to joining in on the adventures! edit: maybe some form of rat melee class... TLDR: Some kind of Rat. -paul |
