Zavier takes his time during the lull in between getting back to the fort and receiving the funds to build their town to concentrate on his much neglected SCIENCE. He spends the time instructing Frackalackin in the ways of Alchemy and how to make s~@% blow up
and other time dissecting the small fireworks that the Mites use in order to understand their workings
During breaks in between building his new laboratory, Zavier will ask his new assistant for a sample of their ingenious alchemical device. Provided that he gets one, he will then take a break to examine it in passing but not enough to set back the construction of the new lab. Diplomacy to get him to actually give me a sample
Craft Alchemy for the examination
EDIT: mistyped the Diplomacy roll in the first post
Once they get back to Oleg's, Zavier quickly begins construction on his new laboratory using surrounding trees for lumber and his carpentry tools to make a plain, unassuming 10 X 15 single story wooden building complete with a pen on the side for his pigs. It will be positioned to the back left of the trading post...near the bodies... Craft Carpentry check (w/ crafter's fortune and Masterwork tools)
Handle Animal for the pigs to usher them to the new pen
He also sets down some rules for his new companion while he is at the outpost. 1. No killing or harming humanoids or Mandy without direct consent of one of the party
Zavier attempts to convince the mite that following these rules are imperative to the mite's survival and would hold back their progress for making bigger boomsticks. He then attempts to impress the need for science not to hampered by such events in a long ranting speech. er... Let's go with Diplomacy?
Zavier waves at Tathar, laughs at Kesten,and proceeds into his lab. Zavier spends the 4 days crafting a whole bunch of crap, training pigs, and teaching Mandy the meaning of life. I'll do the crafting rolls in a different post since it might take multiple. Training Pigs:
Stay
Teaching Mandy the meaning of life...not really sure what you would want for this one so I'll add the bonus later.
"and pigs! don't forget about the pigs!"
Before grabbing his equipment Zavier approaches the messenger. He looks him over and says to him "Yes...Yes..Patient has made a full recovery. Very nice...Good work my good man." He then proceeds to shake his hand and walk over to check the equipment.
MJ: Sometime before the egg hatches and before the supplies arrive. Zavier looks at the egg and decides to do a little... experiment. He gathers some ingredients , drinks a potion of Crafter's fortune, and sees what he can make...
He takes:
and he burns a stick of incense for good measure He spends a good amount of time combining these together to see what he can make...you know...for science... Throughout the day whoever passes by the lab hears mad laughter coming from the lab and smells the scent of progress...which oddly smells very nice. p.s. I have no idea where you want to go with this. and a Craft roll if you need it.
He rushes back into the bar to make more Alchemist's Kindness with what he got out of the forest...and once he is out he goes back out there to collect more ingredients and then a couple more for supplies to make the following items.
Alchemist's Kindness
Incense
Repellent, Vermin
He repeats this cycle until the order comes in or something happens
Zavier takes a couple days to set up his lab, grabs some stuff from the surrounding area, and start crafting. Knowledge(nature)
Alchemist's Kindness
Zavier spends the night at the outpost studying the journal and the spellbook.. for science of course...
A day after the party arrives at the trading post, Zavier gives Oleg a list of items to procure for him. He chooses this time not to waste a precious squirrel brain. List of Epic Procurement: Alchemist's Laboratory Carpentry Tools Wrist Sheath (spring-loaded)X2 pigs(live) X3 Salt (1 lb) Whiskey (6 pack)
A couple hours after getting to the outpost, Zavier calls the party together. He then proceeds to plop the loot they have acquired over their travels on the table in order to figure out how to divide it. The Treasures have been sorted and neatly labeled into three piles: Magic Items
Mundane Items
Important crap
Zavier sighs and downs an aqua coloured potion he pulls from his satchel. Turning to the rest of the group, he says "Unfortunately I have some...SCIENCE to take care of so I must take leave of this exploration for a while. But if you have need of some alchemical services I will be at the outpost doing...experiments" , as Zavier looks as the mite. With that he casually tosses two potions at Leroy ( one cure light and one shield of faith +2) and goes on his merry way humming to himself a song that seems oddly familiar to some... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUhOnX8qt3I
While exploring near the compound, Zavier suddenly scrambles off Archimedes and darts into a group of flowers. He reappears, beaming, holding a single purple flower in his hands. "This my friend is the Blue Dragon Flower! When ground up into a paste and digested, it is said to be able to treat almost any type of ache or pain known to man!"
Zavier seems distracted by this dilemma for the rest of the expedition...
During the adventurer's day off, Zavier goes up to one of the corners of the fort and starts to disassemble the catapult with his crowbar. Anybody who passes by can hear the yelling of the alchemist going "Die foul contraption! Your time has come to an end! The time for rebirth is now!" Zavier then sorts through the wood to find the once that are not rotted through (and saves the ones that are for later or reversed depending if he made the check or not) as well as the nails that once held the catapult together. After bringing them down to the front of the door in batches, he begins the task of repairing the fort's doors whispering to himself "I'd like to see those blood-sucking bandits get through my defences now..." The day ends and Zavier steps back to proudly admire his work (whether he actually repaired it or damaged it is up to MJ) and suddenly realized he forgot something. He takes an onion out of his backpack and nails it to the middle of one of the doors. Now satisfied, he heads back inside for some well-deserved (or not so well-deserved) rest |
