Re: Adventurer's Forest Chapter 2: Herb Village
So Perc's on too.
As #2403 descends into the basement, Malpercio goes up the stairs two steps at a time, eager to learn more about alchemy.
On the second floor is a room that is completely orange. In the middle is a fox-furry sleeping. Malpercio goes over and pokes the sleeping kitsune.
He wakes up, and introduces himself as Jin, the Alchemist skillmaster. He asks if Malpercio is here to learn alchemy. Malpercio nods his head eagerly.
Jin sits up. "Well, then. Let's start."
He hands Malpercio two stone bottles and three white herbs.
He looks at Malpercio. "Well? What are you waiting for?"
Perc stares at him.
Jin stares back. "Ah, right, you don't know any recipes."
He hands Perc a slip of paper.
He stares at Perc, waiting.
Perc sighs, and asks him what this paper is.
"That is a recipe."
Perc says he can see that; it is a recipe for white chocolate.
Jin explains. "Most alchemists write their research in code, so no one can steal their work. For some reason when they sell their recipes they like to leave them undecoded.
He looks at the recipe in Perc's hand.
----------------------------
White Chocolate
Pour an entire bag of white chocolate chips into a bowl, then microwave the bowl. Put the melted chocolate onto a tray, and wait until it is solid. Serve on one stone plate.
----------------------------
Jin speaks up. "See the white chocolate chips? What type of herb would correspond to those?"
Perc begins to speak, but Jin interrupts him. "Correct, a white herb. Now, if the recipe called for more than one bag, you would use that many herbs. The same is with the stone tray - it is similar to a stone bottle, if not exactly the same."
Jin tells you that you can make a recipe at any time by saying so. A good suggestion would be to say "Recipe: whatever". You could specify ingredients or the recipe name.
Now, Jin asks you to make the recipe he gave you.
EDIT: I believe I can pull that off, Dunc. I'll try that.
