Adventures in Fellneral

"I suppose I will follow you all to the tavern. But I'm not looking for more ale before returning to the ship again." Ghathi says to the group.  He will follow along with the others, keeping an eye out for trouble. (Perception: 18)

Orin, who has been subdued for most of the trip seems to perk up a bit at the mention of a drink. "Finally something interesting"

A nearby tavern, a sign naming it "Hazvuld's" it looks less run down than most other buildings in this area. As you walk toward it, you see a half elf shouting and pointing to random people in the crowd  "This potion is something any respected adventurer wants to have!" 

"That's us, we're respected adventurers, we must have that potion." Tom cheerfully says to the others.

Ghathi shakes his head. "Let's see what it is first. I'm not holding out much hope."  He would follow Tom over to the half-elf.

Osborn tries to goad the prospective salesperson with a suspicious cocked eyebrow "Hmmm, I've worked for many an apothecary and I'm not sure I believe you, fair elf.  Convince us!"

"A critic!" The elf exclaims, "Well then, I can, but I will need a volunteer. Any one wants to make an easy gold." He pulls out a gold piece and starts fiddling with it.

Osborn's demeanour sours a little: "In my experience sir, easy rewards tend to carry a great price"

Osborn can you make a persuasion check

Ghathi jumps in, agreeing with Osborn. "Yes, I would be wary of what this volunteer might be subjected to."

Orin seeing the gold and no one else seeming to want to take it will step up to the half elf.

"I'll take that gold." 

"Ah, see, someone has their finances in order," He gives a smug look at Ghathi and Osborn and pulls out a potion from his coat. "What I am standing on weighs two hundred pounds, but with this potion, anybody can lift it with ease." He then looks at Orin and hands him the potion. 

(I think Osborn missed his chance by being glib, but just in case: Persuasion 24 )

Orin will look at the potion, what does he see.

Perception: 11

The potion is a swirling mixture of red and orange, you think you can maybe see some sort of herb in there as well.

Orin shrugs and downs the potion

Orin, you don't feel any different.

"Now," he hops of a soapbox he was standing on "This is box with heavy metals," he kicks it visibly hardly, and it doesn't budge, "But with this potion of strength, you just consumed, he should be able to lift it with ease." He gestures towards Orin, "care to try?"

Orin spits into his hands, for dramatic effect, then will attempt to lift the box. 

(strength check?? 23)

(oof awesome roll lol advantage maybe from the potion lol)

Can everyone make a perception check.

Orin, you struggle a bit to lif tthe box, then you notice the half elf twirl his hand subtly and you lift the box with ease. The crowd begins gasp, and some start approaching the elf to but his products
