How long have we been at the mansion? I also need to discuss what the DMs expectations are for brewing a healing potion; there isn't clear guidance RAW. Other than it takes a day and 25gp
(I'd estimate you've been in the mansion for two hours. Feel free to disagree, time is pretty subjective. As for brewing a healing potion, that's a good question. I think the RAW guidance is actually pretty clear; this article gives a nice explanation citing both DMG and the revised XGtE rules. However, the article also gives a nice alternative system that I'm more inclined to use. It requires a slot for Cure Wounds, time to take a long rest, and a number of material components. Doing this during an adventure, I'd say you could create one potion at your level. Given how much more onerous the RAW rules are and that you can't even create one until level 3, I think that's pretty reasonable. That being said, if you think about it, is there any reason that the party can't simply take a short or long rest?)

"A nice bedroom... with a bed that will attack you if you lay in it!" says Syd, smiling.
'Then I hope for your sake that the furniture repairs itself like the kitchen restocks itself each night.' Mohdrak remained stoic but with the barest hint on a smile. The eyebrow had fallen back to its original position. The minotaur took one last glance over his shoulder at the diagrams.
'Pretty ingenious, if you ask me.' He pointed at certain points on the wall. 'This system is devised to blend might and magic. I'm not sure if it's more like a failsafe to fall back on martial prowess after all the big spellslinging or, more astounding to imagine, to seamlessly weave weapon and spell together. Like some... spellsword. Bladecaster. Martial magic artist.'
He shrugged. 'Not something for me, though. It uses staves and daggers and leans more into agility than pure power but the concept is fascinating. I would be hesitant to meet the one who has mastered this art of combat in the ring of battle.'
The minotaur withdrew his attention from the diagrams and picked in on the other topic. 'Have we been here that long? Feels only like two or three hours or so. Granted, most of the time I was in the kitchen and I can easily lose track of time while cooking. Speaking from experience.'He concluded with a smirk.
Cerlinde will take two of the daggers in the room. She says “these techniques are amazing- I really must remember them. Perhaps I can make a copy of these diagrams given enough time later”. (Is there more to explore here, or shall we continue on- and maybe find a place to rest?)
Dyumi will hold on to the potion and take 6 HP from the shared healing, if nobody else needs it more.
"Y'know, this is a mansion, so it probably has a nice bedroom upstairs. Anyone else feel like a rest?"
(My ability can only heal you to half health so apply it before any other healing. I see your health is at 4/10 unless you haven't applied your healing word yet. )

I was working on XGE rules (I didn't see the level requirement). I think that's fair; I figured you would make me roll for ingredients from the kitchen or Mohdrak's herb pouch, spend a long rest and tax me my GP. ( I would do that in my campaign)
" you know I think we have only been here 2-3 hours also. I'm still okay to press on a bit. I can also go front of the line if you like; I'm squishy underneath this armour for sure, but that's why I wear such heavy duty gear (AC 18). Just promise me you will come in swords swinging after I get attacked haha, I'm not fond of dying despite my deity...."
Wiggling his fingers Ollezall will ask if anyone else needs a top up to half health, and will also offer healing potions or more powerful divine magic to anyone more seriously hurt. " I will need longer rest to regain energy for my divine magic, but I'll freely give it to anyone wounded. I still have enough for one more powerful spell. "
"On the subject; Kelemvor gave me inspiration during prayer for a new type of spell named saucy speech. I only received this after meeting you all. Kelemvor delivers guidance on spells that would be helpful to the party, but I am wondering who in the group would benifit from me 'talking nasty' to them haha, anyone want to out themselves?"

(Based on the alternative rules I cited, if you want to take the long rest, spend the gold, use any healing spell, and find that special ingredient that's not in your herbalism kit, go for it. The ingredient would not be in the kitchen. However, I'm sure you can come across useful ingredients for a magical potion somewhere in this mansion!)
Dyumi will hold on to the potion and take 6 HP from the shared healing, if nobody else needs it more.

Ok then, dyumi will take 1 hp to get him to half health

Mohdrak chimed in on all the healing talk. 'Nah, I'm good. Thanks for the offer. Might want to work on your bedside manners though.' He had enough experience with healers and clerics to know that not all of them had the grace and tact of a concerned mother offering you chicken soup. But still, saucy speech?
'So what's the plan?' He rolled his shoulder to limber up a bit from wearing chain mail. 'I'm up for exploring the manor some more. Anyone else?'
While Syd does like to think of himself as a progressive barbarian, he's not quite ready to have a handsome male aasimar whispering innuendoes in his ear.
"Yes, more exploring!" he says as he maneuvers to have Mohdrak between him and the saucy cleric.

* Pulls shocked face* I don't want to get saucy with anyone!! Haha.
Ollezall, still under the impression Syd is the culprit for Kelemvor's strange sauce inspired healing, winks and says " your secret is safe with me" before continuing on with exploring the mansion.

(Quick summary of exploration thus far... you've hit everywhere on the lower level, on the middle level you're currently on there is only an arboretum left all the way back down the hall past the dining room, and there is the upper level, which you haven't visited.)
Syd's wounds have mostly closed, leaving him only with minor cuts and scrapes at the moment.

"Mhm, you're right. better not try that, then."

Looking uncomfortable, Syd surreptitiously begins to inch further away from Ollezall. "Uh, no thanks," he mumbles with a weak smile.

Thinking of all the smut Syd has been looking for in the library, Ollezall thinks he found the culprit.... :)
But also, maybe Syd is freaking out that I worship death? Might need clarity...
(I saw it in my spell list and was like, hell no, I'm not saying raunchy things to heal people haha. It would be entertaining though ).
Edit: I just re-read the description and a material component is actual sauce, so it may be food related, not '50 shades of grey matter' related
Mohdrak chimed in on all the healing talk. 'Nah, I'm good. Thanks for the offer. Might want to work on your bedside manners though.'
He had enough experience with healers and clerics to know that not all of them had the grace and tact of a concerned mother offering you chicken soup. But still, saucy speech?

“yes- let’s see what else is here-and find more of those mysterious books” says Cerlinde

EVERYONE!
Saucy speech is unofficial material, and is a homebrew spell, made by me for craps and giggles for my sauce cult! (TLDR you probably shouldnt use it)
