Kestrell turns to Derrick and points to the flyer advertising a way to earn money : "Tell me Verda, how much money can we earn by sampling new potion recipes?"
"The old gnome laughs, I'm sorry friend, but I'm not Verda. She's in the back. My name's Derrick. She pays 2 silver to drink a potion. If you die, she'll pay to have you brought back.
What sort of potions are you looking to buy? And how many? She may have some nearly expired ones in the back that we can sell a bit cheaper."
Elon sits next to Selinae out side the home. "How are you feeling?"
He looks down in regret "sorry we didn't stop him"
" Its ok....you tried your best. Sorry I cost you guys all your savings. I still feel like I'm going to topple over any minute but I think I'm getting there.""
" I'm just really worried about my mum. She walks a lot by herself looking for inspiration for her paintings and she's not exactly a fighter."
" Oh!! I should ask her to do some paintings for the manor! Maybe portraits of us? A group portrait!! Nah....probably landscapes for the bar."
Derrick leans back in his chair and bangs on the wall behind him "Got two out here willing to test a few potions for ya!" A few moments latter a middle aged human woman walks out and sets two potions on the counter and then grabs a clipboard and appears ready to notate what happens. "If you would, one of you at a time so that I can keep up. Who wants to go first?"
As you look at the potions you see:
A square glass bottle with an oily dark gray potion in it. As you look closer you see flecks of color and there appears to be some type of gore from a slain creature.
A square glass bottle with an airy, bubbly, orange potion in it that appears to be constantly moving and shifting.
If you choose the gray potion, read this:
As you drink this potion you realize it tastes like gold but also minty. As soon as you finish drinking the potion you feel sad... and things are starting to grow. No, that's not right. You're shrinking. By the time you realize it you're half the size you were when you started. All of your clothes and armor appear to have shrunk with you, thankfully.
Roll 1d4 to see how many hours this effect will last.
If you choose the orange potion, read this:
As you drink this potion you realize it tastes like a mix of paint and old fruit, however you feel quite refreshed after drinking it. Unfortunately you realize you've lost your sense of smell.

"That's a great idea. I think everyone would like that" he places a firm hand on her arm and smiles.

" Ugh.....I don't like being so woozy all the time. Remind me not to die again.", she said grinning weakly.
" I wonder if Kestrell has driven Phaedra crazy yet? He's a daft old bugger....but I feel sad for him and what he's lost."

Kestrell yelps as he realizes that he is small.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING?!? I haven't been this size since I was a boy! Phaedra?!? Help!"
The lady with the clipboard is scribbling furiously. Without looking up she starts asking questions. "Very interesting. Tell me, how do you each feel right now? Yes very interesting indeed. Also, are either of you experiencing any non-visible effects?"
"Kestrell! KESTRELL! By Mystra, what have you done to him! He's... a little boy...ohh... hahahah. Ohhh no, I mean bad. That's bad. He's now shark snake size! Ohh.... how do I feel? Well I feel" she breaths in deeply. "I feel great! But what about Kestrell. How long will he stay like a little child."
Ohh wow... his size now match his mental level... childish.... hahahah she thinks to herself.
"I think we have definitely earned one of those potions of water breathing at the very least. You have put him in danger. He's an adventurer and fighter of crime. Crime can now... well it will squish him. Look at baby Kestrell"
Kestrell looks at Phaedra, horrified. "Am I that small?!?" As someone who has always prided himself and taken satisfaction in the fact that he is slightly taller and stronger than the average human, this terrifies him.
"How do I feel? Not very good, that's how! Does it wear off? Is it permanent? This potion not only shrunk me, it makes me fearful too! And why is my voice so high?!? EGADS!"
He's too upset to think of it now, but this shrinking potion could get all of us into the magic submersible.
The strange lady just keeps taking notes while mumbling to herself, "Looks like a 50% reduction in size, amazing. Including weapons and armor, fantastic!" Phaedra's questions get her attention finally, "How long? I don't know. If you could stay here until it wears off I could give you an extra silver though. It shouldn't be more than a few hours. What's that, earned a potion of water breathing? How so, you've only done as was agreed upon."
Derrick draws the lady into the back room where you can hear them talking but not what they're saying. He walks back out with three dusty looking potion vials in hand. "These water breathing potions are several years old. Sometimes age does weird things to magical potions, it could strengthen or weaken them." He sets them on the counter. The woman follows behind and asks, "Are you willing to stay until the potion wears off?"
If you agree to stay:
"Good." she says while picking up her clipboard. The next couple hours proceeds at a snails pace with her occasionally asking "Are you feeling any different yet?" and "How are you feeling now?" After Kestrell changes back she continues to pepper him with questions and examines his gear to ensure there was no damage. "Thank you for helping advance our knowledge of potion-craft." and she turns and heads into the back of the store.
If you refuse to stay:
The lady removes one of the three potions vials from the counter. "Derrick is too generous by far." Motioning to the two vials still on the counter, "That is overpaying you by half but it will do."
As you leave the shop Derrick calls out, "Be sure to shake those vigorously before drinking them!"

"Two silver?!? We need 400 gold, my man!"
"Rick, we are looking to breath underwater. What kind of deal can we get on some nearly expired ones?"
"Also, get Vera out here with an experimental potion. I'm feeling lucky."
"How about you, Phaedra?"
"Ahhh... well I could try one? Mystra grant me true sight."

Seeing the gore in the dark grey potion bottle Phaedra grabs the orange one before Kestrell had a chance and downs it with one gulp.

"Well, I guess that leaves me with this one."

"Yes, I'm not leaving until this wears off!"
After an hour, Kestrell calms down and answers her questions as best as he can.
He sighs with relief when he returns to normal size. And also checks his equipment for damage. Is there any?
"Hey Phae, I don't want to do that again, but should we get some of these shrinking potions so that we can all fit in the underwater boat thing?"
OOC: Do we have to pay for the dusty underwater breathing potions?
OOC: No damage to equipment. The three dusty potions are offered as payment in lieu of the 2 silver.
Also, when you take those potions you'll need to roll 2d100 to see how many minutes they'll last.

Phaedra sits down and taps her fingers as she waits for the potion to wear off.
Once it has she stands and takes the potions bottles. "Come on Kestrell, we need to hurry back."

"Should we buy some of the shrinking potions so that we can all fit in the underwater boat?"
Phaedra glares at him and whispers. "We don't have any more money on us or the time to wait again. We are on a very tight deadline, remember?"
