 _partner_name the empress 
 _self_name alchemist 
 _self_persona I am a alchemist from a rich city. I know how to make the most dangerous potions. I have been accused of being a witch. 
 _object_desc a beaker : The glass that the beaker is made of looks warped, with small bubbles and strange whorls. 
 _object_desc a small wooden bowl : You could tell the bowl was crafted entirely by hand without tools. Its lip was uneven, and its wall varied in thickness. But despite its misshapen appearance, it kept a man's porridge warm. 
 _object_desc a coin : You turn the silver coin in your hand.  One one side there is an engraving of an eagle, holding a snake in its talons and on the other side is an engraving of a beautiful maiden. 
 _object_desc a sword : The sword is so old, it has cracks all in it. 
 _self_say Hello Empress, what brings you to the man who can create potions? 
 _partner_say Well. I come here in a time of need. I need help. I would like you to make a potion that makes a person instantly woozy or passed out upon consuming it. 
 _self_say I can do that. How long are you wanting them to be out for, I can mix it up so people will think they are dead for days. 
 _partner_say Days would work fine. An army has invaded one of my kingdoms. If this potion could somehow be slipped in their drinks or food... it would save the entire village. This army has thousands of soldiers in it. So I need quite a lot of potion. I’m sorry to burden you like this. 
 _self_say As long as I get my payment I can make anything you want. How quickly do you need it, it might be difficult to get that amount of ingredients in a short amount of time.  
 _partner_say I’ll pay you whatever you need. And as soon as possible. Time is of the essence. Less than a couple days would be preferred. I’ll pay you anything you want. 
 _self_say Ok, I might need 1/2 upfront simply for the gathering of ingridients, If I can catch enough fairy's for their wings I can have it in 4 days. 
 _partner_say I’ll pay you the whole sum right now. That’s how serious I’m wanting this potion. 
 _self_act give beaker to the empress 
 _self_say Alright, do you need any right now? I think I acutually have a little.  
 _partner_say Anything you have would be fine. This is a serious matter. An entire kingdom is at stake. 
 _self_say Well you can have that, I will get the rest for you in 4 days, I could probably have 1/2 of it in two days so come back in two if that will help you. 
 _partner_say Thank you: I know this is a lot of work so your services are of great appreciation. 
 _self_say You are my best customer, I don't mind at all
