 
 _setting_name Alchemists bedroom, Inside Tower 
 _setting_desc This room holds a small bed, a table and several work benches. More flasks, beakers, candles, alembics, decanters, herbs, kettles, and the like may be found. Several books of forbidden lore sit upon the table. A circle, nine feet across and adorned with words of power is etched into the floor. 
 _partner_name an assistant 
 _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 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 glass : The glass is dirty and appears to not have been washed in quite a while 
 _object_desc a tunic : The tunic has a hole in it, though only someone observant would notice. 
 _object_desc a Family Photo : this photo looks so perfect. 
 _self_say My young assistant! If you would like to become my apprentice you will need to watch very carefully when I make these potions. 
 _partner_say I'm sorry, I'm so distracted. Everyone keeps pressuring me about the wolf hunt and I can't concentrate. Now, what's the next step for this potion? 
 _self_say Do not be sorry young one! You must always be paying attention when are you making these pots! Next, we will add poison ivy herb to the flask. 
 _partner_say Poison ivy? Perhaps I should use some gloves! Is this to be an itching potion? 
 _partner_emote frown 
 _self_say Perhaps you should. I learned all these methods from the forbidden lores that sit upon this table. But as my master once said, it is better to learn the ways from watching rather than reading! 
 _partner_say Is this the family you intend to curse with your potion? 
 _partner_act give Family Photo to alchemist 
 _self_act give glass to an assistant 
 _self_say Yes indeed. That is the family that is responsible for the mass fraud carried out in this rich city! We must get rid of them once and for all! We must portion our potions very wisely with these glass jars. 
 _partner_say What will this purple, goopy potion do to them? And how do I get them to drink it? 
 _partner_emote frown 
 _self_act put Family Photo in small wooden bowl 
 _self_say This potion we have created will make the family unable to speak or hear anymore! My dear assistant, we will not need to get them to drink it. All we have to do is pour the potion in a bowl with the picture. Then we chant the witches witchcraft song.
