Von Kreutzdorf Requests for August 1214

Ladies and Gentlemen of Travance,

Von Kreutzdorf's Apothekarium introduces a new line of potions for your consumption. These recipes, recovered from ancient tomes from the First Age, are more powerful than your average alkhemist can create. The benefits of these augmented potions, known as Flasks, are listed below:

Flask of Strength enhances your physical strength making you stronger than the average human.
Flask of Defense increases the body's endurance to match that of an average ogre.
Flask of Healthfulness increases the body's endurance by a full ten percent
Flask of Efficiency brings out your innate power in a more flowing motion, providing a more proficient casting or crafting.
Flask of the Screaming Death allows communication during both serious and critical injury
Flask of Mental Resistance lessens mental effects to last ½ the time and ½ the mental damage
Flask of Speed allows all movement abilities to be increased by a full half
Flask of Accuracy adds two dagger strikes of damage to all physical ranged attacks

The additional benefit of these Flasks is that the effects last the entirety of the Baronial Feast, not fading after a few minutes like many alkhemikal creations. Note though that while the effects are powerful, the ingredients used within each separate Flasks recipe do not combine well, so only a single Flask may be consumed during a Baronial Feast. To consume a second Flask will gain you no benefit and may result in intestinal distress. The cost of a Flask at the moment is 20 gold pieces. The increased cost from normal potions is due to both the length of time the Flask lasts as well as the larger amount of time and effort necessary to produce them.

Additionally, as I try to do before every time I attend the Feast, I put up this missive to give my loyal customers a chance to let me know ahead of time what their various alkhemikal needs are prior to the Feast.

Please either write your order at the bottom of this parchment or send to me a private letter detailing your requirements.

Also, if you do place an order, seek me out to collect it. I am very busy and cannot always track you down. I am usually in the Dragon's Claw Inn at Market Faire.

Sincerely

I should like a flask of strength if you will.

Wotcher Mister Von Kreutzdorf,

If it's no bother, do you suppose you'd be able to prepare two vials of your adhesive formula on my behalf? We've rather a lot of experimentation to carry out over the next few weeks, and I expect that having some on-hand will prove invaluable for those fleetingly rare occasions that we experience catastrophic percussive failure.

... On second thought, perhaps I ought to request a few sachets of your restorative smelling salts, too. Thankyou very much, Mister Von Kreutzdorf, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
