Carthyra, after taking a wrong turn in the city, takes several more and somehow winds up at the shop. She walks in and greets her mentor, "Good morning, Sir. Did my tindertwigs solidify properly last night?"

An old man was standing at a table fiddling with ingredients, and talking to himself in an old rough voice "Now where did I put that.. Ah there it is" he took out an old root and started to walk towards his alchemy table. He saw Carthyra "My young precedent. What was that something about your tindertwigs. Yes they came out perfectly, but it did take longer then expected. You learn very quick ." The old man put the root in a bottle of liquid it quickly melted away the root and turning purple. "Oh and where were you earlier you missed your lesson." The old man put the container of liquid down and went to the table where there was a book he read from. "Oh it dose not mater now. Listen the potion I'm working on is a special gift to the king but im missing one ingredient and its a bit far out there. Are you up for a little adventure." The old man looked back to Carthyra with a smile and hardy laugh, then turned back to his book.

"I was hoping they would turn out well. The rich folk tend to pay well for those tindertwigs." Carthyra leans against the counter in her own world for a few moments. Suddenly she snaps back to Valaris with a flurry of questions. "Adventure? Where are we going, sir? Should I bring anything with me?"

"Ha Ha Ha Ha." The old man turns to Carthyra "My young apprentice. I'm to old for travel. This is for you." The old man walks towards an old shelf full of scrolls and books. He skims through them and pulls out two scrolls and walks back to Carthyra. "Here. One is a map of the area, the other is a Description of the material I need. Now you don't need to worry about digging it up just getting it from a miner in Bavaria. His name is Harper. This is just to make sure you don't get cheated out of the ore." The old man went back tot he Alchemy table and continued working. "I also left you one weeks of food supplies on the tale next to the door, but the true question is are you up for the task."

Carthyra takes the scrolls and responds, "I sure am, sir. You'll get your ore for the king in no time!" She fills the straps of her Alchemist's robe with potions, and then she heads over to the table and begins shoving food into her backpack. "I'll try to sell my batch of tindertwigs while I'm there as well. Ooh! Do you think they'd buy some shine water for their rusty stuff? I'll take some of that too!" she adds as she skips carefree out the door toward the mine.

As Carthyra skips care free across town you see several miners coming back from the dig site. At the very end here are two miners helping another injured one into the alchemy of your master. Soon you arive at a small post where the rickety old gate is closed. One of the Guards is asleep in a chair, while the other is whisked away by a tavern wench down a dark ally.

As the miners pass from the digsite, Carthyra holds the three bottles of shine water in front of her. With the other potions strapped to her robe, it is obvious she is an alchemist. She remembers her mentor's sales pitch and does her best to recreate it, "Need to rust from your tools? Rub some shine water on them, leave them overnight, and the rust will disappear. 10 gold each, and a free one to whoever can point me toward a miner named Harper."

miners stop and buy one shine water each. Three of the miners that bought the water left the other started to speak. "Harper. Well your out of luck , there was a cave in at the mine he was at. The injured one you just saw that was Colt, Him Harper and Davidson where caught in that cave in. Harper is stuck on the other side and Davidson dead. There is another way in but its a lot more dangerous. Just east of the mine entrance you'll see a small crack in the wall for a person to fit though." The miner continued to the Alchemy shop with the others.

"A cave in? That's dreadful!"She thinks to herself how she could help him. Standing there looking dumbfounded in the street, suddenly an idea occurs to her. She rushes back to the shop, makes eye contact with her master so he knew she was there trusting he knew the situation with Harper, and goes into the back to brew 5 vials of stonebreaker acid (Arms & Equipment Guide p. 35. Craft DC 20). While there, she puts 20 gold into the shop coffer for the shine water.

(-20 gold for shine water, -50 gold for crafting materials.)

All of the stonebreaker acid come out perfectly. The last one Carthyra makes is so potent it can go through several layers of rock or even melt through a solid block of steel.

(+5 stonebreaker acid )

Carthyra walks hurriedly out of the shop and rushes to the area where the miner spoke of. "Just East of the entrance." She repeats to herself repeatedly on the way to the main mine entrance. She uses the map her master gave her to figure out which way was East using the shop as her reference point. She starts walking East looking for the other entrance.

Carthyra switches a vial of Luminous Water from her backpack with a vial of base acid on her chest straps. She enters the mine.

As Carthyra enter's the mine You can see torch's light the way down two paths one continues east the other west. there is another path strait forward but pick black with no torch's light the way.

(Sight check the dark hall way if you want to go that way.)

Carthyra hurries down the hallway going East away from the main entrance. Every few seconds she calls out Harper's name.

Carthyra hears a person yell back "Hello." As soon as she hears his voice a Gremlin Spider spider appears behind her, and attempts to bite her.
