OMETOTCHTLI

[soulping]

[you’re ushered into doors that appear in the roots of Otto’s trees. The room is similar to last time - small, but with enough chairs for your entire team to sit down, and a table at the center. There's also a few, small beds, should anyone feel sick enough that they have to lay down.

On the table is another cardboard box, similar to last time as well. Only this time when you peer in, there’s a myriad of different herbs and other things. Otto’s voice echoes into the room with his usual, bored tone]

Last time,you cared for a friend of mine. This time, you’ll care for you and yours.

ROUND 1

[soulping]

[a list of ingredients suddenly appears on the table in front of the box:]

red sap	ginko
pine tar	elderberry
charcoal	oranges
magnesium oxide	echinacea
red nettles	andrographis
waybread	eleuthero
feverfew	garlic
mugwort	mushrooms
betony	astragalus
lamb’s cress	bell peppers
plaintain	turmeric
mayweed	cat’s claw
nettle	ginger
crab apple	thyme
ganoderma	fennel

In order for one to create an antidote, they must first acquire the items necessary, but given your . . . conditions . . . I've done that part for you. It took so much effort . . .

You may choose up to nine on the list. But choose wisely.

ROUND 2

[soulping]

[once you've chosen the ingredients you wish to use, everything in the box disappears, only to be replaced with six bottles of different liquids. Another list replaces the first one:]

tannic acid	soap
water	ginseng
apple juice	olive oil

You cannot simply mix what you've chosen together and hope for the best. No, there are other requirements before you're complete.

Choose up to two bottles on the list. And remember: choose wisely.

ROUND 3

[soulping]

[again, the bottles disappear, this time replaced with different things one may find in a kitchen. The list has also been replaced:]

mortar and pestle
blender
pot
tea kettle

Now that you're ready, you may mix together what you've chosen. But for the different ingredients you've chosen, different tools must be used.

You may choose one of the items in the box.

So we are to make antidotes for whoever is sick...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

Oh man. This is some weird shit.

Re: DISCUSSION

[imaginechange]

It looks like it... Most of them seem to be good for different types, huh?

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

I don't really know about any of this stuff. Aren't most of them things you put on food?

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

I am afraid I am not terribly familiar with these things either.

We are allowed to ask him questions, correct?

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

Yeah, we should do that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[imaginechange]

I don't know a lot of them but all kinds of plants are good for medicines. Like I know nettles is good for fevers... But that's one of the only ones I know.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

We can include that in our choice, then. We merely have to figure out what others we can use as well.

Charcoal... should be good for cleaning out wounds, or sterilizing them, is it not? I believe I have read that somewhere.

Re: DISCUSSION

[imaginechange]

We could figure out which ones we might know and then ask...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

[nods]

Yes. Oranges have vitamins and... I believe ginger is good for this as well? But beyond that I am not certain.

Re: DISCUSSION

[imaginechange]

Cat's Claw and thyme, I think...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

We really should ask, I haven't heard of a lot of these things. What the hell is lamb's cress? Mugwort?

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

Nettles, charcoal, oranges, ginger, cat's claw and thyme... are there any others that stand out? We'd need three more...

Though charcoal is good for sterilizing wounds, it also helps against stomach sickness... since that is what we are faced with.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

I am all right with asking. But what exactly should we ask?

Re: DISCUSSION

[imaginechange]

Maybe ginko...? But those are the only ones that seem really familiar for something.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

Aah. Perhaps we can ask him if the ones we've picked will be useful together?
