Potions

Savage Taurus: “So, um, you droods know how to turn into other animals, right? I think I heard 'bout that somewhere.”

Fitheach Eun: “Well, yes we can, there is no reason you cannot learn.”

Fitheach Eun: “OK Savage, come look at this potion recipe.”

Saphira Mistwalker shudders. "Potions, I don't trust them."

Fiesty Lotus: “They kin be tricky.”

Savage Taurus: “So...uh...can you teach me how to turn into animals?”

Fitheach Eun: “Hmmmm, I wonder if a relaxation potion might help.”

Rorn lands on the potion table and starts chewing on an herb.

Fitheach Eun looks at Savage quizzically.

Fitheach Eun: "You seem to have a hard time letting go of things."

Saphira Mistwalker: “Careful what you eat there Rorn, no telling what it could do.”

Careful what you eat there

Fiesty Lotus whispers "A little lavender and some chamomile…"

Savage Taurus: “Like a big, scaly, armored, thing with talons and sharp fangs and a long tail and wings and such?”

Saphira Mistwalker giggles. "Gee, sounds like a dragon."

Fitheach Eun: "Regaining your natural shape will take some work.”

Savage Taurus: “Cause. I want to turn back into that.”

Ron has bits of lavender on his lips and tongue.

Savage Taurus: “Well what can you teach me to turn into?”

Fitheach Eun stifles a smile.

Savage Taurus: “Maybe, if we like broke it down...like maybe a lizard, and a bat, and a snake...I dunno.”

Fitheach Eun: "What do you think Fiesty maybe if we can get him to relax ?"

Savage Taurus: “Or a croc-a-gator.”

Fiesty Lotus: “Weeel, we kin give you four legs fer a start."

Savage Taurus: “That might help. Bein' on two legs still feels weird ta me.”

Fitheach Eun: "But his takes work on your side, Savage; you must become the thing in your mind."

Savage Taurus: “Oh I'm already 'the thing' in ma mahnd.”

Fitheach Eun: "See it, touch it, hold it, be it...it is all up to you."

Rorn notices a cat knocking things off the fireplace mantle. He tries knocking things off the potion table, starting with a bag of ingredients.

Fitheach Eun sighs

Saphira Mistwalker giggles. "Wait, Savage has to work, and think, boy that will be tough."

Savage Taurus: “I jus need a little help, s'all.”

Fitheach Eun: “Well, come over here then.”

Savage Taurus growls at the mouthy wymin folk.

Saphira Mistwalker grins a toothy grin.

Savage Taurus walks over to the table

Fitheach Eun: “This herb is lavender in the bundle here.”

Savage Taurus: “M'kay.”

Fitheach Eun: “Fiesty is the chamomile in the larger bag?”

Fiesty Lotus: “Yes, it is.”

Fitheach Eun: “Ok, first break off the lavender flowers and put them in that pestle there.”

Fitheach Eun: “Then add an equal amount of the chamomile flowers.”

Savage Taurus does as she says, breaking off the flowers and putting them in the pestle.

Savage adds flowers

Fitheach Eun: “Use the mortar and grind them into a powder.”

Savage Taurus: “M'kay”

Savage Taurus starts grinding up the plant bits into smaller plant bits.

Saphira Mistwalker watches curiously.

Fitheach Eun watches closely

Fiesty Lotus reaches in her pouch for bergamot oil.

Fiesty Lotus: "Couple drops of this will help."

Fitheach Eun: “Great idea.”

Savage Taurus sighs to himself and tries to follow the instructions, "What have I come to? My pappy would be so embarrassed."

Fitheach Eun: “When it is all mixed pour it into the pot of spring water.”

Fiesty Lotus  hands the oil to Savage

Fiesty Lotus: "Just a few drops mind."

Just a few drops mind.

Savage Taurus nods and mixes it all in the pot.

Talia.Sunsong: "Do we get to eat this? Does it taste good?"

Savage Taurus: "This better work." he grumbles

Savage Taurus: “So, this will turn me into a great serpent, or a fierce crocodile? Or somethin like that.?”

Fitheach Eun: “No Savage, you will turn you into those things after you relax and concentrate.”

Savage Taurus: "I'm relaxed, I'm relaxed!" he says through gritted teeth.

Saphira Mistwalker mutters under her breath about one-track male dragons.

Fiesty Lotus nods and leaves the table.

Rorn sits on the table and peers into the bowl.

Fiesty Lotus: “You should be good fer this.”

Savage Taurus: “I wouldn't haf ta do this ifin you woulda helped me, Saphira.”

Fiesty Lotus sits down and looks at her book.

Saphira Mistwalker: “Pffft. I told you, shadow dragon magic is inherent, it can't be taught.”

Savage Taurus: sighs and looks at the droods, "Ok, what next?"

Saphira Mistwalker: “Rorn, don't get into that, you don't want to mess up what your dad is doing.”

Talia.Sunsong moves over to pick up Rorn.

Savage Taurus: growls, "Don’t crowd me, nanny. I'm workin' here."

Fitheach Eun: “Ok Savage. it looks ready to go into the bowl.”

Talia.Sunsong: "If we are going to eat this, it needs more added to it."

Savage Taurus nods to the elf and pours the concoction into the bowl.

Talia.Sunsong searches through her pouch.

Saphira Mistwalker shakes her head, sighs, and goes over to talk with Fiesty.

Rorn flies up just as Talia pulls out a purple mushroom and drops it into the bowl.

Talia.Sunsong: "There that's better."

Savage Taurus: "Hey! Stop that!" he shouts as he plucks the mushroom out of his potion.

Fitheach Eun peers around, not seeing what happened.

Saphira Mistwalker whispers to Fiesty, "I hope this works. Savage is really annoyed about not being able to change form."

Savage Taurus: “I'll give you a good spankin', missy, ifin you don’t behave!”

Fitheach Eun: “Ok Savage, strain all that into the tea pot and put it on the fire.”

Talia.Sunsong: "But it will taste better with Fae mushrooms in it"

Fitheach Eun: “Or you can drink it cold if you want.”

Fiesty Lotus: "Yes, I know. It is a strain on him."

Savage Taurus: “So I can drink it now, as is?”

Savage Taurus: “I'm tired of waitin'...let’s get with this!”

Fitheach Eun: “Yes, it may not taste as good , but you can drink it.”

Savage Taurus: "Make me into the form of a great savage creature!" he says as he puts the bowl up to his lips and gulps it down.

Fiesty Lotus jumps up to see the results.

Fitheach Eun: “Ok Savage, now take a deep breath and concentrate.”

Savage Taurus: turns around, "Well? wha..." then stops and gets a queer look on his face and clutches his stomach..."oh this dont feel too good"

Saphira Mistwalker holds her breath, waiting to see.

Fiesty Lotus: “Let’s see, Lady Sapphire”

Fitheach Eun: “Picture what you want to be. Hold that picture in your mind.  Become the thing you see.”

Savage Taurus contracts and doubles over and in a great poof turns into a wooly sheep!

Savage turns into a wooly sheep.

Fitheach Eun: “Uh oh....”

Saphira Mistwalker: “By the Great Mother!”

Savage Taurus: looks around confused and then down at himself.

Savage Taurus bleets angrily, "MmmmBLAAAAA."

Fiesty Lotus: "Oh nooo."

Saphira Mistwalker whispers to Fiesty, "That doesn't look like a very savage creature."

Fitheach Eun sighs.

Fiesty Lotus: “Naw, it don't.”

Fiesty Lotus: “That ain't what's supposed ter happen.”

Saphira Mistwalker: “Maybe he got a little too relaxed?”

Rorn sniffs the air and smells lamb.

Savage Taurus rushes around in a fury, "BLAAAAA", "BLAAAAA!!!!" knocking thinks over, spilling liquids, making a mess.

 Rorn flies over to sheep Savage and lands on his back.

Rorn lands on his back

Talia.Sunsong jumps back from the table.

Saphira Mistwalker: “Rorn! Behave yourself!”

Savage Taurus jumps and bucks in a rage and rushes toward the elf trying to headbutt her.

Savage Taurus: “MmmmBLAAAAA.”

Rorn grabs a mouthful of wool and growls like he just caught prey. His growl is more like a little high- pitched purr.

Saphira Mistwalker: “Oh dear.”

Savage Taurus tries to shake off his son, getting even more annoyed.

Fitheach Eun: “There wasn't anything else in that potion was there?”

Saphira Mistwalker: “Rorn! Get off him right now!”

Rorn tastes the awful lanolin taste of the wool and let’s go.

Fitheach Eun: “Can you put Rorn on him?”

Savage Taurus rushes around trying to headbutt everyone he sees.

Fitheach Eun jumps aside.

Talia.Sunsong flies onto the spiral staircase.

Fiesty Lotus dances away, trying not to giggle.

Saphira Mistwalker lifts into the air. "Ack!"

Savage Taurus bucks and kicks like a baby bronco.

Fiesty Lotus: "It do show he kin shape change though- even if it ain't the right shape."

Fitheach Eun notices a purple mushroom on the floor...

Fitheach Eun picks it and looks at Talia.

Fitheach Eun: "Where did this come from?"

Talia.Sunsong: "Mushrooms come from the earth."

Fitheach Eun: “This one is purple,”

Saphira Mistwalker: “A mushroom! There was a fae mushroom in the potion?”

Saphira Mistwalker: “A purple one!! "

A Purple one!

pl

Talia.Sunsong: "Fae mushrooms add to the magic!"

Fitheach Eun: “Looks that way...”.

Saphira Mistwalker: “Oh dear, that's not good.”

Savage Taurus, like a bull in a china shop,  knocks over everything and makes a mess of the library.

Fiesty Lotus: “Oh, me goodness. He ought ter be happy that’s all that happened.”

Fitheach Eun: “Savage stop that; the mushroom changed the potion.”

Saphira Mistwalker nods. "At least he isn't purple-spotted."

Fitheach Eun nods.

Savage Taurus tries to growl, but it only comes out as a bleet.

Fitheach Eun: “How long did it take your spots to wear off Ambassador?”

Saphira Mistwalker: “It was over-night. I was ok the next morning.”

Talia.Sunsong: "See no problem. Fae mushrooms wear off quickly."

Saphira Mistwalker: “But I ate a lot more of the contaminated cow, so it might not take him as long.”

Fiesty Lotus nods.

Fitheach Eun: “Ok Savage, it should be temporary.”

Saphira Mistwalker shakes her head and lands again.

Savage Taurus sighs and curls up in a corner and fumes.

Saphira Mistwalker looks at Savage and giggles, "Well you DID want to change forms Savage."

Talia.Sunsong: "Can we make a sweater out of Savage?"

Savage Taurus tries to growl but bleats at the cheeky dragoness.

Talia.Sunsong pulls on Savage's wool.

Saphira Mistwalker: “Hmm, might not be the best idea. He doesn't sound like he is in good humor.”

Savage Taurus tries to bite the fae..

Talia.Sunsong: pulls her hand back "Bad sheeeep. Naughty.”

Fiesty Lotus looks around at the mess in the library and goes to the broom closet to bring cleaning supplies.

Cleaning up
