Re: Seekers of the Flame
Without even noticing that he has done it, Alchemist McNealy pulls out a beaker from his potion belt, and raises it back halfway, as if to throw it. Images of a massive fireball of swirling magical colors dance in his eyes, and he's almost completely immersed in the moment.
Then, he registers Masugatan's question, and almost imperceptibly shakes his head. Looking at his throwing hand quizzically, the tradesman's eyes go wide as he registers the impulsive reaction. He sheepishly puts the vial away in his belt, before standing up to face the rest of the group.
Slowly he raises one of the beakers he had been manipulating the liquid in, and swirls the luminescent and oily substance around in the bottom.
"This looks to me like a mixture of Janus, Salamander, and Atalanta all mixed together. I think the darker substance might be some wizbang, but that's much harder to detect than your usual run of the mill chemicals. I'd have to tst the alkalinity, but it would only work after a dialysis of the lighter compounds.
To address your question, I don't believe you would experience any explicit toxicity if you drank some, but the results would be unpredictable at best. If things went really bad, then you might decompose into some drool or even crystallize. The molality of the polymers is impossible to measure when we have this kind of entropy.
I would be very careful using magic around this area. If we were to agitate this just right, then the combustion level might be catastrophic, although it would also be a thing of beauty the likes of which we might never see again. That's why I initially thought a little alchemist's fire might be worth adding.
Thankfully, I think we can use it. It won't last long, but I can make it work for a little while. I'll need someone to walk Cookie in here so I can do some mixing. And we want to figure out what's through that worked stone wall. I have to assume there is a door somewhere, but if not, I can probably mix something that would get us through."
OOC Made the impulsiveness control roll, but just barely. This is like the greatest day of the Gnome's life. I'm going to need to think about what he wants to brew veeeeery carefully.
