Listen up, my little dark witches and wizards! Here are the instructions for making your first dark potion. If you have questions, ask in class.
Ingredients for Draught of Submission:
| Arnica | 300 grams |
| Sopophorous Bean | juice of 2 |
| Dandelion | 150 grams |
| Henbane | 400 grams |
| | |
| Bloodroot extract | .1 liter |
| Hillwick extract | .25 liter |
| Room temperature spring water | .5 liter |
| Syrup of Hellebore | .25 liter |
| Dragon’s Blood | 3 drops |
Directions:
Pour all spring water into cauldron. Lightly sprinkle dandelion into water, stirring briskly in clockwise motion, for 1 minute.
Once dandelion is stirred in, put cauldron on the fire. Bring water to a boil and hold for 2 minutes. Reduce fire and simmer for 2 minutes. (Make Roll Here)
Mix in henbane in 100 gram units, stirring in a normal pace in counterclockwise motion, until each unit of henbane has dissolved (approximately 1 minute per unit). Potion should turn a soft yellow color after all henbane is introduced to mixture. (Make Roll Here)
Bring mixture to a vigorous boil; after boiling for 1 minute introduce dragon’s blood. Continue boil for 7 minutes.
Add juice of sopophorous beans and syrup of hellebore. Stir at a normal pace in a clockwise fashion for 2 minutes then reduce to a simmer. Hold at simmer for 10 minutes. (Make Roll Here)
Add arnica in 50 gram units, stirring in a normal pace in clockwise motion, until each unit of arnica has dissolved (approximately 30 seconds per unit). Simmer for 3 minutes then remove from fire. (Make Roll Here) Allow for 20 minutes off fire. Mixture should be a light blue color after 20 minutes is up.
(Wand is needed for this step!) Add bloodroot extract to mixture, stirring slowly in counterclockwise motion for 90 seconds. Allow mixture to come to rest, then dip tip of wand into mixture and perform incantation, “Hoc erti tibi”. (Make Roll Here) Mixture should turn a semi-clear with a bluish tint. NOTE: should mixture turn pure black it has become poisonous and should be disposed off immediately.
Return mixture to fire and bring to slow simmer. Add hillwick extract to mixture and give it a vigorous counterclockwise stir for 15 seconds. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from fire and cool to room temperature. Semi-clear appearance with bluish tint should remain. (Make Roll Here)
Bottle and notify instructor. Prepare to test.
Approximate brewing time: 90 to 100 minutes
OOC Stuff:When the instructions say "Make Roll Here" you make your roll after all role playing has occurred for those steps leading up to your roll. I don't need to explain; you know what to do.
As with all potions there is a point total that you will need to roll to make a successful potion. There are some modifiers that will come into play during rolling:
Should you roll at 1 at any point, stop and allow Emma to describe what's happened. It will likely be something bad.
A 1 also deducts 30 points from your total.A 2, 3, 4, or 5 rolled will deduct 10 points from you total.
A 90, 91, 92, 93, or 94 will add 10 points to your total.
A 95, 96, 97, or 98 will add 20 points to your total.
A 99 will add 25 points to your total
and allow you a D20 modifier to all subsequent rolls.
Should you roll at 100 at any point, stop and allow Emma to describe what's happened. It will likely be something very good.
A 100 also adds 100 points to your total.Additional modifiers will be handed out on a person-by-person basis as determined
by the instructor. Don't beg because I don't listen.
Got it? Good. Get to it.
End of OOC.
