alchemy [✓] Alchemy - Hunter's Alchemy

[CombatRolePlay 1863]

Potions not listed under the restricted section are all considered public knowledge and is usable by anyone with the alchemy feat.

 

 

Lore:

Spoiler

Over the years, the hunters lounge has perfected the ways of the hunt. From niche gadgets made for specific creatures to months worth of planning just to take on a single target.

The lounge has prided itself in their ability to adapt to any situation and make the best out of it.
Hunter's alchemy is merely another application of their adaptability as they manage to create potions to further help them in their hunts.

 

Due to the philosophy of shared knowledge used by the lounge, each recipe (except for the most dangerous) are made public knowledge, going so far as to send copies of these recipes to libraries all across the continent.

 

 

OOC:

Spoiler

Hunter's alchemy's main purpose is to add onto the recently released ecosystem lore and give players more options when harvesting their prize from an event and create useful items that aren't necessarily meant for combat purposes. 

 

Quote

My thought process was that since many of the potion requirements are from DIY creatures, it could be easier for players (specifically those that do player events) to interact with the story team so that they may create story lines that will eventually lead to an Actual ST event and not solely rely on the occasional ST ran hunt.

 

 

 

 

 

Warmth Potion

Spoiler

Name of Potion:

Warmth Potion (Mundane)

 

Brief Description: 

Often used by Hunters of the lounge to warm their bodies to continue their hunt even in the coldest of blizzards.

Amberguard Elixir

Spoiler

Name of Potion:

Amberguard Elixir

 

Brief Description:
Meant as an emergency potion, The Amberguard Elixir gives the user temporary armor made of amber like chitin that can block a single blow from hurting its user.

 

 

Recipe:

 

Tarraskan Beetle Chitin (1 chunk)

Strength x3

Growth x2

Agility x2

Balance x2

 

 

Creation:

 

-All symbols must be ground into separate powders

-Grind the Tarraskan Beetle Chitin to dust

-Place all powders (except Balance)  into a bowl and stir gently until homogeneous

-Move the resulting mixture into a larger bowl and mix with room temperature water until the consistency of paste.

-Mix in the two (2) portions of powdered Balance Symbols along with boiling water. Stir gently for around fifteen (15) minutes.

-The resulting potion will be a amber like in color with no particular odor

 

 

Effects:

 

 Upon consumption, the elixir initiates a remarkable transformation within one’s body. Over the course of a minute (1 Emote), a warm, amber-colored sap-like liquid begins to seep from the drinker's pores. This liquid quickly spreads across the torso, solidifying into a chitinous armor.

The armor covers the drinker's upper body, forming a natural carapace that extends over the chest and back. This armor carries a mesmerizing, translucent amber hue. It is astonishingly lightweight, allowing the wearer to maintain their agility and freedom of movement while benefiting from its protection.

The chitinous armor, while appearing delicate, possesses exceptional strength. It can withstand one full-strength blow from a regular human, dissipating the force and distributing it harmlessly across the surface of the armor, causing it to crumble away after receiving one attack. This protection can prove invaluable in critical moments, offering a precious shield against physical threats.

The chitinous armor remains active for the duration of the combat encounter, after which it crumbles away from the user's torso and into dust.

Drinking another elixir within a 24 hour period will have no effect and will cause the user to experience the sensation of the flesh on their torso being torched by flames for an hour or so.

It is also important to note that attempting to use this potion with armor causes the growth process to fail to solidify. The chitin also cracks and is destroyed when one attempts to wear armor over it after solidifying.

 

 

Redlines:

 

-The potion must be ET signed.
- The potion effect fails the moment the user wears layers thicker than simple cotton clothing. In other words, no armor stacking.
- The amber chitin can only take damage equivalent to one full force blow from an average descendant before it crumbles away.
-The force is distributed across the amber armor properly and will stop the user from taking damage from said attack.
-Using more than one (1) Amber guard Elixir per IRP day will not only waste the potion but also cause the user to experience the sensation of burning flesh across their entire torso for around a narrative hour.
-Requires T3 Alchemy and requires teaching ICly, considered Uncommon.

 

 

 

Hunter's Venom

Spoiler

Name of Potion:

Hunters Venom 

 

Brief Description: 

A poison commonly used by the members of the Hunters Lounge for higher difficulty hunts, applied onto arrow heads to slow down larger enemies, and even straight up killing smaller creatures with a small dose.

 

Recipe:

 

Black Ooze Slime (1 bottle)
Lurker Venom (1 bottle)

Weakness x4

Agility x2

Death x2

Blindness x2

Fear x2

 

Creation:

 

-All symbols must be ground into separate powders
-Into a large aurum bowl gently mix both portions of the Agility symbols along with equal parts water, stir for around ten (10) minutes.
-Mix in one portion of the weakness symbol with equal parts water and stir for 5 minutes
-Add in both portions of the Death symbol along with half of the Black ooze Slime and Lurker Venom. Must wear proper equipment as to not inhale the toxic fumes coming from the mixture.
-Mix in one portion of the weakness symbol with equal parts water and stir for another 5 minutes
-Add in both portions of the blindness symbols with equal parts water, stir gently for another   ten (10 )minutes.
-Finally add in both portions of the Fear symbol along with the rest of the Black ooze Slime and Lurker Venom. Stir the concoction for at least ten (10) minutes
-Distill the mixture, the distilled liquid is your poison.
-The resulting potion will be a dark murky green in color, the fumes alone may cause irritation when inhaled.

 

 

Effects:

 

If applied to a blade or arrowhead, injuries caused by said items would cause its target creature (non descendants) to first feel nauseous, the venom acts fast and causes the creature along with its nausea to start vomiting. After around five minutes the affected area begins rotting, meat and flesh would start to rapidly melt into a soup like substance that releases a smell akin to a rotting corpse. 

The venom quickly seeps into the target's body and causes damage to the nerves, causing a temporary paralysis that would last for a day.

While paralyzed the previously mentioned wound would grow in size for another thirty minutes , for larger elephant sized beings it would be enough to melt away a tenth of their entire mass.

Smaller creatures closer to the size of descendants could have nearly one thirds (⅓) of their mass melted away into soup.

 

Any attempt to use this venom on a descendant will render the venom useless.

 

Redlines:

 

-The potion must be ET signed

-The potion is only enough for at most 10 regular arrow heads, or three uses on a sword.

-It CANNOT affect descendants / CA races under any circumstances. 

-The potion reeks like a corpse, a clear indication when mixing with consumables like food and drinks.

-Requires T3 Alchemy and requires teaching ICly, considered Uncommon.

+1 Let's goooooooooo, Alchemy pog

While quite interesting, I do wonder how you wanna make the Harpies Message work mechanically. Seeing it should reach 100 blocks but of course we are limited to 50 with shout. 

[Olandyr 519]

I think it's a nice lore piece that, if treated properly, could certainly be a useful addition. I think the formatting is great, and I appreciate how easy it is to navigate. However, there are some slight issues with it (if I know right) that affect every non-mundane potion.

This lore hinges on the idea of hunting, and the items you gain from hunts, but you're using exclusively DIY-event creatures, all of which mentioned here don't need ST-signing, as explicitly stated in the sources. Due to the constant mentioning of required ST signing of DIY event resources, it partially negates the point of not needing an ST in such events. Along with this, I'm uncertain about how effective 'Harpies Message' is in practice, it seems rather abusable in who one chooses to message (for those outside the shout range) and, unless in a scattered hunt, likely has less use than you think. 

I think this lore piece would be fun, and provides the player base with hunting eccentricities, aside from that which I mentioned above.

But your points are very valid and was the main issue I had to think about when writing .

Regarding the harpies message, Im up for some suggestions to be honest. Perhaps if I add a redline in which the voice only goes towards one direction, wherein sending a MSG to a player not in the specified direction can be grounds for Meta and Powergaming?

[Nozgoth 3083]

I haven't taken the time to fully read through each potion's abilities, though I really appreciate the effort you've put in. The concept of using event items is also interesting, though might be unorthodox and impractical as seen with the nature of certain necromantic rituals.

[Gustando 1990]

I think these are swaggy but it seems like an arduous and very specific task getting those ST signed items. Plus i would suggest removing/fixing the harpies message because i think staff would be iffy on things that surpass one's mechanical limitations.

[CombatRolePlay 1863]

The 'Harpies message' has been rewritten. Need opinions

I think it's a fine change that provides it with use. It seems to partially divulge from the idea of 'Hunting', but I can see it having niche use. Might be best to specify that they msg the person they're trying to whisper to from afar (if that's how you believe it should happen).

Done. It's also possible to use this in hunts where you need to communicate but not make too much noise. Most of the potions are pretty niche, and its pretty much meant to be like that.

just makes more RP sense that these potions are for very specific use, probably developed because there was a need for that specific effect.

[Mescaffier 6197]

Neat! I really like the custom titles! But;

A lot of these items, if these creatures are used in events, won't be ST signed because they're mundane creatures as their redlines state.

Perhaps change them/at least, make some that aren't requiring the ST signed items.

As mentioned before, the main intention was for players who do player events to build up an event line where eventually at the end, an actual ST member will provide an event. 
But yes I will be asking ST if some of these potions can be changed into non ST signed recipes, or weaker variants could be made.

[Pintape 170]

I find this super cool. I enjoy the idea of using parts of beasts and monsters you hunt and incorporating their parts into weapons, armour, and hopefully now alchemical potions. It'll add just a bit more to the world of LOTC, and I think that's something we all ask for. 

 

More to do, more to see, more to learn, and ultimately; More to be.
