You still have to finish your analysis on Lucy's medicine and make some potions for the boys, you don't have time to sell the analgesics yourself. But maybe you can do something in preparation for a future sale, you can brand your items. You have the cipherous ink kit, Chimia uses it all the time to brand their goods, why not you?

The question becomes, what brand do you want to represent you? It should be something short, simple, memorable. You rack your brain, doodling in your notebook as you think but your sketches look like you've tried to draw them with your feet. You look back to your Elf.

"Turn and peep, turn and peep, there's blood within the shoe, the shoe it is too small for her, the two bride waits for you." She reads.

"It's 'true' not 'two'." You say.

"Two."

"True. With an 'r'"

"Twwo."

"Look my lips. Trruue."

"Torooow." Her eyes are almost shut in concentration.

"Close enough. Why you don't move on to the next story? You've been reading that non-stop for past two days." You stand up and stretch.

"Master doesn't like this story?"

"Well, it is a little unrealistic. I mean I know it's a fairytale but a housemaid becoming the wife of a rich noble just because of some slippers? It's silly. That would never happen in real life."

"Oh." She says. "I like it." Her voice is very small and quiet and she looks down at her shoes.

"Well lets take a break. Maybe you can help me with something." She's a good artist, maybe she'd be better at this than you.

"Yes Master." She closes the book and lays it aside. She's been in a good mood lately. You've caught her smiling to herself and humming while she's cleaning or doing the dishes or cooking and she no longer gives you that look of panic when you call for her. Some nights she doesn't even dream. She still doesn't talk much, but you think she's no longer afraid of you--or at least, as afraid.

"I'm trying to come up with a logo for my business. You're good at drawing. Any ideas?" You show her your notebook and she tries to comprehend your squiggles, turning it this way and that. "I know it's not very good."

"No. It's...not bad." She says. She can't make eye contact when she lies.

"Yes it is. But that's not that point. I need something simple but instantly recognizable. When a customer sees it, he thinks Seabass."

Your Elf looks at the page next to your drawings, filled with various random calculations you were working on to modify the analgesic recipe. She parts her hair and ties it back and starts making small swift strokes on the paper. After a minute of this she hands back the notebook to you. Her hands tremble.

"I saw it a lot on this page. It looks like a fish. Do you like it?"

It's the proportionality symbol, but drawn with a smooth curve to make it look more like a fish with two tails.

Agreed.
The brand only becomes a problem if it's traceable to us, so we need to talk to Gunther and see if he's on board with keeping our identity on the down-low. Also we're going to have to start using couriers to remain anonymous. A good thing to ask Toad about.

>>2510704

"I like it." You say and her eyes light up like a little girl who is given a new doll. "But, on second thought I think we'll have to hold off on the brand. Once I get my license though, this is going on every bottle. Good job."

"Master is too kind." She says. "I am just happy to help."

You go and grab your coat and put all the tablets and the paste into a small pouch. "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back in an hour or so. Are you going to be OK alone?"

She rubs her elbow and looks away. "Y-yes." She says. She really needs to learn lie a little better.

"I'll have Nina check up on you."

"I don't want to bother Master's friends."

"It's fine, I do. She stays at home all day anyway. And I think she likes you. You'd be doing her a favor really. Keep the doors locked and have lunch ready when I get back."

"Yes Master. Have a safe trip." She says.

You wave goodbye and head out the door and down the stairs and down to Nina's door. "Nina it's me." Nina stands at the doorway wearing thin half-moon spectacles that makes her look 20 years older. Her red hair is tied back in a bun, which means you interrupted her in the middle of her work.

"Sorry to bother you." Things with her have been awkward since that day in the veranda. She shakes her head.

"It's alright. Did you need something?"

"Yeah, I'm heading out to the market. Would you mind watching Leia for an hour or two?"

"You want me to babysit your slave?" She folds her arms and smirks. She's enjoying this. The awkwardness is rapidly displaced by annoyance.

"You know how she is. She gets scared."

"What is she, a puppy? Fine, I'll head upstairs right now. But..." She points at you. "I'm doing you a favor right?" She's grinning now.

"That--that's not exactly--I mean...yes. Alright. What do you want?"

"I can't think of anything right now, but let's just say you owe me one--no questions asked."

"Alright. But I'l be busy this week and...nothing crazy." You throw your finger at her.

"Do I look crazy to you?"

"Is this a trick question?"

"Just go." She starts pushing you to the door. "Your Elf is in good hands."

"I'm regretting this already."

She ignores you and runs up the stairs and you (reluctantly) head outside and call for a carriage.

----

You find Gunter's hammock strung between the poles of his tall but he is not on it. He's busy unloading glassware and other equipment from a stack of crates.

"Gunter, what's all this?" You pick up a Chimia brand enchanted burner, it doesn't look like a knock-off.

"Seabass! You'll love this--I just got a huge shipment of discounted equipment. All this shit is Chimia." He says, gesturing at the boxes. "Premium shit man. 100% authentic. Here look, here's that alembic you wanted--special price, just for you." He hands you the alembic of dwarven glass and puts three more just like it on the stall. Other people--alchemists like yourselves are beginning to crowd around you.

>>2510869
Yeah, we would loose much less extract with it = lodsofemone

>>2510877
I think it's clear we're getting it, unless it came from a tainted source.

What concerns me is the number of alchemists in this town, we've got a lot of competition it seems. A glut of equipment is a little strange, too. I thought alchemy was kinda rare. Maybe I've just made an assumption.

Something fishy about this. Especially with Chimia's links to our archnemesis and his father, and this Illuminati conspiracy going on. Can't expose ourselves with people around, better to just ask the obvious questions and buy quality shit while we're here. Stay alert.

You recognize a few of the faces around you, though not by name. They're fellow alchemists, though now they're also competitors, as you're no longer toiling over the narrow niche of perfumery. They examine the aludels and burners and alembics and incubators and shout over each other to try and get Gunter's attention.

Gunter is unable to cope with so much clamor and resorts to shouting profanities at the top of his voice, which shakes the very earth you stand on and causes his customers to cower and line up in an orderly fashion. You go to join the back of the line but Gunter holds you back.

"You don't need to wait in line Seabass. You're alright." He says.

"Thanks."

"No prob. Fuckin' a man, my kids'll be eating well tonight." He giggles like a schoolgirl as he rings up another sale. "Maybe I'll buy Bunny that necklace she keeps bothering me about. She always gets a little crazy over diamonds--good crazy you know what I mean?" He laughs and slaps your shoulder and almost sends you sprawling into the ground.

"Where'd you get all this?" You already know that Gunter's sources aren't exactly reputable, but everything here is genuine Chimia brand goods and Chimia security is tighter than a snare drum.

He puts his finger to his mouth and beckons for you to give him your ear. "A few days ago a huge shipment of Chimia goods came in from the mainland. No one knows who ordered it or why. Word on the street says it was Fontain himself--you know since he's the son of the Chimia head and everything, only that dude could pull off an order this big, you know, without all the red tape and shit. But fuckin' a man, my dude gets a hold of a piece of it and sells it straight to me. It's all good too, I mean I have the fucking paperwork right here." He takes out a thick folded scroll from his breast pocket. Unfurls it. It's a order of sale with the faint imprint of "Fontain" in cursive, at the bottom.

"That's cipherous ink." He says. "That's how you know it's legit, right from the top."

"You're saying Fontain ordered Chimia brand equipment?" He furls up the scroll and puts it away.

"Apparently. My guy says this was all of the small stuff. There was manufactory-level equipment on the ship, I'm taking crystal-coolers the size of fucking trees. Crazy." He turns away moment to deal with another customer and then comes straight back. "You know what it might be? It might be those fucking scaleskins man. I'd bet my left nut on it. All the poison and shit. Same thing with the orcs when I was in service. War makes for real good business." He shakes head, as though it were a tragedy that struck personal. "Place is going to shit I swear. But hey, no reason we can't wet our beak a little." He grins and bites into a sovereign before pocketing it.

1/2

>>2511091
Something about all this feels off but you have business to conduct and the medicine and the potions aren't going to make themselves. You take out your pouch and lay it on the table. "How much for these?"

Gunter looks through them, taking out the flat jars of paste and the bottles of tablets. "What the fuck is this?" He says, sniffing the paste.

"Analgesic paste. It's topical, I think might work better than the tablets, at least for external wounds."

"Hmm. Interesting. You mind if I check the purity?"

You give the go ahead. He crushes one of the tablets into a fine powder and gives it to a small lizard about the size of a pencil, with the tip of his pinky. The lizard flicks his tongue out, which is rounded like a spoon and laps it up and then spits out a small greasy stone, like a clump of sand. Gunter weighs it, then makes a few calculations on a piece of paper. "Well shit, that ain't half bad. How the fuck did you do this using the shit equipment you have?"

You shrug. "An alchemist must be better than his tools."

"Spare me the philosophical bullshit please. I get enough of that home." He counts out the tablets and weighs the paste. "I'll give you 20 sovereigns for the lot. 15 for the tabs, 5 for the paste."

>Ask why so little for the paste. There's a lot more of it than the tablets. Negotiate.

The sight of twenty sovereigns is like hearing a thunderclap in the desert, especially where they're all laid out in front of you in columns of silver and gold, but you're not in deed of coin right now. You're in need of equipment.

"Actually, you think you can do a percentage instead?"

"Sure, standard 75/25? But then the money will be coming slow."

"That's alright, maybe we can do a down payment in equipment."

"Sure. Take your pick, I got everything today."

You can take one piece of equipment as down payment, but the choice is made difficult by so many useful toys. There's the Chimia alembic of course, which would increase the purity of your crystals three-fold while also halve the heating and cooling time. On the other hand, the enchanted burner has perfect internal temperature control--no more grabbing coals from the furnace, no more modulating the temperature with the ring stand, just set and forget. You also spy a set of distillation tanks, large enough for mid-sized manufactories which you would have killed for when you were still making perfumes.

Each one is so tempting, or perhaps you should look for something else in particular?

Higher quality and lower amount of time means we can pump out more of the good stuff that's worth more than what we are selling now.

>>2511205
>>2511203

The Alembic costs 1 sovereign, the burner 2 and the tanks 25. Whatever you buy here will be deducting from the total sales (of which you will receive 75%)

>>2511230
You do. You have another 13 at home in a lockbox and 10 (making 20%/month) at the bank

We dont have enough raw material income to make use of them yet.

Apparently we do, because seabass wanted one of those before we stopped making perfumes.

>Get the alembic (purity of crystals tripled, time halved)

>>2511170
>>Get the alembic (purity of crystals tripled, time halved)

The cost of the tanks come out of our 75% sales price so we are not gaining more from taking them.

>>2511234
>>2511230
Then we should get the burners and the Alembic

only 3 sovereigns out of the 20 that was proposed in the deal earlier seems like a safe bet we can pay off. Later once we have more materials we should pursue the tanks.

>Get the burner (yield doubled, DC lowered by 1)
>Get the alembic (purity of crystals tripled, time halved)

>>2511248
We can make things in bulk. everything else is fine and dandy, but the output will be more or less small. With the tanks we can make way more even if its in a lower quality. (Also i don't think we might see a chance to get them in the near future.)

>>2511281
>>2511263
plus we got a big discount from the sound of things with the alembic the burner, I'm thinking that the original prices are much more like the tanks, or higher since Gunter got them cheap.

>>2511170
Burner and alembic. Hopefully they'll be good and well-made counterfeits...

These are probably the real deal. Just fell off the back of the truck.

>>2511259

>>2511293
with this line of reasoning, the tanks are probably so high normally (without discount) that were never gonna be able to buy them and this could be our chance

although im still for alembic and burner. only your argument is void, if the economic power of the tank is really that high that itll pay for itself really fast.

And that is the question, of which i have no clue how to answer

I'd rather two sets of good equipment rather than one and with the discounts, this is the best chance at all of them. The tanks, while useful and cheaper than their market prices, are not as useful as the other two. If we want to make a name for ourselves we must be good at what we do, equipment to increase the quality of goods would be the smarter trade rather than competing with lower than average quality but higher amount as we would be seen as an already risky trade partner.

mass production by an unlicensed freelancer might attract undue attention

we refused fontaine's offer but we do need to find other/better contacts to cover our ass

I personally feel that building a small but loyal customer base on the quality of our product is more important at the moment. Once we have a stable consumer base and good word of mouth than we should look into going big. Basically the Sriracha business model.

Back. It seems like Burner and Alembic have won over Tanks

Just an idea... buy more slaves, let them produce potions for us, breed with them and hire guards for the factory place.

>>2511573
Breeding requires feed and housing. Unless we buy some farmland, we shit outta luck.

>>2511573
Now I'm no expert but I think slavery on that sort of scale tends to only have short term economic advantage. We're in it for the long game.

>>2511558
I agree on that logic. We can either go for a high bulk low quality kind of business where our brand name's recognizable as dirt with little value. Or we can be really fucking good at alchemy and produce high quality shit that people will pay for and respect for our need to take time to make the high quality goods.

>>2511558
>>2511604
that and our quality is how we keep our loyal customers.

You pick up both the alembic and the burner, unable to choose between them. Gunter is generous enough to let have both. "I know you're good for it and I'm sure the tablets will sell."

You thank him and move on to the next order of business: buying the supplies for analyzing the medicine and making potions for the kids. For the medicine you can just buy some more Lavozian worms (5 per silver coin) and do fecal chain separation as you did with the cipherous ink.

The potions are another matter. What would best help the kids survive? You open your notebook and leaf through your notes on the Restorative book. There was that recipe for the anabolic, the ingredients don't seem too expensive, though you'll have to substitute some of the solvents with ordinary water and slug juice. You'll also have to modify the purity so it takes effect faster--though with the new alembic and the burner you should have no trouble.

There's also that recipe for the minor stimulant, on order of ogre musk that soldiers take before battle--certain modifications of it also make it a stimulant for other less violent, but perhaps no less intense, activities, you've considered basing a perfume around it but the musk makes a foul base note that overpowers every other scent.

You shut the notebook, finding no more help from it. There's also that book on toxins that you haven't opened yet. But poison manufacture is risky business, you do have some old safety equipment but if something goes wrong your slave will be in danger.

Well, you could always make more painkillers. Gunter still has some phoenix ash and you won't get it for the same low price you had before but with your new equipment and experience, the yield and purity will be higher.

Lavozian earthworms are fairly easy to breed, they reproduce like ordinary earthworms. You can hold two dozen of them in an ordinary flowerpot, but they won't survive in such an enclosed space over the long term. They're usually just "farmed" by putting them into ordinary arable land and harvested with the crops.

A manure pile then. Would be great to have if we started a garden for more mundane components as well.

Would Leia be interested in gardening? Maybe we could start one near the temple.

You'll go for the anabolic and the stimulant, the combination should ensure that the kids come out ahead in any fight they get into. The base of the stimulant is concentrated Ogre musk extracted from their sweat, as expected, but this is combined with a mild anesthetic secreted by a species of giant caterpillar, that's found exclusively in Eastmarch (there they call it the "woolly slug"). The purpose of the anesthetic is to blunt the effects of the musk and reduce some of its detrimental effects (like spontaneous heart combustion). Like the musk, the final product is a gas which you could probably dissolve in a solvent and aerosolize.

The anabolic is a little trickier. The base ingredient is a wildflower that's common in the local cuisine, Blueknot. The flowers are burned whole and the ash purified through dissolution and distillation but there was a note on the margin that suggested you should use the flower petals only, and not burn them but strip off the waxy layer and rub out the juice from the petal and then crystallize the juice. If you go the latter route, it seems more sensible to just buy Blueknot juice from a food vendor and purify it.

Regardless of the method you employ, you'll also need some bugbear blood which has to be kept chilled until the moment it's added and some clumps of human hair. Luckily you saved all the hair from your last haircut for just this occasion (you also saved your Elf's hair, maybe you can try that as well).

All in all the worms will cost you 2 silver (you decide to get ten, to keep a few to breed), the Blueknot flowers a silver per bunch (or just 2 copper pennies if you get the drink), the caterpillar anesthetic is 5 silver a phial (it's imported), the bugbear blood costs a sovereign and the ogre musk a silver and a half per vial. In total that's 1.95 sovereigns. You obviously don't have enough to buy everything, but Gunter is willing to deduct the extra cost from the sales of the analgesic.

If you get one of everything you'd be able to make one batch of both anabolics and stimulant. That's assuming you don't make any mistakes of course.

>>2511917

You decide to double up on the order, it's better to leave a margin of error in case you make a mistake. While your bill now comes to a whopping 7 sovereigns, you're confident your goods will sell and cover the cost. Your business concluded, you leave Gunter to service the rest of his customers and head home.

----

You come home to a sight so profound and bizarre you have to physically reach over and pinch your own cheek. It's real. Nina, the Beast, the one who almost burned the house down the one time she tried to make tea, is in the kitchen helping your Elf cook lunch.

"Master is back!" Says your Elf, running to the door to help with your bags. "Did you have a good trip master?"

"Fine." You're still a little dazed. Nina is actually stirring a pot. She's an apron for god's sake. "Put those on the desk, I'll look at them later." You head toward the kitchen, Nina glances back at you.

"Not one word." She says. You raise your hands with the universal gesture of "of course not". "And stop smiling."

"I'm smiling?" You definitely are.

"I'm just tired of eating out all the time, that's all."

"I feel it's my duty to inform you that arson is a serious crime and punishable by at least 15 years imprisonment in a penal colony."

"Oh ha-ha. That was one time and no one got hurt."

"You tried to make tea on a skillet. That fact that 'no one got hurt' is priority number one when you're cooking should be a clear sign."

She flushes and her thumb is in her teeth. "So what, I can't try to improve myself?"

"Of course not." You laugh. "I think it's great you're learning something new."

"Really?" In her voice is the almost genuine doubt of a mother asking her husband if she's put on some weight after the baby.

"Yeah, I've always liked a woman that can cook." It slips out before you can stop it by even the smallest shred analysis. It's fascinating to watch her face as the red rushes up to cheeks and matches her hair, as orderly and inevitable as an alchemical reaction. She turns away and concentrates as hard as she can on the pot, stirring it in slow, measured circles. You clear your throat. "Leia that goes in the fridge." You call out. She doesn't understand, she doesn't know that word. You point to it and then she comprehends.

You turn back to Nina, who is still brooding. "Anyway, um, thanks for watching Leia. I'm here now so, you know..."

She doesn't move.

"Nina?"

"I cooked this." She says.

"OK. What does that mean?"

She turns and points the spoon at you and flecks of broth land on your face, stinging your cheeks. "You said, and I quote, if she cooked it, it's only right that she gets to eat some of it. Well I cooked this, so I'm eating it."

"Well fine, I just meant that Leia can finish the rest of it, so you're free to go."

"I can't believe you're kicking me out when I did you a favor--you're so, just, ugh! This is why no one likes you." She says.

Your Elf comes back into the kitchen. "Master, I'm sorry but lunch will take a little more time m-maybe master should wash up?"

"Yeah, go wash up and leave us alone." She puts an arm around Leia's shoulder and pulls her into chest. Leia lets out a squeak like a frightened bird and begins wringing her hands.

You can tell when you're not wanted, but the fact that your slave and Nina are getting chummy makes you feel strange. You wash your hands, face and feet--it's nice not having to worry about changing the water every morning, your Elf takes care of it well before you wake up. Truly the lap of luxury. Buying this slave may have been the best decision you ever made.

Nina stays over for lunch, and there's really not much you can say to resist. Her tomato soup is surprisingly good, with just the right amount of tang and spice, and though you just can't bring yourself to compliment it openly, Nina seems to know you approve anyway and doesn't say much through the whole meal.

After lunch, Nina finally leaves two of you alone, but only because she has a big order she needs to work on--"two dozen evening gowns for the upcoming harvest festival ball". No one farms here of course but the tradition carries over from the mainland. You settle in to do some work and your Elf sits down with her books to practice her reading and writing.

The bugbear blood has a shelf life of under three days, and probably less with your freezer. In fact, it may have already lost some of its potency on the ride here (although it was enclosed in a vial enchanted with a minor cooling spell). It's probably best to start with the anabolic, the effects have a delay before they kick in and the sooner you get it to the kids the sooner they can use it.

You take out the restorative book and review the procedure. It's simple enough, the same standard procedures: purify through crystallization and distillation, collect, purify again, collect, mix together in an appropriate solvent, purify again, collect and then cut the crystals.

The first step is to process the flowers. You can either just burn them into ash, as the book suggests or try to extract the juice, neither seems particularly difficult, though the juice is definitely easier to purify with simple distillation.

The margin notes haven't steered you wrong yet, even if the claim that redweed is a panacea still feels ludicrous. You take out the flowers and quickly remove the petals from the main stem and bud. The notes recommend using a knife to strip away the cuticle layer, but in this area you have a little more expertise.

It's easier to just chill the flowers in the freezer for a few minutes and then rub off the waxy layer with your hands. It works to preserve the fragrant oils which you used to make your perfumes. In the meantime you help your Elf with her writing. Her script is fine, much better than yours because of her talent with the pen, but she has some trouble with spelling. She likes to omit silent vowels.

It's still astonishing how much she's improved in the last few days, but her determination makes it inevitable. Once again you're reminded of your younger self, toiling away at night when the other orphans were asleep, copying sections from your textbook and committing them to memory, the desire to escape your conditions almost burning through you like acid.

"Alright, finished. Much better than yesterday, but you still need to watch for homophones--see like weigh and way, they're spelled different."

"I'm sorry, Master. I promise I'll do better next time."

"Don't be, you're making great progress. Pretty soon those books will be too easy for you and we'll have to get you new ones. Though I never was one for storybooks or novels."

"M-Master, can I ask you something?"

This is a first. "Sure, what's on your mind?"

"If-if someone tells you to keep a secret, does that mean they're your friend?"

"Uh. What?"

"N-never mind." She says, goes back to her corner with the notebook in tow.

You consider following up, but it's probably some nonsense Nina put in her head and you don't have the patience for it right now. You take out the flowers and rub the now chilled cuticles, they flake away like old paint, leaving the bright blue leaf behind, soft as velvet. You wet the petals a little and squeeze out the juice drop by drop.

After all is said and done, you get out enough for a single vial. Now comes the hard part, purifying and removing the contaminants.

>>2512604
>1, 10, 11: 1 success

The first phase of purification, simple distillation, goes well. It's something you can do in your sleep. The crystallization step is where you run into real trouble. You assumed that the distallant would dissolve readily in diluted slug juice. You were wrong. It seems the that the slug juice actually reacts with the distallant and when you went cool the solution, most of it just evaporated, taking your active component with it.

You have only a quarter of it left now and another distillation followed by another round of crystallization (this time in small amounts with water) yields the desired purified product. Several more rounds of purification whittle down what little you have to only 10% of the original mass.

Well, that's why you bought two batches of flowers. You move on to the next step: processing the hair. The bugbear blood is added at the end for the final crystallization (which is supposed to be rapid since the blood is supposed to sublimate).

You have two choices here, your own hair or the Elf's. The type of hair isn't specified so you're sure either one will work. Though, your curious how Elf biology may impact the concoction, even if your Elf in particular can no longer use her magic there may be residual effects.

et al

You already know what will happen if you use your own dirt colored hair. Since you've already muddled up this batch you may as well use it to experiment and learn something new.

You remove a clump of the hair and dissolve it in the slug juice. It hits it with a hiss and disappears within the acidic confines of the green fluid. There's nothing to purify this time, the book says to add the ingredients together at the same time, the juice first then the hair and finally the blood.

The moment you add the blood the alembic heats up so fast you almost drop it. That's strange, the book did mention that there would be heat release, but it was supposed to be mild and gradual. The pain from your hand is neither mild nor gradual. You watch as a faint shimmer passes through the glass, like the ripple of water in a pond. It's so subtle you're not sure if it was real or just a trick of the light.

The solution steams and in thirty seconds everything has evaporated out, leaving behind a small thumb-size crystal, gray and cubical. It's still hot to the touch and when you hold it against the light, you can see that shimmer again. Neither the book nor the margin mentions that. Could it be because of the Elf hair? And how are you supposed to test this? You can take it yourself or give it to your Elf, but there might be adverse effects..

You should have bought some swamp rats from the trapper. The only thing you can really test it on are your chickens outside. But eggs are expensive.

This is supposedly an anabolic we're making. Like steroids. What if we accidentally synthesize fucking cocaine? How will that impact a fantasy world like this?

>>2512842
I know cocaine is NOT a steroid by chemical definition, but the possibility of making one thing and getting another is still there. My question of how crack cocaine might affect a fantasy world still stands.

>>2512842
At least we'll be fucking rich.

You break off a piece of the crystal, same size as the tip of your pinky. You twist it around. Multicolored. Like a rainbow. Strange.

You call Leia over and explain the situation. She insists on taking it in your place until you put your foot down. "Now I don't exactly know what will happen--if anything, but in case something bad does happen, I'll need you help me void my stomach."

"H-how?"

"You put your fingers my mouth and touch my uvula, like this--saa? Laak das." You demonstrate the approach and gag a few times in the process. "Now my jaws might seize, that happens with some toxins, so you'll have to keep them open. Use a towel so I don't bite your hand. OK, ready?"

She nods and tires to raise a last bit of resistance which you wave away. You swallow the bit of crystal whole. On second thought it might have been better to dissolve it in water because it tastes like a combination of sweat and wood ash. You take your pulse. 90 beats per minute, a little high but perfectly normal. You don't feel any different.

You look at your Elf, who is wringing her hands like she's trying to squeeze out milk from an udder. A minute passes. Two. Still nothing. The effects are supposed to take a while to kick in by the normal recipe, but you didn't dilute the blood or the juice so it should be working within seconds.

You feel your muscles, there's some tightness there but you won't be besting any Olympians anytime soon.

"M-master? Are you OK?"

"Fine." Is it a dud after all? Maybe you should have just followed the original recipe. You retreat to the book and when you go to lift it, it feels...lighter than usual. Same with the Alembic. And the burner. And the fridge. The fridge is at least 100 lbs.

You look at your Elf. She looks at you, mouth open. You're holding the freezer off the ground with one hand. "That's strange." You say. This doesn't make sense. This is a minor anabolic, in the short term it gives a small boost to strength and stamina, in the long term it helps spur muscle growth. And that's all. But the effects your experiencing now are like those of a high-grade strength potion, the kind of thing the Royal Sacred Band use to fight dragons and giants.

Was it the juice? No, Blueknot doesn't have this kind of potency, no matter how pure you get it. Then the Elf hair. You sit down. It's possible. You don't recall anyone using Elf hair for...well anything. Elves don't cut their hair and they're not alchemists. Maybe Elf hair has anabolic properties? That makes even less sense.

"M-master!" Your Elf is point at something. Your face. What's wrong with your face? You touch your chin and then run to the mirror hanging in the bathroom. You have the thickest beard and mustache you've ever seen. You look like you've been living in the jungle for the past twenty years. But you were right, the effects do have a slight delay.

And then the real transformation begins.
