Peakwood Potions/Story

## **Chapter 1 - 1 Prologue**

**Lyra :** It's been three years...but we finally did it, partner!

**Lyra :** Our brand new Potion Shop is ready for action! Not too shabby, eh?

**Lyra :** Oh, someone's coming in...must be our very first Patron!

## **Chapter 1 - 2 Noam and Lyra**

**Lyra :** Look who I found lurking around outside!

**Noam :** Hello there, friend! What did you say your name was again?

**Noam :** Pleased to meet you, Player! I'm Noam. If you want to learn about alchemy, I'm at your service.

**Lyra :** Noam taught me everything I know about Potion making.

**Lyra :** He's that old mentor I mentioned before. And when I say old, I mean ancient.

**Noam :** Harrumph! I'm not even retired yet!

## **Chapter 1 - 3 Kara**

**Lyra :** The Shop sure is getting difficult to manage with just the two of us.

**Lyra :** What's that, Player? Workers, you say?

**Lyra :** That's a great idea! And I know just the woman who can help us.

**Lyra :** Player, I want you to meet Kara. We met during one of our many adventures.

**Kara :** Well met, Player. I am the Valkyrie, Kara.

**Kara :** I have recruited the spirits of the most valiant Heroes from across the land.

**Kara :** Build me a Summoning Shrine, and you too may have them join your cause.

**Lyra :** Thank you, Kara. We need all the Workers that we can get.

**Kara :** ...Workers?

**Lyra :** Uh...Heroes! I meant Heroes. We need all the Heroes that we can get!

**Kara :** Ah. Certainly. Now if you'll excuse me...duty calls. Farewell.

**Lyra :** Woohoo! I can't wait to meet the new Workers!

## **Chapter 1 - 4 Gnomified**

**Lyra :** Ack! These Potions are getting complicated.

**Noam :** Careful there, you two. We couldn't want there to be another accident.

**Lyra :** Oh right, Player doesn't know yet.

**Noam :** What, that I got turned into a Gnome?

**Noam :** The details are hazy. One moment I was just mixing Potions and the next I was three feet tall!

**Lyra :** ...and we still haven't found a way to change you back into a Human.

**Noam :** \*sigh\* I miss being able to reach the high shelves.

## **Chapter 1 - 5 Potions To Go**

**Lyra :** Whoever invented the Cork is a genius.

**Noam :** Egads, yes! I almost threw my back cleaning up all the spilled Potions yesterday!

**Lyra :** ...how does a Gnome use a mop?

**Noam :** I have a bespoke model that's exactly my size.

**Lyra :** \*gasp\* (That's adorable!)

**Noam :** Lyra, are you all right? You're getting all sweaty.

**Lyra :** I-I'm fine! I just thought the idea of a small mop was hilarious, alright?

## **Chapter 1 - 6 Chocolate Milkshake**

**Lyra :** Whew! That was a long day. I could really use one of those Brown Potions right about now.

**Noam :** Why don't you? It's on the house.

**Lyra :** Don't tempt me. I'm on a diet so I can't have any chocolate.

**Noam :** It's not chocolate. It just tastes like chocolate, even though it looks like po-

**Lyra :** Wait, really?! The Brown Potions aren't chocolate?

**Noam :** They don't have any calories. It's why they were popular in Starluck Village.

**Lyra :** In that case, one large Brown Potion please!

**Noam :** Coming right up!

## **Chapter 1 - 7 Lyra and Ribbons**

**Noam :** Egads, are those Ribbons on our Potion Bottles? What's going on here?

**Lyra :** W-well, some Patrons have been asking for them.

**Noam :** ...Why are you sweating so much, Lyra?

**Lyra :** Alright, alright, you got me! It was me, alright? I wanted Ribbons on our Potions!

**Noam :** Woah, easy there! I think it's a nice touch, don't you agree, Player?

## **Chapter 1 - 8 Giggle Berry Blast**

**Lyra :** \*giggles\*

**Noam :** \*barely controlled laughter\*

**Lyra :** Haha...ha. Ah, nothing like some Giggle Berries to start the day.

**Noam :** Oh hey, Player! Come and join us, these berries are a blast!

**Lyra :** I could use another handful myself.

**Noam :** Just as long as we leave some for our Patrons. Wouldn't want them to get grumpy while waiting!

## **Chapter 1 - 9 Those who Linger**

**Lyra :** What's up, Noam? You look troubled.

**Noam :** It's those Lingering Bookworms. I almost got stepped on three times today!

**Lyra :** They must've been reading a pretty interesting book to miss you and your pointy hat.

**Noam :** I can appreciate their thirst for knowledge. But couldn't they be thirsty for Potions instead?

**Lyra :** I hear you. In the meantime, let's get you a taller hat.

**Noam :** Harrumph! I'd much rather go back to being a Human.

## **Chapter 1 - 10 Too Many Layers**

**Lyra :** Good job, Player! You learned how to create Layered Potions so fast!

**Noam :** That brings me back. Remember how we used to make them in seven layers?

**Lyra :** I know! What were we thinking back then? Those tasted so weird!

**Noam :** Tell me about it. The first time I had one I puked an actual rainbow.

**Lyra :** That...actually sounds pretty awesome.

**Noam :** What say we make one for Player?

**Lyra :** Let's do it!

## **Chapter 1 - 11 Red Goblins**

**Lyra :** Watch out, Player! I saw some suspicious-looking Red Goblins earlier.

**Lyra :** Those sneaky little troublemakers have a penchant for stealing Coins.

**Noam :** Gadzooks! Red Goblins, you say?!

**Noam :** I had a rather unpleasant run-in with them once...

**Noam :** I managed to come out on top, but that was back when I was a Human.

**Noam :** Now they have the height advantage!

**Lyra :** Don't worry, Noam, we'll be on the lookout.

## **Chapter 1 - 12 Forever a Gnome**

**Lyra :** Hey Noam, I was wondering...now that we're in another part of the world...

**Lyra :** Do you think we'll find new leads on turning you back into your old self?

**Noam :** I don't know, Lyra...

**Noam :** I feel like we've searched everywhere, but we still haven't found anything useful.

**Noam :** Maybe we should just give up.

**Lyra :** Don't say that! If we keep going, we're bound to find something!

**Noam :** I suppose so...
