A Scientist (NPC)

## Scientist (Encounter)

### First Encounter

*You enter a small glade, quite unique in the way its grass reflects the surrounding Wyrdness. You see dozens of jars overflowing with a strange liquid. They're filled with a variety of different monstrous body parts. You notice a woman who is taking pieces out of some of the jars and placing them into others. You get really close before she raises her head. "I'm terribly sorry, sire, I didn't notice you approach." She points at her face. You realize that one of the young woman's eyes is made of glass. Glass! A rare material, especially in this world ravaged by war. "Sight-related issues." She chuckles nervously and takes an enormous hand out of one of the jars. She starts scratching her head. "Welcome to my dominion! The altar of knowledge, as I call it, as this is the place where knowledge is born."*
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
*She gestures to the jars. "Many of my potions are still in development, I admit, but I think I could give you a very special potion... in exchange for the most valuable component you can provide me with."*
"MEANING?"
*"Gold, of course."*

* **BUY A POTION**
*"Unfortunately I only have enough ingredients for one of these. So choose wisely!"*
	+ **POTION OF STENGTH** *You will get +1 damage* (200 (Wealth))
	+ **POTION OF SHEILDING** *You will get +10 armor* (200 (Wealth))
	+ **POTION OF HEALTH** *You will get +30 Max HP* (200 (Wealth))
* **"WHO ARE YOU, ANYWAY?"**
*"Well, uhh, I'm a scholar-in-training. I've devoted my life to two things: gathering knowledge and performing experiments. But when I think about it, it's one and the same thing. Experiments help in expanding me... I apologize. I tend to spiral within my thoughts when I'm hungry. I think I haven't eaten for a week now." She continues like that for awhile before she catches your gaze. "Master Eiron always took care of such things, he remembered about food and other earthly things... but he disappeared."*
"JOIN MY VILLAGE, THEN. IT WILL BE SAFER."
*She considers your offer. "But... will I be able to continue my research? Back home, people weren't very keen about my... approach to science." You nod, hoping that you won't regret this decision. "Then show me the way!"* [Unlocked: Scientist]

## Scientist (Village Encounter)

### First Encounter

**TALK**

* **"SO, TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF."**
*"I'm from Darkroot Valley. The greatest, and most resourceful, farmhold of Avalon! Well... actually, we are at war with... everyone, I suppose. I hope we didn't raid your original farmhold? We did, didn't we? Oh... I'm really sorry." You explain that, for all you know, they didn't. She calms down instantly. "That's good to hear. In truth, I wasn't even there for most of my life. Master Eiron took care of me since I was a small child."*
* **"YOU SAID THAT PEOPLE WEREN'T VERY... APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR EXPERIMENTS?"**
*"Uh, no... not really. I mean, whenever I've met anybody, or heard from anybody, they always seemed... afraid of my work? But, mostly, Master Eiron told me that we had to live far from our farmhold because of some of my experiments. I don't remember any of that, though..."*
"DO YOU KNOW WHERE MASTER EIRON IS?"
*Her eyes well up with tears. Her lower lip quivers. "I don't. He must've left while I was busy with my research. Would you be able to keep an eye out for him during your travels?"* [New Quest: Fire And Brimstone]
* **"CAN I ASK WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYE?"**
*"I wish I could, but I honestly don't remember!"*

### Encounters

#### Death Verified

* **SPARE HER AND LIE***You come up with a story of someone you met, someone who met Eiron when he was on the way somewhere... You add in a couple of details here and there. In the end it even sounds like a convincing story. "Oh..." Her face falls. She's clearly sad, but at least you know that this sadness will pass easier than the truth you've decided to keep to yourself. "Thank you anyway. Then... I suppose this is my home now. And if Eiron needs to, he will probably find me. And I am grateful, mind you, that I have a space here for my experiments. Visit me whenever you like, and I hope I'll be able to help you."* [Completed Quest: Fire And Brimstone][NPC Saved][Unlock Special Card:   Card]
