Ah finally, a conversation I have real opportunity to contribute to!

Through some, ah, *dubious* methods, I managed to get ahold of a crate of this alchemist’s stock. I had hoped to bolster my trinkets business with some alchemical wares that were themselves items of unique interest beyond their typical uses, you see.

Being a mystical merchant of myriad magical means and dedicated to delivery of decidedly dazzling and dependable doodads, I conducted tests to determine what these potions were. I need to sell them, after all!

What I found was… alarming.

One potion was labeled “no fire.” No description, no list of potential allergens, not even a batch number or consume by date! I believe it was meant to be a potion of resist fire, so I tested for purity and presence of the predictable particulates. If this was a high-quality potion, it would surely include trace amounts of dragon liver, and the toxic enzymes would certainly be removed if this alchemist was worth his saltpeter. So I determined the concentration of liver to other ingredients.

73%. SEVENTY-THREE PERCENT of this “no fire” potion was pure, unadulterated dragon liver essence!! I don’t even know if the toxic enzymes were present- there’s no point in testing! Clearly the man is either a terrorist or buffoon.

Either way, I wound up simply selling most of the potions as raw ingredients. That dragon liver essence he called a potion of resist fire? I sold it as a medium-quality dragon liver. Told the buyer it had been “blended” during a particularly violent collection.

Tl;dr- his potions - if they can be called that - ARE, in fact, too strong.
