WHO:

Zolomon- Corporal. Runner, Archer in the LP

Robert- Private Frist Class, Fighter in the LP

Ciocan-Badger Lord

LOG:

The summons from his lordship probably caught Zolomon by surprise, a somewhat wild eyed Private had tracked him down to report that his lordship had summoned him.

Once arriving at his rooms he'd find the door open and the Badger sat at a table in front of the large window. Sunlight is pouring in and reflecting off the glass bottles, tubes and small burner heating things in a small cauldron on the table in front of him.
Strange liquids bubble and hiss in tubes and beakers and he is grinding something into a fine powder in a pestle and mortar that must be the size of Zolomon's head. He's not looked up yet to notice who is there working steadily away.

Zolomon was actually glad to get away from the two Privates Cole and Slaw, the privates over slept and Zolomon was making them do extra push-ups and sit-ups when he gets the note the two privates start laughing "You in trouble bossy pants" .."Hee hee yeah" He sighs and then glares at the two hares 100 more push-ups..."He gets a groan as he walks off smiling, that would show them. The corporal soon came to the room and was unsure of whether to go in or not, but he went slightly in and cleared his throat and just waits on a reply,he is curious but decides to not ask what is going on.

Ciocan doesn't look up, he just lifts one paw and points at a chest that is open to one side full of bottles and boxes, "The sandalwood box with red wax around it, bring it to me Zolomon," his deep rumbling voice calm and quiet as he works away with the pestle.

Zolomon nods and walks over to sandalwood box and carefully picks it up to get it over to the BadgerLord and is soon standing beside him as he looks curious at what is being made or...well it's something and it looks like he wants to ask what it is but decides, for now, to wait quietly, he has never seen the badger work on this sort of thing before.

Ciocan taking the box the badger holds it in both hands and with a crack pulls it apart. The wax snaps and something inside the box drops into the cauldron. There is a hiss of steam as whatever landed in the liquid starts to fizz and he then pours in the powdered herbs from the mortar. "There... now whilst that is simmering," he turns to look at the Corporal, reaching out one large hand to grip the hare's chin and turn his head sideways so he can see him in profile, "Hm... yes it is you."

Zolomon is a bit surprised and blinks, he then has to ask "Ummm......yes sur, it's me...Ya did ask me ta come after all sur." He will back up slightly after Ciocan looks him over and watches the stuff sort of sizzle in the large cauldron "So...ummm...new hobby your Lordship?"

"Not really, but it was time to open the chest and the instructions are quite clear," he taps the book on his table, then scans the passage, "Some of the ingredients are quite old however and need replacing," he turns a page, "Yes here," he turns the book around.

There is a drawing on the left hand page of Zolomon, a beautiful pencil sketch showing the corporal and on the right hand page a line of text in a flowing hand. "This one of your hares will be able to find the ingredients missing, once you put the Bozoar into simmer send him out. Lord Russano"

Then there is a list of ingredients:

Crypt Mushrooms: A rare vareity of mushroom located in sea side caverns

Wormgrass: Can usually be found in the swamps to the south, usually in the centre of mud pools

Black-Spotted Sponge Moss: Grows in the lee of rocks and elm trees

"So as you can see Corporal, I need you to go get these ingredients for me. You are excused from all other duties, pick someone to go with you and take this," he hands over a small book, "Quinten found it in the library for me, it should help you locate the items I need."

Zolomon blinks as he looks at the writing and tilts his head very curious now indeed.He looks at the book "So your...making sumthing fer...wot?" He nods at the book and listens carefully and his attention is on full alert, he scans the ingredients and looks at the drawings of each "Wot is this...fer and how soon is it needed in case tis a little hard ta find?"

Ciocan smiles softly, "I need them before the new moon in three weeks," he places a hand on the book, "This is the alchemical workings of Lord Russano, he left me some instructions and the chest of alchemical gear. It instructed me to open it today and start working on this..." he taps the cauldron with one claw, "As for what it is... you do not need to know Corporal."

Zolomon nods, even is he is curious"Alright sur, tis has ta be important if it's info from a former badger Lord and not ta worry sur I will do this."He smiles "Ya got de fastest runner of de patrol on de job"He does a salute and stands at attention,"Any certain place ta start..a direction?"

Ciocan smiles, "Take someone with you, that's an order as for where to start, i'd locate them in order Zolomon, the book says you will be able to find them and the badger runes are rarely wrong..." He picks up a small flask and hands it to Zolomon, "Oh also when you cut your paw on the wormgrass drink this."

Zolomon takes the vial and frowns "Cut...my....?"Ok now he is a little worried but carefully pockets the vial and nods.He tries to decide who to take with him and decides he needs to figure it out soon rather than later.He gets a couple ideas and nods "Yes sur."He knows this is important for sure and seems to want to ask what is going on but maybe it's for the best he doesn't know. "I will get some supplies and start ASAP sur"

Ciocan says, "Thank you, and no do not take Cole or Slaw with you, put them on kitchen duty for the mess they just made in the training room," he turns a page in the book and the hare would note the margins are full of those badger symbols that only badgers can read and write. He traces a paw along them, "Hmm one final piece of advice from Lord Russano for you is that you should not eat the mushrooms and do not touch the sponge moss with your bare paw. But when you cut your paw on the wormgrass, do please drink the vial of antidote."

Zolomon nods"Not to worry...those two would likely get lost...kitchen duty sounds good fer em'" He listens to more advice and frowns, what is he doing, what is he being sent to get and why? He looks at the badger and then nods."Alright sur"He then exits and his quest seems to begin.

The corporal lets Felicity and Terrence know he has to be away a couple weeks...maybe 3, when asked why he said its important mission Lord Ciocan sent him on and he had to go right away, he also told the Major and Lt. the same thing and then found one of the best fighters, this fighter could well be a corporal themselves one day. A Private First Class Robert, him and the hare he has chosen get supplies from the kitchens and then head off!

The Quest Had Truly

Begun
