My Band of Idiots

Shopping

The day after Caspian and Ceildrik got engaged we were off on another mission into the forest this time on a quest for Amia Ro the position master. If she went into the woods herself the week before why couldn't she gather her own potion ingredents is what I wanted to know. But who was I to turn down good money. Mr. Monkey, Paws, Bell and I went to go see Amia about what she needed us to gather for her request as well as gather some more enchanted items.
Paws seamed slightly anxious that morning as he sat on bells shoulder mr. Monkey on the other. We went to get the crystal known to us as the shard of essence crushed and talk to Amia a little more. We finally crafted the last of the lock enchanting it with some of the powered shard of essence.
Amia rose her hands above the lock and begain to swipe clockwise and counterclockwise clockwise, drawing designs with her hands of ruins above the lock and placed a small amount of the essence into the locks joints and mechanisms. She chanted three times into the air.
"Letovia, letovia, letovia" her eyes turned white and then for a moment looked as if she had taken on a dragons eyes before transforming to her own blue eyes sparkling like morning rain.
I could almost feel the electricity of magic in the air, leaving my skin goose pimpled and chilled as if a storm had just rolled in. The smell of a ozone like the wet earth after a thunderstorm, the taste of the sea filling my mouth with brine.
I blinked around the room, wondering if the light had dined and then blinked again. With a thin dry swallow I wetted my mouth and lips before thanking Amia wondering who or what she really was.
"Now you want information on the love potion?" Amia asked when we had paid I nodded and she looked at us all and then pulled out a small bound book and begain to read off a few notes she had.
"The love potion is for a young man who's grandmother is forgetting her family. She dosn't remember her husband, or children. She can't remember their faces any more. I do't usually make love potions they can be dangerous in the wrong hands. But this is not a standard love potion and not for a terrible reason."
She closed the book and put it away before saying "the love potion as such is a category can be a lot of things, a truth serum, or a memory aid, a type of potion that helps one recall the feelings of fondness. A true love potion, one that puts a love sickness into one's heart but is never truly real. Those are deadly things. The kind of things that men go to war and die over. What we talk about now is a potion of healing, of fondness and memory recollection for an old woman who is not well. It will never replace the memory's she has already lost. But it will help her recall the ones she is losing and help her hold on to her family a little longer."
"A Nobel deed then."
"You could say as such. Well we don't need much, I need but only 1 lilie of the valley found in the pixie village, I believe they will trade with you for some alcohol as that is what they use it for."
"Alcohol we can do" paws said with a nod
"Next is the love lace or lace hoof mushroom, it can be found where the cantors roam, they may be willing to trade or you may have to steal it. It depends on your skills."
"Well I am sure I will be able to do something with them" said Bell "so long as their are Nobles among them."
"Oh I don't really know if they are really the sort to care about titles and such. The finwart is found growing on sirens fins which as you can guess they will be found in the sirens lagoon. They will likly be glad to be rid of the finwart as it causes them much pain and discomfort. Finally Talon root is a type of beet found on the volcano where harpies roost. The harpies are currently melting and getting ready to mate so be prepared to deal with their aggression and territorial nature."
"Good to know, is there anything else we need?" I asked the boy's then bowed before Amia "thank you for the information my lady. We will see you when we get back"
Soon after this exchange the group was on our way out. Bell insisted on visiting the cartographer.
"What, what do you want?" The goblin woman pulled back a pair of thick round glasses and glared over at us as we entered the shop. She was hunched and wore dark thin clothing.
"Do you happen to have a map of the surrounding area and might you be able to pin point some specific areas for us" Bell asked
"Of corse I have maps, maps is all I do" she said swiping back her black greasy hair.
"Might you point out the Siren Lagoon, the Cantors hills, the Pixie Village, and the Sirens peek?"
"Ah yeah, yeah, wait? you going to the pixie village?"
"Why yes we are" Bell told her, I don't know why bell had to tell everyone our business.
"You pick me up some of the lilies of the valley drink for my cocktails?" She asked
"We can do that." Bell agreed again much to agreeable.
After the map shop bell went to get a 45 lb barrel of wine. I asked him if he was sure we needed that much but he seamed sure.
