It has come to my attention that the poison used in Celliwig's trials this past moon were sourced from my store.

If you have suffered side-effects as a result of it then please notify me here or privately. I don't believe my alchemy to be so poor as to leave side-effects, but I would like to be certain.

And no, I was not aware the potion would be used for the trials when they were purchased. Let me be very clear on that before you all start pointing fingers.

[ uh-oh. ]

This wouldn't happen to be related to the spider venom we collected, would it?

[emet_sulk]

No. I used that to make a fortifying potion. One that eases the effects of poisons, although it cannot cure them.

'Tis ridiculous that an alchemist cannot even cure mundane poisons with their brews.

[troubadamsel]

I must admit, I'm a tad relieved at that.

But did you really make so much that it could have been enough for all of those people doing the trials? Or do you think they could have taken what you sold and created more from it?

[corruptedsave]

Wait, you just made a potion that makes it seem like you're dead?

Why? [And then quieter;] and how much to get more of it?

[emet_sulk]

My friend thought it would be amusing. 'Twas intended for childish pranking, not this.

[corruptedsave]

Your friend has a good sense of humour. And if you think about the trial was basically one big prank in the end.

I mean... if you sell poison, someone's going to want to use it for something nefarious. I thought that stood to reason.

[emet_sulk]

Yes, yes, I'm well aware of the nefarious deeds of men. Not only men but fae now as well, it seems.

I was trying to think better of you all. But I suppose I shall be restricting the sale of this potion indefinitely.

[omnicrafter]

You better not give any to Hythlodaeus.

You know, assuming you haven't already.

hey do you sell like
alchemy books or whatever
or just things you made
cuz
some people's alchemy is poor lmao

[emet_sulk]

I have a book you may peruse at my store if you are seeking ideas. I do not have copies for you to take home but I can set aside time to make one.

Are you an alchemist?

[itsjiaheng]

heh apparently
maybe because i used to be able to do something like it when i still had my own powers ?
i dunno
i figure the familiars have their reasons for hooking us up with whatever
but i never had to train for that it was sort of like
intuitive
sigils and more technical stuff here is all new and confusing

That would explain what happened.
But no, I didn't get any side effects. I felt as fine as I did before I drank it.

[emet_sulk]

Good. That is as it should be.

[ Well, you know, besides scaring whoever gets to see you die from apparent poison. ]

How did it feel to take it? I had the misfortune to experience it myself but I would like to know if it differed for others.

[bendless]

Well, first of all, it tasted really bitter. I don't know if that was an addition to the trial or something, but it wasn't pleasant.

Other than that, I just felt a bit cold before passing out.

[apshot]

At least you know it's pretty damn effective.

[emet_sulk]

Yes, I suppose I do. I am quite pleased with its efficacy. 'Twas very convincing, wasn't it?

I hadn't tested it on anything besides animals before those trials took place.

[apshot]

Don't you think you should have at least tested it out on someone first?

[.......... It was Emet-Selch's poison potion that was used at the trial?!]

The kind of potion that you made, why did you have something like it made in the first place?!

Are there any other side effects at all? That you didn't know of before? Someone I know- he was down for almost over an hour. And he was exhausted when he finally snapped out of it!

[emet_sulk]

Hmm, I did experience some disorientation upon waking. I expect that is a natural result of having one's heart and other internal functions halted for a time.

As I told another, I made it because I was challenged to. 'Twas ultimately harmless as you can see. I WILL be restricting its sale from now on however.

[fullgauntlet]

Hydrating right afterwards seemed to help with that...

But I don't think it's a good idea to have something like that for sale at all... It could cause more harm than this in the wrong hands...!

It was unpleasant. Uncalled for. Distasteful and manipulative sort of prank. Unfortunate that your poison and spell were used for a horrible game.

[emet_sulk]

Indeed. I know not what they intended to gauge by obfuscating which of the two goblets held "poison" either. If they intended to test our willingness to self-sacrifice, they did so poorly. The man I was with drank so enthusiastically that he took the unpoisoned goblet.

[lunarchain]

How disgusting and unfortunate, to think he would waste your time and in essence take your choice away from you. This is frustrating, also - lets sidebar. I am getting annoyed with these 'quests' the people of Celliwig and Avalon feel they need to push upon us. If they want to test who we are as people, then perhaps they should just individually speak to us. Or give me back my scrying, and I will give them the truth that they seek. Otherwise, they are wasting my time and patience.
