Yvlena didn't get the ce to look at the Alchemist Kit when she bought it at Risel's apothecary. She took it out of her iory, holding it carefully in both hands as she id it down on the dock's less patchy area.
Whatever she was expeg it certainly wasn't a wooden box, the Basic Alchemist Kit was a smooth wooden case with a golden tch holding it closed.
The polished cquer gleamed as she observed it before finally ung the tch to peer into the box.
"Oh," Yvlena gasped, the case was ly packed with instruments an alchemist would need but she could only reize a few of the tools.
In the case were a grate, grinder, small ceramic mortar with a pestle, burner, and gss tainers.
Yvlehe burner marked with runes, possibly fniting fmes without using charcoal or matches. The burood on three feet, finished with a small rabbit's foot on each of its three legs.
"Cute," she said, setting it down on the wooden surface. "I had something like this in my chemistry css, nothing this fancy though,"
came the gss tainers, there were two of them, one was a rounded fsk that attached to the burner quite easily, topped with an intricately designed cover that opened and closed on a single hinge, probably so she could add ingredients to boil.
The other was a rounded fsk as well that closed with a round nose, she didn't know what to use it for a it in the case for now. She took the first bottle and fixed it securely to her burner.
Yvlena turned her attention to the Avaresh Lotus and picked the rge herb up to exami.
"Uh...where do I even begin?" she asked, first she separated the lotus from the pad it had floated on, the Avaresh Lotus itself was a deep red, with spshes of green bundled ials.
Yvlena disassembled the Lotus piece by pietil she was left with the various parts of the pnt.

"Alright, what's ?" Yvlena asked. She allowed her character's knowledge to guide her, pig up the mortar ale she set about crushing the Lotus Petals into a paste and pg them in the tainer on the burner.
The burner came on with a buzz, a blue fme r to life as the paste began cooking. Yvlena watched the petals dissolve into a pale, shimmering pink liquid.

O was done she poured the liquid and was able to fill two vials.

[Subcss Skill: Alchemy Leveled Up]
"Well this retty challenging, I would have been surprised if I didn't level up," she said, puffing out her chest in pride. "I have everything I need for the Water Resistant Elixir,"
The cauldron bubbled to life, lit with a magical fme. Yvlena prepared her ingredients starting with the slime. It was cool to touch as she lobbed it into the boiling pot, was the vial of Lotus Extract, and stly two Luna Orchids.
The elf watched the cauldron bubble until the potion was ready to bottle.
"Odd, it's only enough for one,"

Water Resistant Elixir x1]
"Phew, a new potion made. I almost thought it was going to fail. It seemed so tough to make," she said, wiping the sweat off her brow.
She uncapped the bottle and tipped it into her mouth, swallowing the elixir in one gulp. Yvlena's eyes bulged, she gagged, nearly spitting up the foul tasting liquid.
"That was awful! Hoas that Elixir's grade? You'd think it was 'Z' not an 'F' from how bad it tasted!"

"Does that mean anytime I'm ba the docks I'll have to drink another elixir?" Yvlena asked, her stomach lurched at the thought of drinking the elixir again.
"Let's start looking for those ingredients, Let me take a look at that recipe again," she said.

"Right, spider venom," Yvlena grumbled. Her foot nded with a spsh oer, possibly alerting more creatures to her presen the S. Rabbit Knight followed behind her, nding with a hop on the almost solid water.
Yvlena gripped her sword as she walked, ready to skewer any S Fish that would dare cross her path.
"I he slime anyway," Yvlena said. "I wonder what the chum is for, maybe bait? But what would I want to catch?"
She walked by the side of the docks ing to the end where the wood stopped. The sight of the way fnked by trees made her swallow with fear, so far the s had been creepy and she k would only get worse from there.
Something sinister awaited her.
"Alright let's go," she said weakly, Rabbit Knight g her, Sprite huffed.
----------
The waters of the deeper s rippled as Yvlena and Rabbit Knight walked through. Dying trees halfway submerged in water faced them at every turn, some dripping with the liquid she had e to know as the Miasmic Sap, tainting the water below further.
Yvlena didn't notiy more S Fish but kept her eyes open for any new eypes that might spawn from that point.
"If I were S Jelly what would I look like?" She asked herself, looking around. It wasn’t long before she caught sight of a glowing yellow flrowing out of the s water, the bell shaped petals seemed to house a ball shaped fruit.
"Wonder if that's the S Jelly," she walked towards, reag out to cup the flower in her hands and move on to the ingredient.
Underh her, the water shifted, rippling with movement that was now her own and f Yvlena to jump back. She watched something big ailian poke its head out of the watery depths.
Yvlena saw its snout first, two nostrils poking out of the water as the beast began rising. It opes mouth to show her rows of razor sharp teeth. A growl followed and Yvlena was now looking at a green crocodile covered i soil.
Yvlena's eyes wide the sight of the reptile swimming through the water, amber slits darted left and right, eventually falling on Yvlena and her summons.
"Uh oh," Yvlena watched the beast submerge itself deep uer, losing sight of it. "Damn it,"
She set her sights below her and sure enough, she saw the reptilian body swim underh her ready to rise again. The water rippled, and she jumped just in time to watch the massive jaw open and snap beh the water where she previously stood.
"Don't tell me I have to fight that!"
