"If he's hiding in the wilderness,
the magic he cast in the village would be useless."

"It just so happens, the magic Messenger is en route to Optima..."


Before leaving, she asked me to obtain a few materials to maintain the villages magic protection.
They can be found on Hexed Stone Golems and Mystic Reapers.


"What do you want with me? It's true she left a few materials,
but it's just the right amount. If you want any more,
you'll need to collect the materials for yourself."

"Wow! Are you a traveler? What are you doing all alone out here in the middle of nowhere?
"Where is it you're headed off to?"

Claudie seems delighted to able to talk to you.

"The next part of the journey will be challenging!
The path ahead is swarming with bandits and giant birds!"

"Perhaps you'd like to try my latest batch of fortification potion?
I guarantee that once you've taken it, you'll be able to keep going day and night. No sleep needed.
With energy like that, you should be able to make quick work of the enemy!"

You quickly toss away the flask that the magic messenger hands you.

"Hey! Why did you throw that away? I hadn't finished drinking it!
That was a new brew of mine!"

"So you want a Runestone for your investigation? Hmm...
Let me take a look at the materials you've brought along with you." Claudie purses her lips
reproachfully.

"You have just enough materials. I'll get to work straight away!"

She plucks out a few vials and conducts a series of tests
before mixing the materials with a liquid catalyst.

Smoke rises from the mouth of the vial as the contents solidify.
Unceremoniously, she tips a lump of matter into your hands.

"Well, this experiment really does win awards for boredom. How can I be creative
with a recipe that's set in stone! If you
had other materials, I'd be able to show you something really special!"

You're suddenly struck by the realization of how far Alchemy has come in the last few years.
