Axel wipes away at his tears, moving away from his son a little. He is still on his hands and knees, his big cheeks reddened. "Perhaps you could do something for him?" He glances between Sonya and Silvie.

His attention then turns to the bottles in the cart and he rubs at his face nervously. He mumbles something under his breath and points to the bottles. "That must be it. It was a gift, we were told, from the Ave'irelian woman."

Silvie
Silvie will go to the mentioned bottles and see if she can deduce anything about what they are.

Sonya
"Who gave you the bottles Axel?"

Buford
Buford stuffs the bloody clothes in his bag, and, moving to inspect the bottles as well, wordlessly passes the note off to @Sonya

Sonya
Sonya flips open the note and tries to decipher what remains of whatever's on it

Guild Master Sefa
Axel scratches at his chin nervously. “Pageboy, after the potion maker left us with the cargo. Said it was extra thanks for the work.” He cursed under his breath and moved back to his boy. “Too good to be true, I see.” He strokes Axelson’s cheek.

For those of you inspecting the bottles do me a medicine check.

For the note do me an investigation check. (edited)

Guild Master Sefa
@Silvie & @Buford You both investigate the bottles closely. Swilling the half full one around, uncorking it, and giving it a whiff. You also inspect the other. They both have very sweet smells, the thick yellow one more so.

Buford
"Say, Axel, chum, I'm just gonna take these off your hands then, yeah?" Buford is already trying to tuck them away. "Not even good booze... your 'gift' here was a sleeping potion and a botched potion for confusion. Who'd you say you got these from?"

Guild Master Sefa
"Confusion?" Axel pipes up, rubbing at his chin more. "Aye, aye... That sure does clear a few things up..." He makes no move to stop Buford from taking the accursed items away. "A young errand runner, around my boys age. Came out from beside the shop claiming to have something extra for us. Surely it wasn't actually from the potions master!"
He looks back to Axelson. "But a sleeping potion—those're harmless, aye?" He also seems to notice the carnage around and on the cart. "Perhaps we let him rest, now doesn't seem like a good time to wake the lad."

Sonya
"Maybe they were expecting us to all have a drink and make us an easy target for robbing."

Buford
"Oh yeah, the pup'll be fine. We can wake him any time with restorative magic but he'll rouse on his own soon enough." "
After stowing his bottles away, Buford starts to eye the cargo. "What are we hauling anyway that's so important as to cross Buford the Bastard?"

Silvie
Silvie shrugs and hops off the cart, heading to round up the horses. "I dunno... We should've kept one to interrogate, then at least we'd have a good way to infiltrate their camp if we need to later. Bandits that have the money for sleep potions probably have a good haul we can take as reward for clearing them out."

"I'd recommend about three to six adventurers, noobies even, for this endeavor. From what we've gathered it quite literally needs a good cleaning!" The Guild Master laughs. "But find the root of the problem, who keeps causing little disasters all over the college? Very unusual for such an upstanding place."
Gather a party in #party-status and speak to the Guild Master to set off on this job.


"An escort mission, again? I mean, if it's what the people need...." The Guild Master rolls her eyes. "Okay, so escort, those are always simple. Varrikston is only about two days travel, so not a lot of pay, comparably. Once you're there you can recoup at our Varrikston quarters, but you're on your own for the travel back."
The Guild Master sets the job leaflet aside. "Hey, this may look easy, but don't let your guard down, bandits have been acting up on the north route, lately. Plus, you wouldn't want to let our Potion's Mistress down by fumbling this job."
Two to four adventurers are needed for this mission. The client prefers someone with a little more experience under their belt. Gather a party in #party-status and speak to the Guild Master to set off on this job.
