After days of travel, arriving in the city of Veiðimaðurheimian. "what a great place to make a new start, i should offer my services to the lord of this great land." speaking to himself Sadris looks for a place to stay for the time being finds an inn and tavern to call home for the moment. Upon entering the establishment and seeing few patrons and a barkeep Sadris asks "if i may ask good sir where would a newcomer looking for a new start on life go in this lovely city here?" The barkeep responds "Depends on what you're looking for and how much coin you brought." Sadris looks with shame "I look to serve but have little to offer but my talents. Say friend have you heard of Alchemist kindness it would help your more thirsty patrons. with a small investment i could make some up in a day or so and your patrons would not wake with the nights thrust haunting them." The barkeep smiles and turns to clean a glass " wait for someone else to heed your talents, i will not be dragged into a puppet scam. Though you're welcome to sit and wait for someone who might be." With a mocking grin Sadris sits at a table and begins to polish his alchemy tools waiting for anyone who would like to chat and maybe make a friend.

The doors of the inn are pushed aside and a man in a long gray robe steps into bar room. "Good day, Otto! Say, has my package arrived?" The barkeep smiles and answers with humility. "I'm afraid that it hasn't, my lord." The newcomer frowns. "I thought I already told you to stop with the formalities. I may be The Keeper of Knowledge out in the world but here I'm just a man like any other. Give me the usual." The barkeep relaxes a bit and turns starts pouring ale into a big mug.
The keeper takes a seat at the bar. After Otto gives him the ale he leans closer to him and lowers his voice. "Who is the stranger?" The innkeeper answers with the same lowered voice. "He claims to be an alchemist. He even offered to make me something but I refused him. Why would I take his offer when the city brewery is making the best ale around this place." The keeper frowned and took a sip from his tankard. "An alchemist, eh?" He takes the ale and heads towards the young man.
"Good day stranger. What brings you to our part of the world? Otto bring our new friend here an ale. It's on me." He takes a seat at the stranger's table and puts his ale down. "I hope you don't mind. We are a bit isolated here and travelers are our main source of news from the wide world."

Sadris looks to the man in robes from out of a daze "ohh <cough> hello good sir, my name is Sadris Coilin and i have followed the river here to this great city looking to step away from my childhood and show the world i am worth more than just a failed inventors son. I come with little news but i wish to use my studies to help this community with both it's pains and joys." Sadris takes a drink of his ale. "Wow this is good stuff, and i'd imadgen the local partakers have trouble in the mornings from such a fine drink." Sadris asks for a cup of water, while waiting rummaged thru his backpack to pull out a packet of salts. "now this my good man will make it so you can drink all the ale you like and not deal with it's cruel mistress in the morning, part of my studies" Sadris pours the salts into the water cup and it begins to fizzle erratically. "This is what i offer to this great realm,a fix to its woes of joy and my talents to protect this lovely community." Sadris passes the cup over and smiles with warmth and joy. "enjoy"

"So you are stepping out in the world. Trying to make something of your life." He smiles and takes another gulp of ale. "Welcome to our great city. I am Constantine Ilfrey, Keeper of Knowledge of Veiðimaðurheim and I may have an offer for you." He finishes his ale and then concentrates on the person in front of him. "I am looking for an assistant. I need someone knowledgeable about the arts of alchemy. Your tasks will be simple. You will take care of the laboratory in my absence and help with brewing. You will be my right hand in there and if you prove useful maybe not only there. In exchange you will be payed adequately, you will take part in some of my travels and you will even get some magic items along the way. I don't want to rush you so I will give you three days to think about my offer. Now let's enjoy another ale." He made a sign to the barkeep and he came with another 2 tankards of ale. "Cheers."

Sadris raises his tankard "I humbly agree my lord Ilfrey, in any way that i may assist you and this realm i will do so." Sadris draws his formula book and his sword "Both my knowledge and my sword are at your disposal . Do with me as you see fit." sadris re-sheathes his blade and bows his head. sadris rummages thru his bag and pulls out another bag of salts leaving them on the table. "Barkeep a gift in good spirits an alchemist kindness pack for the day when someone had too mighty a thirst for your wonderful ale." Sadris leaves the tavern to go look in the forests for more alchemical materials.

After leaving the gates of Veiðimaðurheimian Sadris begins looking for materials. A few hours into his search Sadris finds a lemonberry bush only to find it is outside a boar's den. Quickly discovering a mother boar and her 5 pups Sadris finds himself running for his life. Once clear of the boar Sadris climbs a tree to be sure he lost the boar only to disturb a wasp nest and thus runs and jumps into the river. After hours of trying to find his way back to Veiðimaðurheimian Sadris finds a hollow tree to sleep in during the night. Kept up most of the night by owls, wolfs, and other nocturnal rumblings sadris wakes, tries to recount his steps, recrosses the river as a storm rolls in and it begins to rain. Sadris rubs the bridge of his nose and asks himself if it gets any worse then finds it dose when a badger sees that Sadris is too close to its tree begins to chase Sadris back the way he came in the rain and mud only to find the outline of the city Veiðimaðurheimian 3 hours later. "thank the gods i am home." Sadris returns to the gates of town only to find an increased number of guards and gloomy people in the streets. "i know it's raining but it can't be that bad" sadris says under his breath and walks into the inn for a drink.

For 3 long days Sadris has been unconscious stirring in his coma, his dreams filled with terror of being surprised finding a Hobgoblin with a sword in the side of his chest going thru periods of reliving the moment after trying to assist their hired Orc friend only to have the deed rewarded with a trip to death's door. In what seemed to be the 100th time reliving his fate a woman with a child is in the place of Sadris to where in his dream he pushes the mother out of the way and is punctured into the same position he was before where an old man comes before he passes out and says "for an orc and a mother you don't know you give your life, so it shall be you shall live. When you wake sadris Pharasma has a task for you. Defend those yet to be born, those who need to meet deaths door usher them quickly, and for those who Bastardise deaths embrace, Bring them to me by whatever means necessary including with your own life." The man walks away to stand with the mother and the child and turns into a comet in the sky. Sadris wakes in a bed at Otto's Tavern with 3 broken ribs and without the ability to sit up and gasps "water please.... anyone?"

A few days more of rest and with the help of the barmaid he set his alchemy set together. Sadris begins to brew his mutagen and asks " how long have i been out?" the barmaid Ann responds "about a week, Master Ilfrey and an Orc named F something brought you here and asked me to look after you. I am still a little shocked for my um.. Dutys forced me to take looks and your not um... like any human boy i have met." Sadris looks puzzled "ohh um my mother was a Drow Elf and my Father an inventor who caught her eye. I still have not seen my mother in years, but my father died a few years ago from a mistake with his inventions. Back to what's important, What has happened in my coma?" Ann Blushes "Yha important.... off master Ilfrey had some trouble a few days ago and he requested your "salts?" Sadris nods "i will make some for him soon enough but we cannot go out again without healing kits and i need to apologist to master Ilfrey. I failed him. A tear falls off Sadris left cheek. Sadris mutters to himself "Why am i such a failure" Ann sets a plate of eggs, sausage, and ale "eat, Drink, and get to work Half-elf you owe me" she says mockingly " there are tables to be cleaned and waited upon."

Sadris works his day in Otto's Pub knowing that Ann was in jest but needing to stay somewhere decided to work. While rounding the corner sadris washes the dishes, checked the food stores for mold and insects and returned periodically checking on his alchemy project. I must find lord Ilfrey and report i am ready for his orders.
