Zed

[Rob's been wondering about the Ura for a while now, and finally decided to tag along on one of the visits to them. He also decided to come bearing gifts, and not knowing who else to present them to decides to go straight to their leader.

The man approaching Zed is around 5'9" and broad-shouldered, with long brown hair kept out of his face with a black paisley bandana, a reddish-brown goatee, a thick septum piercing, a ring in each ear, and a glowing-eyed rabbit skull and leg bones on a cord around his neck. He's wearing a green-, black-, white-, and gray-striped tank top, navy blue cargo shorts with stuffed pockets, red high-top skateboard shoes, a dark green backpack, and a sword, and has a bundle in his hands that clinks like multiple pieces of glass bumping together as he moves.

Despite looking like a tough guy who could wreck people's shit in a fight, when he speaks up his voice is low and would be a bit hard to hear if Zed wasn't paying attention.]

Hi, I, uh, I'm Rob. I brought you guys a few things that I thought you could use.

[bastionpc]

[Rob isn't someone that Zed remembers meeting before, so he regards him for a moment before answering.]

Yes? Did you bring more supplies?

[He doesn't particularly like having to rely on others, but this particular group has proven trustworthy, so Zed is not as hostile as he has been before. He still has that gruffness to him, though.]

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

Sort of?

[He opens up the bundle to reveal a collection of small bottles filled with colored liquid, labeled with hand-drawn icons from Skyrim because he has no idea how to write any of the local languages. He points to the different icons as he talks.]

I've brought some potions I made. These ones are healing potions; they can quickly heal wounds in whoever drinks them. These ones give the drinker some extra resistance to poison for one minute; I've noticed that there's some pretty toxic wildlife out there. These ones restore your stamina if you've been exerting yourself or are tired so you can work a bit longer. And these ones will make you invisible for 17 seconds so long as you don't try to affect your surroundings while you're invisible.

[bastionpc]

[That...certainly isn't what Zed had in mind. That said, he's not ungrateful. He hasn't seen such a variety like this before, but tonics and such certainly do exist in his world, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that these kinds of potions would too.]

Those sound quite useful, especially for Skyway explorers like your group. Are you certain that you're alright with parting with them?

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

[Rob nods.]

I've been teaching myself how to make them, so I'll be able to replace them when I get back.

[bastionpc]

...and you have tested them?

[He looks a bit more wary at the words 'teaching myself'.]

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

[Another nod.]

Yeah. Well not the Resist Poison one. I'm not good enough yet to make them as strong as they could be so it's only partial resistance, and since the only way to test it would be to poison myself... Once I can make a Cure Poison potion I can try and see how well it works. I can confirm that it doesn't have any negative effects though. The other ones I know for sure work, so I'm confident that I've done everything right on the Resist Poison potions. I'd use them myself without a second thought.
