Lommy's Lab

[Lommy]

"Well..." Lomea sighs and looks around at the mess in her laboratory. The traps were cheated, bottles broken, the pages of some books are drawn out and spread around the floor, covered with drips and dribbles of the potions. At least the cages were still closed and all the poisonous critters locked inside. "VOOOOOOOOLGH!!!!!!" Her angry scream shakens the tower. But that was not Volghs handwriting. Normally he just eats and drinks the stuff but doesn't make that mess. She takes a close look at the trapboxes. They are fine and precisley disabled. The handwriting of a trapsmith, a rogue.... "ADJANAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" A second not less angry scream echoes through the building.

Finally, after some searching and straight glowing looks, the two scoundrels stand in the lab, looking like the innoncent in person. Lomea hands them a bucket and rugs to clean up the mess. "Volgh, you repair the books, and Adjanah you remove the traps. They only cause more mess and it seems i'm not able to keep you or the others out of here. So either i get a wisdom locked magical barrier to keep you lot out, but i think thats quite out off the Thornes budget, or i will have to write a guide. So you won't poison yourself by accident." She flashes a grim smile.

Lomea steps over to her desk, while Adjanah and Volgh start with their work, grumbling and not without further discussions why they have to clean up. On the desk lies the big red book with empty pages she got a few hours ago from the scriber's shop. A book of this format was not as cheap like the bottles for her potions. She has a deal with the inkeeper of the Phoenix tavern for big bottles in exchange for some potions for his little "health" problems. Only the small ones she has to buy from the magical supply vendors. But at least it costs way less then a magical door and might be a good investition for the case she might not be there to help for what reason ever. Like in thoughts she rubs over her left forearm before she takes feather and ink and scribes in big and curved letters on the cover:

"Laboratory and First Aid Guide"

[Adjanah]

*snickers and appologizes*

[Lommy]

Dear whoever dares to enter this lab,

Experience showed me, it's impossible to keep you out. So if you have to take something, write kind and amount of the things you take as well as your name on the list at the door. It might be you who has to suffer or to die, because one important ingredient of the medicine you need is not at stock anymore.

Lomea looks up for a moment and shakes slightly her head pondering if they would do it... Well, at least they got their chance.


This book will give you an overview about the storage system - Yes even if it doesn't look like, there is a system! - so you know how to find what kind of medicine, potion or ingredient.

So do what you have to do, but for your own sake keep this place clean, follow this little rule and be aware of the work you give my by takeing the stuff for fun.

After all, this is no self service lab! If you need a potion, medicine, poison or what ever ask me! That's why i'm here for!

Warning: Don't try to cheat me, i will know who took something!!!

Yours,
Lomea

[Adjanah]

*mutters and gets out her tools, starting on the traps* Serves you right for locking your door in the first place, so I'm curious, I love a locked door, can't bloody blame me...we supposed to be one here... *trails off as Lomea fixes her with a stare and smiles sweetly back* Working! Busy! On it! *salutes and works twice as fast*

[Lommy]

Lomea smirks at Adjanah and starts drawing a kind of map.

First she draws the L-formed shape of the room, then the shelves and amoires standing along the walls and also those dividing the room into small cells. In the different cells she draws her keg, alchemic table, destillery, desk, the bed for her patients and her potted plants she placed neatly on and around this gigantic skull on the floor "Mages" she mutters and rolls her eyes thinking about this monster of a skull. Next she draws the rest of the potted plants and the animal cages and it seems she had spread them randomly in the lab, depending where some space was spare. Finally she adds the struts where her dried herbes and some cages hang and marks the different elements of her lab with numbers.

She looks around and compares what she is seeing with her drawing. Adjanah and Volgh are still working, but that seems to be the only difference to it.

Satisfied with her *Lab Map* she writes a list referring to the numbers she added to the drawing. So it becomes clear every shelf is assinged to a category. There a shelfs with components, poisons, healing material, medicine and so on. The shelfs itself are organized alphabetically. One of the shelfs is different. It is marked with *first aid* and *emergencys* and stands well accessable near the bed. Here are all those things stored, who are needed every day and for the most common wounds. On one board of it are standing jars, with bandages, potions and a piece of paper in it, marked with *Debugging Kit* besides the kits lays a book: *removing Shiat beetles. Read first!*. Those with eagle - like eyes might think, this board is not like the others of the shelf.

She looks up. This part was done. Next step will be to sign all flagons, bottles, jars, boxes, plants, animals and what else is in her lab with their name. It will keep her the night awake but finally everyone will know what to find where... for the case...

Adjanah had left some time ago. Mumbling something about sorting out, what could be used again, and what was broken. She did a great job. There was no trace left, that might have revealed the places, the traps were before. Also Volgh has finished his work and stands now before the shelfes, staring fascinated at a potion that scintillates in all colours of the rainbow.

She smiles. Perhaps... "Hey Volgh! Good work with the books. thank you for your help. Are you interested, how all those potions are named?"

"Me?" He looks at her and blinks.

"Sure, i could use a hand, to mark them all." Smiles at him.

He grins. "Well alright... So where do we start?"

"Right before your nose." She steps over to him, with the ettikettes.

[Volgh]

Volgh speaks up as he arranges the books "Well I simply use Knock or reduce my own size so I can fit in the lab's keyhole..." he groans... "And it's not my fault if your junk just happens to be tasty!" he protests with teary eyes.

[Lommy]

"You definatly have to learn to control yourself." straight looking into volghs eyes.
