Apothecary Diary #1

[2mao]

Greetings Corsairs. My name is Maomao - an apothecary working out of Elysium. I've met several of the outlanders for health check-ups, and I'm open to treating any injuries that need looking at, though my specialty is in medicines and poisons.

The reason I'm speaking up is because I'd like to collect more ingredients to experiment with. Rare plants and herbs are always welcome, but more pointedly, I'd like to try aiming for monster parts. As for what parts, I imagine the most likely to be useful would be organs, or any part which a monster uses to channel ether.

I can pay... [ A pause. ] ...not handsomely, but fairly, for anything you can bring me. Of course, I'll also just take donations. These experiments will, naturally, go on to benefit the Corsairs as a whole.

Oh, and if you find any plant monsters, just bring the entire thing. I'll find room for it.

Yes, I'd love to try some. I asked the dwarf chef, but he didn't seem keen on getting me any.

[wontreadthesigns]

Senshi? I mean, he is kind of a protective sort.

[He suddenly snaps his finger]

Oh! I remember, we were both talking about there needs to be a guide for edible plants, perhaps something for medicinal plants might be helpful as well?

[2mao]

There definitely are guides to medicinal plants, but they're not always updated or well organized. Especially for islands that aren't up in the sky, part of the Empire proper.

[wontreadthesigns]

And I suspect, not really illustrated either.

[2mao]

Some of them might be, but they'd be far more expensive. Nothing I've used in my studies at least.
