Step one: Grind the elfroot into a paste...

WHO: Adelaide & Whoever wants to attend
WHAT: Potions & Poultices 101
WHEN: Harvestmere 28, morning
WHERE: The Garden
NOTES: As advertised the day before.



Set Up

As promised Adelaide had a large kettle brewing of a simple black tea. It wasn't much but it was hot and it was bitter- sugar, honey, and cream weren't exactly in ample supply but there were a few jars of donated jam and honeycomb donated by the kitchens and patients. Her own supplies for potions and poultices are laid out on a makeshift table. To one side her apprentices finish writing out and folding instructions- basic recipes for healing poultices, salves, potions- and the principles behind simple healing spells. If you could throw a fireball, you could heal a cut. Anything more complicated took greater study but the basics? Should be well known.

Behind and looking somewhat uncomfortable but, well, present, Bruce stood minding the bundles of herbs, handing out what was needed. While not a mage the surgeon was trustworthy and, honestly, needed to get out more.

During

It was simple enough. Adelaide went over the information on the cards handed out by her apprentices, demonstrated the proper techniques for grinding, mixing, layering the poultices and brewing for potions. They did not have as many kits for the brewing as they did for creating poultices, but they should have enough for those with an interest to learn or to help. After going through those Adealide would motion the mages that wished to learn more of basic healing off to one side to walk them through the theory, using some of the not quite so injured patients to demonstrate. Volunteers, all- she was careful in her instruction and thorough above all else- the last thing they needed was anyone getting injured from an attempt at healing.

After

Packing everything away in the afternoon to return to her tent, Adelaide was available for further questions, commentary- or criticism if something seemed poorly done, presumptuous, or overly curt.

Yeah.

[Well that had gotten a lot darker than he wanted.]

Sooo. Can I do anything for you if you're just here to watch?

[Moving onto lighter topics is good. Bruce shakes his head at the offer, giving a smile.]

I can manage myself, don't worry. Thank you for the offer, though.

Well... then I suppose I have taken up enough of your time. I'm supposed be helping with making potions and poultices.

[He chuckles lightly. Last thing they'd want was to make Lady LeBlanc upset for slacking off.]

It was good talking to you, Bruce. Perhaps we could talk again soon?
amygdalae: the alternative is getting angry (this is me trying to be nice)

Of course. [He replies with an incline of his head.] I'm sure we will meet again, Samouel.
