Councillors, My name is Egon Rosenqvist, and I am a bit of an alchemist. I was there when the Drow threatened our city, and I know that there is no chance we're giving up two hundred free people to those creatures.

If it comes down to a fight, we've got ten days warning, enough time for me to make up a decent supply of choke dust bombs and fire flasks for whatever purpose you'd want to put them to. Flaming catapult munitions spring to mind, for one thing.

If you're interested, let me know. I've established some reserves of the plants I need, but depending on how much Norma stocks, I might need a good amount of stinkweed or oil from somewhere. It would also be best for you collect anything I might provide and store it in a safer place than my pack.

May Lurue give us hope in these dark times, -Egon.
