Mari

ID:12833 CD: 2 Materials: 32 Mari sighed, clearly agitated at her previous faux paux. It was enough agitation to cause her to knock over her cauldron of bubbling salve as she was cleaning around it. "Oh for f**k....screw this..." She muttered, as she shook her arm - the salve had landed on it, and she was covered in a minty green ooze. She started wiping it off her arm and then the bench. Mari was pissed and a part of her just wanted to up and leave - but her meticulous trait just wouldn't let her, not until the entire bench was pristine and clean once more.

ID: 12832 CD: 4 Materials: 33 As Mari came back to her bench she realized something; something that she did all too often yet STILL managed to find a way to have it occur to her, at least once a day. She left the damn burner on - this time she burnt a hole right through her pot. "Really? Mari?" She asked herself as she picked it up, peering through the blackened hole. "Just once I'd like to have this not happen..." She grumbled. "But noooo you gotta cleaaaan as you goooo seriously Mari - can't it kill you to leave it till the end so this DOESN'T happen?"

ID: 12831 CD: 6 Materials: 34 Mari realized that her previous attempt at making Soothing Salve yielded enough produce to create a second vial. She had added too many ingredients to the first batch. That was of no concern to her. She was easily able to bottle this lot up; in a way - it was two for the price of one. Mari stood, giving a small yawn. She was just over halfway through her crafts for the day. Mari swooped up the crystals and salves she had worked on and placed them on the shelves before plonking herself back down in front of her crafting bench.

ID: 12830 CD: 6 Materials: 35 Mari didn't like overworking herself; or burning herself out by repeatedly making the same item over and over again. That was a sure fire way to fail. So, taking a quick reprise from her healing Crystals Mari decided to make another 'Soothing Salve' she only had the one in stock; and again - wanted to slowly bring all of her current potions, crafts and crystals to a good, round number of 5 per item. Soothing Salve had its uses; and it was minty fresh! Surely someone would buy it. Perhaps someone would want to try calming honey, but are concerned by its ef

ID: 12829 CD: 10 Materials: 36 Placing the first Crystal to the side; Mari figured she may as well create another - she would like to have at least 5 in her store stock and inventory at all times. She held onto three herself - but wanted the shop good and ready for when those participating in the boss battle came her way. In a sense, Mari was concerned that no one had bought anything yet. The boss battle was only a little over a week away. Mari deftly created another Recovery Crystal; utilizing her clear quartz and various other healing elements such as honey, yellow butterfly wings a

ID: 12827 CD: 10 Materials: 37 It was a new day, and a new day meant new crafts; Mari hadn't heard much from Azide; and was slightly concerned by his silence- was he not taking the preparation for battle seriously? Mari was now a little short on Recovery Crystals - having sold one to Baldur, and using one on Syo, since he foolishly attempted to fight someone three times his level. Mari deftly, and efficiently crafted the crystal. This was like child's play to her.

ID:12760 CD: 5 Materials: 38 Mari gave him a small wave as he left; placing the Col away in her inventory. Now that he was gone...she pulled out the paper bag that held the buttery croissant. Thanks to him, the croissant basically was paid for. She had earned back the Col she had spent that day, Mari chewed thoughtfully on the croissant. It was still warm, and oozing with a golden buttery tang. Mari allowed her eyes to briefly flutter close as she realized how much she missed the taste of such things. One she had eaten it she was ready to craft again. Mari wanted to try something n

ID:12754 CD: 2 Materials: 34 Her last craft of the day was a failure; Mari kept glancing over her shoulder at her customer - who had yet to make a decision on the health crystal; and it began to unnerve her - she didn't like it when her back was turned on others. Her constant glancing over her shoulder caused her to burn the herbs she had in the water. She cursed under her breath and decided that was enough of that today. She turned back to face Baldur, addressing him once more. "So 5 Materials will do for you?"

ID: 12753 CD: 11 Materials 34 Mari decided to go back on track; crafting up damage mitigation or weapon enhancements - those she wouldn't limit to the battle - but it would be useful in the battle. She had made potions of the same caliber - but had yet to try making crystals. Which would be far, far more useful in battle. Mari attempted to make a crystal version of it - and was successful. She gave a wry grin. Happy with her achievement as she placed that too, to the side. Name: Thick skinned Crystal II Rank Uncommon Effect: Damage Mitigation Increase (Crystal): Adds +1 Damage Miti

ID: 12752 CD:11 Materials: 35 Mari decided to try a different concoction. She had healing crystals, potions that helped increase damage and armor - crystals that healed the entire party, and an array of interesting and perplexing potions that addled the mind with an array of various illusions, dreams, and emotions. But Mari decided to try something different; to make a crystal that increased health. She started with the same process she had with the health Halation crystal - but with a minute difference - rather than adding the yellow butterfly wings she added blue; and - unfortunately

ID:12751 CD: 3 Materials 36 Mari sighed; as she decided to make a new item; at her current rank she was able to make a special crystal that would reset her crafting attempts for the day - and she wanted to try it: and use it to make up for her lack of crafting earlier. However - she couldn't seem to get it right and was left with a foul smelling black sludge. "Sorry 'bout that." She called out to Baldur over her shoulder, as she threw it in a basket under the bench. She would attempt to salvage it later.

ID: 12750 CD:10 Materials: 37 Mari turned back to her crafts; and started working again; on yet another recovery crystal; she knew that Azide was working on recovery items, but Mari felt uncomfortable having little in stock; after taking some for herself. She had hoped that those who will be participating in the battle come in and buy some crystals for themselves...they would most certainly need it. She would be very pissed if people just expected free hand outs. She finished yet another crystal and placed it to the side, every so often she would glance over her shoulder to check in on B

ID: 12749 CD: 12 Materials: 38 "Excuse me a moment..." Mar muttered, whilst she let the man decide what he wanted to do she decided she would craft another crystal; specifically to replace the one that he had bought - with quick deft hands she placed the crystal holder into it's place on the alchemy bench - over a low burning bunsen burner flame - she then placed a clear quartz into that. She set a drip of pure water onto it; and started adding various ingredients; honey, yellow butterfly wings - a sparkling dust - just to name a few. There was a puff of golden smoke and Mari placed it t

Mari scratched her cheek; it seemed he was interested - but couldn't pay the extra material. Mari was a hard ass, a shrewd business woman, but she also knew that some business was better than no business. "I don't know you - but I think you folks in Azure got major screwed over - so I guess I can ignore the 'tax' this time." She said with a wry grin. Bringing up the menu to charge him 5 Materials. "You are very insistent - so I assume whatever it is ya got goin' on its important." Mari added, as she sat cross-legged on on the floor behind the low counter of her store.

The man frowned, which was to be expected - he had just been told that if he wanted any sort of healing item he was, to put it in its simplest terms; sh*t out of luck. His best bet would be to go to a merchant and purchase health potions; which weren't as strong - and generally took a longer time to use. He turned to leave but paused - asking if he could just get one whilst paying for some materials. "I generally ask for 5 materials for the 'Health Halation' crystal, but I am going to tax you an extra material, since there is a boss battle on." Mari shifted from out behind the counter; headin

Mari was a tad grumpy; she had missed two solid days of crafting. That was a total of 12 possible items for her shop. Still...she couldn't help being tied up in other matters. Glowing green eyes looked up; as she heard a lilting hello - wavering with uncertainty. She raised an eyebrow as the dark haired youth then apologized. Was it because he had seen her mishap earlier? Who knew. "Hello." Mari said in a calm voice as she forced the corner of her lips up into an unnerving smile. "I do have some." She paused, her eyes flashing to the guild symbol next to his health bar, "But not for you. I kn
