The terrible old man (Open)

[Ibsen's Ghost]

True, although I do like the theme. Alchemy is a subject requiring development. It would need to support the potions we currently have at our disposal. Maybe you could use those to draw ideas from, Catlemur? Perhaps start by speculating where some of the potions come from such as root gall (which looks great and should prove to be a quite important potion).

I disagree with morcroft on the point that the 'terrible old man' has to be 'not all that terrible' (although it's a nice idea) but it could draw from the ideas around us. For example, he may have gained rudimentary knowledge of Bhuru magic and is seeking to development his understanding. Perhaps he is an ex-Mage who has refused the rule of not touching things tainted by Bhuru. Therefore, he may be sought by vengeful Shaman or have a contract out on him for the Shadowscales. Perhaps he is intending to sell his 'products' to the 'Trillium Magnata' (ex-slavemasters) so that they can avoid the horrific backlash of Argonian fury...? Perhaps one of his victims can only be cured by going to somewhere like Kangumabog and begging for mercy at the feet of the statue of Eikkai-Ottul...?

How are you at actually implementing quests, Catlemur? Any experience?
