>YOu'RE RICH AGAIN
YAY!

>Tell him his hat is smoking.
"Your hat is still smoking."

"Yeah I think I'll keep it this way for now."

>Check on your novice adventurer helper. He might've forgotten about his task as adventurers sometimes inexplicably do.
>I bet he ran off on another side quest, the brat.
He's off flirting with some pretty ladies at one of the tables. They're throwing money around though so I guess I can't complain.

>Now get to mixing that fancy drink.
I check the cabinets for drink options. There's far more than I care to count.

"What did you say went into the drink again?"

"Uhhhh, they started with one of those really dark swills in one of those really tall bottles, mixed in a lighter drink, a dash of something from up north, and a glowy thingy. It tasted pretty sweet when I had it."

That's... very specific. Any wild guesses?

>>703692
Read the tag. Start with one of the first two, add a fruit juice, a dash of the x X xx xX xXx xx X bottle, then the glowy stuff. And tell him to have a healer standing by.

>>703699
*right two

The light stuff is probably mead, I'd say the dark stuff is some kind of chocolate liquor, the thing from up north is like, frost wine or something, and the glowy shit is likely unique.

I know of some mercenaries who would pay top dollar for a hat like that.

I know fuck-all about mixing drinks, just make sure it's sweet and strong and has the glowey thing in it I guess.

>>703692
put in some sleepy chemicals

>Read the tag.
It says 'vaguely caustic'.

>The light stuff is probably mead, I'd say the dark stuff is some kind of chocolate liquor, the thing from up north is like, frost wine or something, and the glowy shit is likely unique.
I throw some of all of that into a cup. There's something that's kind of glowing stuck to one of the shelves, so I drop that in too.

>put in some sleepy chemicals
O-okay. There's a box labeled 'sleeping medicine' near the bottom, I sprinkle some of that in.

>And tell him to have a healer standing by.
I motion that cleric from before to come back.

I present the drink. Moment of truth.

"Hmm."

>>703903
Well?

Is that a good hmm or a bad hmm.

If he passes out you gotta give him a room for free cuz you roofied him.

Check for vitals. That 'hmm' could be the sound of the soul leaving the body.

"I'll have whatever he's drinkin'"

>>703954
Is there even any glowy shit left?

Did the first one pay before passing out? Make sure the next guy pays before he passes out.

>>703954
take his wallet

nice

make sure they don't get pickpocketed while asleep it'll look like we were part of it

>>703954
check if his bottle full of x's is still there, and make another batch for him with it. If not just use old recipe also money

Don't put sleeping pills in it this time.

Also, get that guy to a back room before his everything is stolen.

I just sort of throw him into the first open room I could find. I'm sure he's slept in worse.

I mix up another, this time getting the cash upfront. The bright, and unfortunately pungent, display of pyrotechnics seems to catch people's attention and before I know it one after another wants a taste.

The night passes in a blur of one drink after another.

Before I even know it everyone's gone off to sleep, or drunken themselves into sleeping at their tables. I'm completely exhausted, both physically and mentally.

>>704734
Poke sprocket. She's had enough time to sleep

>>704734
Go bug Sprocket.

>>704734
tell sprocket 'am done. if someone needs me, find bedroom'

then go wash up and sleep

Oh don't forget to write down the recipe for the new drink.

Done

>Bug Sprocket
I can hear her snoring from over here. Should I go in and wake her?

Yeah, if you're lucky she'll be like the matrons who are frisky in the morning. Sure, being a regular plaything is a quick way to the grave, but just a side fling once in a while? That can only help.

>>704948
wait, how'd she get to her room from snoozing on the bar? I smell shenanigans.

>>704948
Whine at her through the door.

DO NOT ENTER LAB

>>704948
Let her be. She needs her beauty sleep. Matrons say that is important!

Leave her alone, but check if everything is alright with her. Remove potential hazards to her, like metal or glass objects in her vicinity.

>>704967
We sent her there...

I let her be and return to my room instead. I feel about ready to dump all the gold I got tipped and sleep on it. Anything I should do first?

Looks like the cat didn't follow you into your room.

Do your evening prayers. Also take a bath.

Give two coins to the spider to thank it for giving you that one coin earlier.

Maintain and/or upgrade spider-shrine however seems appropriate. Remind that novice adventurer to clean up the broken glass and so on, like you did on your first day.

Pay tithe to spider-shrine.

Check for cat.

Make one last check to see the lab hasn't caught fire or anything. If she slept through the results of an experiment, either her or the lab might explode.

By the time I'm done with the bath they've already cleaned up the place. I pay them, and they bound off happy to have saved the day.

>Make one last check to see the lab hasn't caught fire or anything.
I take a tiny little peek. Nothing looks like it's on fire!

>Pay tithe to spider-shrine.
>Maintain and/or upgrade spider-shrine however seems appropriate.

I drop two coins and give them a makeshift little statue. They wave their legs around, which I think means they appreciate it.

With a quick prayer I'm off to bed. It's been a strange few days since I've arrived, but somehow I think things may just work out around here. Goodnight!

>>705295
AAAAA IT'S THAT THING AGAIN GETITOFF GETITOFF

>>705294
Silly elf, the spider gives you money, you don't give IT money! You give it... uh... I don't know, things spiders like. Bugs?

Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.

Which shouldn't be a problem with spider watching over you. Lesser bugs beware!
