You help Kenga to his feet and he leans unsteadily against the counter. He is bruised and dazed from the fall, but no bones are broken and he counts himself lucky to have survived his mishap intact. He thanks you profusely for your assistance and apologises for his clumsiness.
‘I’d like to give you a gift,’ he says, meekly. ‘It’s the least I can do to repay your kindness.’
He reaches below the counter and retrieves a small wooden box with a hinged lid. He releases its brass catch and opens it. Inside are three stoppered glass vials, each with a label identifying its contents.
‘Please, dear sir, choose any one you wish.’
The box contains the following potions:
- Laumspur (will restore 4 ENDURANCE points when swallowed after combat)
- Tazheng (a powerful anti-venom)
- Tincture of Sabito root (this potion enables the human body to extract oxygen from water through the skin, permitting anyone who swallows it to ‘breathe’ underwater)
You may choose one of the above potions or you can politely decline Kenga’s offer. If you accept one of these potions, remember to record it on your Action Chart. They are all Backpack Items.
You are anxious to return to Anseng and so you bid Kenga farewell and leave the tavern.
