Alchemy!

"Goma can fight! Goma help fight, but Goma also make things for Yoo Lee Ah, Goma make many good things!" Goma says excitedly, "we go to Goma work place and Goma take things, make other things!" Goma says nodding and practically vibrating with excitement.

"This path will take you to the deep caves, there you'll find the homes of the Dark Elves, The Driders and other creatures that live in the deep places, the other path will take you into the deep woods, home of the fairies," Magritte explains. Afterwards Yulia, Goma and Cherchiel head over to Goma's workstation. Yulia hands her the bag of ingredients. Goma looks through it and seems pleased.

"Goma make good things with this! Goma can make explodey ball, healy juice, mind healy juice, strong time juice, plague juice, plague healing juice or fun time gas ball!" she says and Cherchiel and Yulia merely stare at her for a moment and then Yulia seems to try and puzzle through this.

"Grenade? Health potion, Mana potion, adrenaline? Poison maybe? Antidote and... Aphrodisiac grenades?" she suggests and Goma shrugs.

"Maybe? Don't know those words,"

"You can make all of that from those ingredients?" Cherchiel asks in disbelief.

"No... Can make one of those, 1 explodey ball or 4 healy juice or 4 mind healy juice or 1 strong time juice or 2 plague juice or 3 plague healing juice or 2 fun time gas balls. Will make what Yoo Lee Ah asks for!" Goma explains.

Yulia nods, "I'll let the voices decide, for now... We need to go see Dahlia again it seems," she says and the group go to find Dahlia. Yulia seems scared to approach now, but does so.

"Welcome back," she says, her previous friendly demeanor returned.

"What can you tell us about the mark?" Cherchiel asks and Dahlia smiles.

"The mark of the abyss means that the Tower Below knows you and will try to get you. Demonic entities and bargains will plague you from now on, there is no way to remove the mark. Your best bet is to fight fire with fire and make use of the powers that will be offered to you, without giving in to the dark side you will not be strong enough to protect yourself against the things that will be coming for you, things worse than poor Ash Medai," she responds.

Yulia seethes at her words, "How can I trust you? You work with the Tower Below don't you? Why should I believe you're not just trying to trick me into doing exactly what they want me to do?" Yulia asks and Dahlia grins.

"You can't, but I suppose in time you'll see. You'll need my power and eventually you will be willing to pay any price for it," she says with a dismissive wave, "speaking of... would you like anything?" she asks her friendly demeanor immediately returning again.

Yulia grits her teeth, "a support spell..." she agrees and Dahlia nods and then steps out from behind her desk and approaches Yulia. Yulia hesitates, standing in place as Dahlia reaches her and then in one move slides a hand behind Yulia, grabbing a handful of her ass and pulling her in close as her other hand slides Yulia's mask out of the way, Dahlia's lips pressing against Yulia's own, making Yulia's eyes widen. Dahlia's tongue pushes into Yulia's mouth and Yulia's cheeks become flushed as her eyes narrow to half lids, Dahlia's hand squeezing her ass teasingly before she pulls back, her long prehensile tongue remaining in Yulia's mouth before slowly retracting back to Dahlia's and Dahlia steps back as Yulia is left blushing and breathing heavily. A book appears in her hands. The title is Heal. Yulia is too stunned at the moment to do anything, her eyes visibly watching Dahlia's swaying ass as she sashays back to her desk and then sits down behind it, breaking the spell. Yulia coughs and then quickly puts back on her mask.

"Hmm... It's another heal spell... If you use it it'll likely upgrade your heal to an even stronger heal, or as one of the voices suggested earlier you could give it to me so I can learn Heal?" Cherchiel suggests.

Yulia looks thoughtful.
