Last Alchemist
You seize the woman by the arms, pressing her firmly against the cold stone wall. Leaning in close, you ask in a low, urgent voice, "What are you doing here, and who sent you?"You rush over to the shelves, gathering whatever you can find—caltrops, smoke bombs, and a jar of volatile alchemical powder. Carefully, you spread them across the entrance, preparing for any threats while the woman stands nearby, her expression tense.You seize the woman's wrist and guide her swiftly to a concealed recess behind a false section of the wall. "Hide here and keep quiet," you instruct in a low voice, ensuring she's out of sight before focusing on the approaching footsteps.The healing potion is tucked safely away as you dig into your stash of more dangerous substances. In mere moments, you assemble a noxious potion that will release a paralyzing cloud, ensuring any would-be followers are stopped cold.
