Last Alchemist
Pulling a radiant decoy elixir from your hidden pouch, you let it glide across the floor, its golden light dancing faintly in the dim room. As the intruder becomes distracted by the artifact’s allure, you creep behind her, poised to either subdue or interrogate her.You lob a compact vial toward the ground, where it explodes into a smothering cloud of smoke that fills the air. The intruder falters, choking on the fumes, as you step forward with a commanding presence and demand, "Speak now, or you'll find breathing is the least of your problems."You grab a frost vial from your collection and launch it toward the intruder. The vial explodes on impact, encasing her boots in a layer of ice that locks her in place. Stepping into view with another potion in hand, you fix her with a cold glare and warn, "Try anything, and this one won't miss."You stay concealed in the alcove, carefully assembling a small alchemical device. With precision, you sprinkle an innocuous-looking powder in a semicircle around the workbench, designed to burst into a dazzling display of sparks if disturbed, momentarily disorienting the intruder.
