Razzil Darkbrew, the Alchemist
"I'm the brains!" "And I'm the brawn!"

Alchemist Set
***********************************************************************
The sacred science of Chemistry was a Darkbrew family tradition, but
no Darkbrew had ever shown the kind of creativity, ambition, and
recklessness of young Razzil. However, when adulthood came calling he
pushed aside the family trade to try his hand at manufacturing gold
through Alchemy. In an act of audacity befitting his reputation, Razzil
announced he would transmute an entire mountain into gold. Following two
decades of research and spending and preparation, he failed
spectacularly, quickly finding himself imprisoned for the widespread
destruction his experiment wrought. Yet Razzil was never one to take a
setback lightly, and sought escape to continue his research. When his
new cellmate turned out to be a fierce ogre, he found just the
opportunity he needed. After convincing the ogre not to eat him, Razzil
set about carefully concocting a tincture for it to drink, made from the
moulds and mosses growing in the prison stone work. In a week’s time,
it seemed ready. When the ogre drank the potion, it flew into an
unstoppable berserker rage, destroying the cell bars and exploding
through walls and guards alike. They soon found themselves lost
somewhere in the forest surrounding the city with a trail of wreckage in
their wake and no signs of pursuit. In the tonic’s afterglow, the ogre
seemed serene, happy, and even eager. Resolving to work together, the
pair set off to collect the materials needed to attempt Razzil’s
Alchemic transmutation once more.
