Apprentice Alchemist tells you, "Hello! My master in Glenden Wood, Tiffany Comfore, has sent me out into the world to participate in the great Mission - encouraging the young people of Dereth to embrace a life of artistry!"
The apprentice coughs quietly.
Apprentice Alchemist tells you, "If you bring me an example of your craftsmanship - say, a frost infusion - I will reward you with a token of encouragement."
Apprentice Alchemist tells you, "Um, we're not rich yet, though, so I'm afraid I can only reward you once a week."
