On his third day back, Alzar encounters an interesting puzzle in one of his books. It is a poem, and it discusses collecting a set of magical ingredients all after sundown and before dawn the next day. It will enhance their value considerably.
The poem reads:
From the bottom of a grave, a handful of earth
From the hand of a knave, a tankard of mirth
Sweat of a mare, feather and mud
Tooth of a bear, leather and blood
Pieces of gold, copper and electrum
Riches of oil, silver and platinum
Bring a rat’s tail with ring for finger bone
Wing of bat, sail, and sparkling gemstone
Find leaf, bark and root of same tree
Reward the favor and see what will be
Alzar decides to head out tonight and gather the materials as the night falls.
Here in Arjuna it is foggy as the evening rolls in and the sun has fully set. He is in the same district that is run by Bakri.
Alzar crawls out onto the roof of a local inn to get a glimpse of the city and his area of town.
