Also here is the relevant portion of he SRD I was trying to use to identify the potion.  Identifying PotionsIn addition to the standard methods of identification, PCs can sample from each container they find to attempt to determine the nature of the liquid inside. An experienced character learns to identify potions by memory—for example, the last time she tasted a liquid that reminded her of almonds, it turned out to be a potion of cure moderate wounds. I rolled a 15 alchemy check to see if my experience there could help me ID the items tastes/smells etc.  Also I did earlier cast Detect magic and concentrate on the items in the box so I should have an idea of the school of magic associated with the potion and each scroll.   Thanks....[/sblock]</blockquote>
