"Here are the three ingredients I lack. First, elderwood moss, which I’ve never heard of, but granny says the stuff only grows on the oldest tree in a forest. Second, a specially pickled root called rat’s tail...again, sounds like hoojoo to me. Third, seven ironbloom mushrooms, stunty little things that only grow in dark places thick with metal, a favorite among dwarves, or so I hear."So, the 'what' is the easy part...now, as for the 'where?' Well, for the elderwood moss, there’s gotta be an oldest tree in the vale. Damned if I know where it is, though. The rat’s tail and mushrooms are even longer shots. Way north, toward the mountains, people say there used to live a bunch of dwarves. They’re not there anymore, but I’d bet their forges are. If you can find ironbloom anywhere around here, that’d be your best bet. As for the rat’s tail, who knows? Well...actually... Ulizmila, the witch that lives deep in the woods might. She’s a crafty, mean thing that knows all sorts of strangeness. She might even have one. I don’t know what she might want for it, but I doubt it’d come cheap. My grandmother traded her sight to the old crone for a few pages of what she knew, and that was years and years back, and I don’t know a soul who got any nicer as they got older.”Laurel turns to the wild elf. "You really aren't from around here are you? Darkmoon Vale just isn't a safe place. There's talk of monsters, wild animals, evil spirits...who knows what all? It probably doesn't help that the damn lumber barons are cutting down the darkwood trees like there's no tomorrow...that can't end well." The   herbalist shakes her head sadly. "Anyway, since I do value my life, I've never been further in than the very edge of the wood. And a lot of those who do go further in never come back out."</blockquote>
