Well actually the first thing I thought of was how funny my breakfast looked after a few hours in the stomach, um never mind. Anyway I did actually attempt to re-attune some shavings of one of my samples to the proper dragonmarks using a few flakes from my own skin. The results weren’t quite what I hoped, the finished solution had but a fraction of the power of the raw dragonmarks and didn’t grant me much in the way of power when I drank it, but if one of the unmarked were to imbibe it, it should grant them resistance to the insanity inducing effect of the raw marks until they’d burned the potion out of your system. I’d estimate that it’s give you about oh, 24 hours or so from entering the caverns. Of course I never got a chance to test it on anyone but myself so I’m not really sure what the effects would be, but we must all take the odd little risk for science eh? I put the remaining vials in safe number 3 in my laboratory (You can never have to many safes, not when any peeping schoolboy, defecating pigeon or door-to-door evangelist could be an agent of the Technocracy). Don’t worry I had those safes built to withstand a fireball, a little house fire will barely scratch them; If you can find them that is. The combination is 123456. Help yourself to them but for the love of the Host don’t let anyone from another dragonmarked House drink them! I have no idea what effect mixing marks would have via potion but… well don’t.As for hiring you… well if you could retrieve some fresh samples so that I actually have something to show to the Twelve I’d happily compensate you generously with what little I have left of mummy’s grant. I could give you 50 gold each for a sample of a dragonmark from the cavern entrance, just cut out as much of the rock as you can and stick it in the box, don’t worry there’s more space in there than its dimensions would suggest, just don’t store anything you actually plan to use once the potion wears off in there with it. If you could find one of the bigger dragonmarks further in then that would be another 50 each. Of course judging by the increase of size and complexity of the dragonmarks as we went further in I’d theorise there’d be at least one more mark corresponding to a greater pure mark, if you could find that that would be another 50 and then there’s the possibility of a… well let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Given the loss of my lab I can’t really offer you anything up front, but I’ll happily lend you anything you can salvage from the wreckage.”[/sblock]</blockquote>
