[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7182624, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN: BEYOND NEW WATER 01 WORK COMMUTE SEGMENT 100 “PASSAGE INTO ELDEEN: PRELUDE PART VII” 7/18/17 RHAAN 3, 993 REGALPORT, LHAZZAR PRINCIPALITIES ZIGLAND, OR ZIGGY…. Even ZIG was known well by the various shop owners and locals. The Changeling pick pocket hated to steal to get by but one does what they must to eat and live. He tried to be fair about it. Whenever possible, he did not knowingly steal from the same person within a year. Though this seemed fair to him, others did not see it that way. One person whom hated being pick pocketed was a Master Chef Talmeo d’Ghallandra. When house Cannith created the Thieves’ Coin (cursed coin that if stolen cannot be discarded and acts as a beacon to anyone holding the ring linked to the coin Creation Schema- Cedious) Talmeo was the first to purchase one in Regalport. As one would expect, Ziggy was the first to discover it as he stole the planted coin from the halfling’s pocket and was later found hiding in an abandoned building. “Why did you steal from me?” asked the serious halfling. “I was hungry.” Answered the changeling. After studying his natural face for a few moments in silence, he asks if he would return the other coins for a free meal. Even though he did not know the halfling worked as a professional cook he agreed. This was the first time Ziggy had ever gone into a restaurant, even more so a top star restaurant in Regalport where the Princes ate. Ziggy stared in awe looking at the cooking tools, magical and standard. His mouth watered at the smell of the spices and slowly cooking food. It was incredible. It was like a paradise. “How did you learn to cook like this?” With a stroked ego, the smiling halfling laughed and told him about his childhood. He grew up in the Talenta Plains. Much of his experience was field research in the beginning. He traveled to the many nomadic tribes. He learned how to identify and prepare spices and certain foods. Soon his knowledge gained awareness and he came to train in Aundair. After mastering the selections of wine and wheats, he traveled to Karrnath. Here he learned of spiced meats and roots. Mhor Holds taught him about strong alcohol and less refined uses of strong spices and flavored mushrooms. Then when he reached the coast he learned about fish and seafood from the villages and even the pirates. “Never assume no one can add to your cooking knowledge because of their race, nationality or class. Many of the “primitive” races have used seasoning in ways never thought of that surpasses the elves.” It was not until Ziggy became a prep cook in Talmeo’s restaurant that he learned of a secret process used. Alchemy. “Alchemy and the use of mixtures of spices are very similar. Most fail but some combinations…. So so so good.” So, Ziggy began to learn alchemy now. It was a good life until a certain young government man came by looking for a pirate named One Brow. [/QUOTE]
