The Wrong Ingredient
After choosing the wrong ingredient, the PC must make a Finesse Action Roll (11) to add it to the brew. On a success, they add it to the brew. When they do, the flames at the base of the pot flare a bright green as the pot gets too hot and starts to Boil Over.
On a failure, the Brewmaster prevents them from adding the wrong ingredient and they must mark a Stress.
-
Boil Over
All PCs in Melee range of the pot must make a Group Agility or Finesse Reaction Roll to prevent the spillage and place the lid onto the pot to calm it. On a success, the pot is calmed. On a failure, they must each mark a Stress and the Countdown ticks up by 1.
-
Brewing Completed
When the Countdown would reach 0, the potion is ready. This brew creates as many vials of potion as the GM would like to distribute.
