Of all the forms of alchemy practised throughout the ages, the best known is the quest to turn base metals into gold. Of course, everyone knows this is impossible. Even so, there's a rumour that an alchemist in the forest has figured out how to do the impossible and has been building up quite a stash of the shiny yellow metal.
After picking up a lead in the local tavern, you think you've worked out the location of the alchemist's house. It's time to pay the alchemist a visit and make a little, er, withdrawal.
After trudging through the forest for a day, you stop to get your bearings and have a rest. You feel like you're getting close.
