Master Of None

"Alright, a tour it is. We will finish up in the main offices." Remey jumped over and stood behind the counter. "I had all the shelves moved back here and to the storage room in the back. That will be where all the herbs are stored and displayed. The staff can present them to those who wish to buy at this counter. We will also buy herbs on this counter as well." Remey moved toward the middle.

This counter we will have the general questions, registration for classes, test sign up, and pretty much everything else. I made slots for contracts, forms, and other things we might need. I also talked to the adventurers' guild and they are going to help with the plaques to identify tiers of alchemists./ We are following the exact same format as them and will not restrict membership. It would actually be better if an alchemist was also an adventurer. More rare herbs to come here." The devilish smile Remey had on her face was matched by Trish. They both could see the rare herbs flowing in the future.

"Finally, this section with another storage area in the back is for potion selling and buying. I thought it better to separate the two on opposite ends. It will make things more organized. We also have the employee stairs back here for speed and safety. One thing I made sure of was having the stairs be made very wide. The alchemy building back home was too small and hard to maneuver." All of this was very well planned out. The glimpse Walker had gotten of the inner hall was nothing compared to how it had been organized.

"I want to get some tables to sit out here but I think that might be unnecessary since people might start working. Maybe just benches for the test takers and apprentices to wait at." After nodding her head, Trish looked toward the hallway on the side.

"Where does that lead? I know the stairs are here so…"

"Those are the testing rooms. We have three. One for potion making. One for the herb identification. And another for those trying to become herbalists. I plan to have the herbalists included here too, it will just make the guild better in the long run." When it came to alchemy, herbs would be needed in large quantities. Only a fool would ignore the fact that the alchemy guild would be an ideal place for master herbalists to come as well. Those that could grow herbs would have the chance to prove themselves and become great. Potentially breeding and growing the next best herb for any potion.

"The testing rooms will be the most valuable place for us. We will need to weed out anyone that just wants to float by. I have already looked in to the human alchemy practices and the lack of dwarven alchemy practices. Between all three of our kingdoms, we have those that think alchemy is an easy way to tack up gold and live in luxury. We need to ensure that we have dedicated apprentices." Trish couldn't say it enough. She had passion and did not wish to see passion leave the alchemy profession.

"Ah, so this is the noise. I was working on my lab and how I would want my tools set up when I found another one of those dwarven things and came looking for little Remey. I believe your reputation proceeds you. It is an honor to meet the person who taught so much to a stranger." The old master alchemist hobbled down the stairs the group was about to walk up. He has more than glad to see Trish and introduce himself. The two were sizing each other up while speaking on the herbs that Remey had brought back and their potential uses.

"I think we should head upstairs and show her that thing you made the other day. We have been working on it for some time now." Remey was trying to drop many hints. Everyone but Trish was able to understand what they were thinking.

"Perfect, then up we go." Remey guided them upstairs, "This floor is all about alchemy class rooms. They have everything to make potions easily copied. There are also shared storage rooms between each classroom so that we can more easily share herbs and teach better. But the abs are on the third floor. Each one is separated for the masters while the five largest are for the important figures." The stairs finally ended on the third floor.

The larger rooms were at the end pf the building and also housed small offices which were walled off for the masters to work. "I have a main meeting room at the opposite end of the hall but the lab is more important." Remey walked in to the lab showing off the dwarven tools, herb storage, and multiple cauldrons that the master alchemist had prepared.

"Yes yes, we will have plenty more to talk about but let's show off what we have made."

"Not yet, I want Walker to hear this. Then we can get in to it." Remey turned a little rad as she felt some anger spike up. She wasn't done with her spiel and felt a bit annoyed. The look the old master alchemist and her shared was the same as any father and daughter silently arguing. It was less awkward and more adorable to those watching it.

"The guild will have two master alchemists and two herbalists in charge. I changed the layout a little. The dwarven masters will be in charge of tools since they are better off in that area. The fifth member will be the overall master of the guild. The can be an off system user like me, or someone elected by every master in the guild." Remey had made this decision with the old master alchemist some time again and Trish easily agreed to it. "Now we can show her."
