*Up ahead on the snowy main pathway rested singular Two-Horse Cart, a bit off the road by some trees. The two horses were currently on a post not far away eating some revealed grass on the ground. But slightly more importantly the cart was shaking and rumbling... And is that smoke coming out of it? Unclear, but what was certain was the sound of a very dismayed female inside of the cart moving around quickly making the whole cart shake with intensity*
Herbert
*A pair of wolf pups wrestled amongst themselves within the snow, one of the two letting out a loud shriek upon being tackled over. The third wolf pup would follow just behind, his tail wagging excitedly as his nose pressed against the air. Something similar to that of smoke seemed to reach his nostrils and with it, his tail would grow still. Terrel would continue on his way, finding himself distracted by the road ahead only to be suddenly disrupted as he caught sight of one of the pups diverting from their normal course to head over to the cart.*"Floof."*He'd call out in warning. 

From beneath his mask he could make out the small fumes of smoke coming from it with a pair of horses tied up not too far away. Part of Terrel figured the horses to be alone, however, that thought was instantly disproven as the sound of a female's voice seemed to exit the cart, alongside it shaking and rumbling. Terrel raised an eyebrow in a look of question as he made his way over, coming to stand just a small distance away from the cart.*"Hey, if you're planning on burning the whole cart down, usually you'd want to be on the outside of it."*He'd say in expecting a response back. At least it would confirm that someone was still in there if not already burnt to a crisp.*
Sheryl
*Inside Said cart was young but* **Mostly** *Skilled alchemist Alma whitiker running around quite frantically within the small Cary, coughing slightly from the smoke inside, but continued to work hard on her obviously failed but not ready to dispose of combination of materials as she frantically added more and more liquids to it, trying to get it to calm down before gulping hearing the sound of somebody outside*

"O-oh haha! Thanks Im uh... Just having some minor difficulties cooking food, it's really no big deal! I'd just recommend standing possibly far enough away to not hear my voice to be saf- oh... That's not supposed to happen" *She'd peek her head out the cart door with a wide smile, her long red hair tied up neatly atop her head a large pair of goggles over her eyes as she looked the man up and down carefully and making a "Awww" At the dogs before quick returning inside the cart, a quite large* ***POP*** *Could be heard before it becoming more frequent like the sound of popcorn... Although this was not a nice treat, within a few minutes the girl would burst out of the car holding a large glass bottle filled with a extremely volatile green liquid before tossing it into the snow quite a distance away, the bottle exploding acid dissolving everything around it including a tree, it falling over shortly afterwards*

*And there stood Alma, removing the large goggles from her eyes wiping her brow as she tapped her chin* "Hmmm final report... To much volatile liquid and not enough acid... Result almost certain death for Carn, Jace, Alma, and random bystander, along with certain destruction of cart... Interested"
Herbert
"Minor is an understatement-"*He'd say with a snort as he was hit with the smell coming off the cart. At Alma's warning, Terrel could only find himself managing to take a step back before the woman would peer out at him. His other two pups would slowly make their way over to him, attracted by all the noise coming from the cart and before Terrel could say anything, Alma had vanished away once more.*"Welp she's dead..."*He'd say, his words soon being followed by a loud pop.

The Elf would wait a few seconds, listening out for any sign of the woman still being alive. Surely enough, Alma would burst out of the cart with a strange green vial in her hands, forcing Terrel to have to take a step back as she would cast it out and in turn leaving it to shoot out acid and burn away everything it touched. Terrel stood there, staring over towards where the tree once was in seemingly stunned silence before he'd eventually gaze back towards Alma who he couldn't quite tell if she was talking to him or herself.*

"Call me a random pig instead. It would make much more sense to explain how you'll ended up with extra pieces of bacon by the end of the day."*He'd say, before looking back at the acid then Alma once more.*"That isn't going to spread all the way over here is it?"
Sheryl
*She waved her hands* "Oh no no nooo, it won't spread, it will simply just go down down down down down until it looses its PH volatility! Then it will stop and most likely dissolve and or cause Long lasting effects on this ecosystem of forests by melting the roots of trees... And oh my that was a terrible place to dump acid..."

"But worry not! You will not become bacon today! And your adorable dogs will not become carbon dioxide from being melted!" *After quickly scribbling down the experiment Alma would spin completely to face the man with a pig mask offering out what used to be a gloved hand, but was now nothing more then leather scraps* "Alma, Alma Whitiker!Full time Alchemist for hire! Wonderful to meet you "Random pig..." As you called yourself! And by the way I loooooove your dogs"
Herbert
"...Right."*He responded dubiously to her explanation, undoubtedly not following what exactly she was on about. His wolf pups would mill around his legs, the darker grey one letting out a bark at Alma from the safety of his hiding spot behind the Elf while the older white wolf sat down at Terrel's side, leaving the third smaller wolf pup to cower away completely from sight. With Alma introducing herself and holding out a hand to shake, Terrel would simply gaze at the burnt pieces of leather, figuring there was probably a 50% chance he could still lose his hand to it, though with her explanation, probably after several years.*

"Terrel Bales... Mercenary for higher."*He'd respond before glancing down at the wolves by his legs with Alma bringing them up.*"They're wolves, just got the duo of them from Salvania."*He'd explain, gesturing to the two grey pups behind him.*"They're... Ehm... Still in training..."*Terrel would say, glancing back towards the cart and the mess created from it.*"Alchemist you say? Do you usually blow up everything you work on? If so, I don't think you'll have a cart by the time a customer comes around... Or horses for that matter."
Sheryl
*She'd shrug as she lowered her arm, once at her waist the glove completely dissolved completely fell apart, A small amount of acid burning through the ground as she moved her foot Slightly* "Heh, whoops... Those were my acidproof gloves... Looks like the concoction kinda worked... In a way" *She'd shake her head*

"Oh nice to meet you Terrel! And yes yes my apologies" *She'd lean down to look at the dogs* "How could I mistake you glorious predators to your completely inferior genetic offspring" *She'd stand back up looking a bit offended* "No I don't! It's called the scientific method! Science doesn't always work the first time! You need mistakes to grow better! And in a way it almost worked... Hmph... In actuality I haven't had a custom in quiet a while... But not because of my dangerous potions! I just recently started experimenting with combat potions... I sell nornal onws... That don't explode"
Herbert
*Terrel watched as the glove fell apart, suddenly more glad he didn't bother to shake it. He'd gaze back at Alma, noticing the offense she seemed to take from his comment. Whatever thing she was trying to make, he doubted it turned out anywhere near what she was hoping, but he still saw use in the simple acid if handled properly, a cruel use to the environment and even more so in combat, but a use was a use.*"The next one will probably be a masterpiece then."*He'd say with a partial grin forming at the jab of her saying mistakes helped things grow better.

The darker grey wolf pup would growl under his breath, backing away from the Alma while the one originally hiding behind Terrel would dare to peek out at Alma as she'd lean down to them. Floof merely kept where he was, his tongue hanging out peacefully while he watched the Alchemist.*"Normal combat potions? Alright, what do you have then?"*Terrel would ask in surprising interest.*
Sheryl
*She'd scoff* "Ha ha, really funny, its not easy making dangerous potions when you have nothing but a base set and for the record I was right on the lip of success! I just simply couldn't kiss it... Alas that's why I'll be trying again once all the most likely toxic smoke clears from my Wagon, next time less volatile liquid and more acid!"

*She'd chuckle at cute puppies growling at her as she walked over to her cart waving her arms coughing a Bit* "Well I got health potions, potions that give you fire resistance, ice resistance... Potions that increases your vitality potions that" *She leans in close* "Make you Basically invisible... Those be my favorites, and potions that make you tougher also make you look more... Appealing, oh oh oh! And a one that makes you resistant to most things, Speed potions, you don't look like a mage but I also got mana potions... And that's about it, my combat potions are still a work in progress... Too unstable as you've seen, any interest you though?"
Herbert
"I'm sure it isn't."*He joked, gesturing to the rest of the cart before finally refocusing on Alma as she began listing out the different types of potions she had. She was right about one thing, he wasn't a mage, far from it actually despite being an Elf. He lifted a gloved hand to his chin, rubbing at it absently as he seemed lost in through towards which one interested him the most.*

"Those potions wouldn't happen to be able to work on animals as well would they?"*It was a rather peculiar question from him, but seeing how many animals trailed around after him, it didn't seem too far out there.*
