Potion Roulette Quest
Potion Roulette is a quest encounter for a fantasy RPG game. The player is propositioned for a late-night game of roulette in a tavern. The player picks a potion bottle at random from the table, not knowing the name or contents. The other characters at the table do the same, triggering a unique series of events. Once the potion effects have worn off, players can return to the trader that started the game to ask them where they got the potions.

If players find the alchemist, they can provide them with ingredients and equipment in exchange for their experiments. While some potions will go wrong, giving the player negative side effects, some potions will improve as they undergo testing, eventually leading players back to the final versions used in the potion roulette. Ex. when testing the potion Tangled Thought, everyone's speech is gibberish to the player and nothing they say makes sense to anyone else.

"Some batty alchemist at the mage's college. Sold them to me for half the price, couldn't tell me what any of them were. I would have thought they stole them if they weren't all stained hands and singed hair." -Trader

"Strong mood, increased charisma... aha! Of course. It had goldenseal... or hemlock... or maybe it was red sage. I was sure I wrote it down somewhere." -Alchemist
