I think i figured out where the confusion is from, this is the front page vs the our pm
Grants forbidden insight if the red is consumed VS Consuming the red pill grants passive reality alteration, changing things bit by bit to suit the pill-taker. It can be best summarizes as a big increase to overall durability and huge increase to luck; everything will seem to go the taker's way, or at least be very convenient.

so I think you flipped the colors of the pills in one of the post because the intro's blue pill( limited consequence dismissal ) sounds a lot more like what you sent me in the pm. This might have been a result of me changing color while you where writing that pm or something idk.

Apotheosis

Her first question got more of a “I can tell you later” kind of answer but considering she had effectively asked about their life history she supposed that was fair when there were so many other questions to be answered. The question about parents got some much more useful info, that apparently the goblins went for the whole “it takes a village to raise a child” strategy of parenthood. Well apart from the chief who, considering how much he talked about his son, probably had a much more personal familial relationship with him. She wasn’t sure if that was sweet or hypocritical. She perked up a little because if the village was her family and the chief seems to like her and the rest then that was going to reflect well on the rest of the villagers and then everyone would like her and that was good. She smiled to herself as result of coming up with that wonderful line of logic.

The information about the surroundings had been very useful although she was probably more interested in the fact they were in a forest than most of the other goblins, because a forest meant lots of plants to stick in her mouth. Speaking of which, after a few questions about books and private spaces it became clear that there was going to be a little expedition out through the woods too the town of these human things for books, which she wasn’t that interested in, and tools, which might be useful for harvesting plants. She decided she would go with the chief because going to the forests edge also met going through the forest which had plants which she could collect data on. She was also buzzing with energy and wanted to be out and about, learning how to navigate the woods rather than stuck with Aya the grump in the camp. If the town didn’t look interesting she could always go back with the chief. She jog/skipped after the chief, excited to get outside into the sunshine.

"I’ll come to town for the tools and to find some plants to use my gift on."

As she tried to keep up with his longer strides she realized that during answering knife ear's first question he had mentioned two names without much additional explanation who might have had something to do with their gifts.

"So boss, you mentioned these Knoth and Anekanta divine people. Who are they and what makes one bad and one good?"

I think I may have misinterpreted what the red pills forbidden insight means, I had assumed it would be something like the captain's sleep vision but looking at the wording again that seems like the wrong interpretation. well, only one way to find out what it actually means, so I suppose we shall find that out in the morning.

By the way this rp has been great so far and I am looking forward to the pvp writing contest segment, it should be interesting. Keep up the good work.

@Holy Soldier
2 quick checks, 1 I assume Naija no-longer has the Valkyrie armor as a result of the normal game's events and 2 that she has her 3 items made and available for the tournament

Also maybe you could have someone else GM your chars round? Like me or one of the others who have actual gm experience if they where interested.

War Notes

Althea “Beaky” Clemmons

Appearance:

Name: Althea “Beaky” Clemmons. Also responds to cries of "MEDIC!"

Age: 15

Bio/Summary:

War’s aren't just won by soldiers. Many an army has been felled before they even reach the enemy, struck down by that unseen foe of all humanity. Similarly if the people they are protecting are sick then there will be no supplies to help them carry on the fight. The Clemmons family is something more like an institution who have tasked themselves with thwarting those threats to the nation though the art of the medical sciences. The head of the family, Ambrosia Clemmons, often adopts orphans who have lost their parents to disease and funding the training of those who show promise. As a result these days it is rather common these days to find at least one Dr Clemmons in most hospitals.

Althea is the daughter of Corvus Clemmons, who is one of those who were originally adopted. She had been going through training to become a doctor like her father when it was discovered she had magical talents. She continues her medicine studies and her magic is just as often turned to keeping everyone alive and fighting fit as it is to hurting their enemies. While she enjoys helping people she does perhaps get a little to much enjoyment on inflicting harm upon her foes using her magics.

Vessel: Canus Manus

When dormant her vessel is a silver bangle that is warped around her right wrist outside her suit. When activated it becomes a gauntlet made of a silvery white metal covering that hand, a pale gem is set in the back of the hand. Hazy lines of energy radiating out of it which flows up her fingers when the gauntlet is in use. The gem and lines glow softly in different colors depending on what type of magic she is channeling. If all else fails it gives her a mean right hook.

Abilities:

Her power works by creating round glass chemical filled flasks in the palm of her hand. The more potent the contents, the longer it takes to make.

Green magic: these contain dangerous fluids, these explode on impact showering their contents around.
Recipes:
Sulfuric acid: strong acid.
Sodium hydroxide: strong alkaline.
Flash powder: explosion of light and sound.
Mercury: a flask of which is about as heavy as a brick.

Yellow magic: these contain dangerous gases, they create a small cloud when they shatter, enough to envelop a target. The more dangerous a gas the slower it spreads and the easier it is to escape.
Recipes:
Tear gas: irritating to the skin and eyes .
Noxious gas: what happens when you master the art of making stink bombs.

Red magic: drinkable potions that can provide beneficial effects.
Recipes:
Healing potion: The drinker needs to be stable for healing to work properly, wounds that have been properly treated will fully recover in minutes rather than weeks or months.
Water: self explanatory, first thing she ever formed.
Soup: Sometimes a good meal is more helpful than all the medicine in the world.
Essence of berserk: lets get a little wild. Drives the drinker into a rage for a little bit.

Blue magic: theses are beneficial gases that work the same way as the dangerous ones.
Recipes:
Neutralizing gas: can be specialized to stop the effect of any of her offensive gas, either to entirely remove them or to create a safe zones.

Equipment:

Her doctoring suit is sealed tight against the elements and acts as an extremely rudimentary hazmat suit, keeping her safe-ish from harmful chemicals, gasses and pathogens.
A small bag carrying various mundane herbs, bandages, surgical suture, poultices and other medical supplies that are used to patch up the wounded before magic healing can begin.
A drinking straw for sampling her own concoctions while wearing the suit.
A long knife used to fend off the baddies who get too close along side just punching them.

Trivia/Other:

She is one of the Academy’s best pitchers.
Yes she knows how to make alcohol. Not you can’t drink it, it’s for medical purposes.
Did you know that “Do no harm” isn’t actually part of the Hippocratic oath.
most people don't actually know what she looks like under her hood and mask

gave her a limited chemical selection rather than endless possibilities.
