Ancient books are covered in mildew. They often contain minutia of little interest to the brave adventurer.
At first, this book appears to be a book of nothing but records. Materials in and out, like a log book, of receipts. Seems worthless.
A closer look reveals a strange set of ingredients. Each entry contains such oddities as
1 grd Brb D. Horn
20 ct. Ruby
10 d. pwd. G
12 H. Hnd. Teeth
The are grouped in small dates. What could happen if you collected those materials?
Gold Piece Value: 2 gold to a book dealer; 200+ gold to an interested alchemist.


I get Ground Barbed Demon Horn, and Hell Hound Teeth, but what is a ct. Ruby and a d. pwd. G.?
