== The Accident ==

Potentia then tried to brew a potion of harming in the cauldron. He added ingredients as he normally would to the cauldron but as he went he noticed the cauldron begin to bubble in a way he had not seen before. He leaned in close to look deep into the cauldron, and then bang! An explosion that shook the mountain knocking solid rock loose. Nearby druids rushed to the room the cauldron and Potentia were in. As they rounded the corner they were shocked by what they saw. The hallway which had been carved out and was solid stone was scorched, smoke bellowed out of the room Potentia had been in. The thick wooden door to the room was turned completely to ash and the stone around the door was cracked. They rushed to the doorway to help Potentia and looked in to see the room destroyed. Fire was everywhere and solid stone had been completely destroyed. The cauldron was in the same spot as it had been sitting atop a cracked pillar of stone. Even though the room was cracked and scorched, the cauldron looked untouched. Not a single new scratch was on it.

 

 

The druids looked around the room for Potentia and saw him lying deep in the crater created by the explosion. They rushed down to help him and as they got close to him they saw how badly he was hurt. His skin had been burned away and he laid there bleeding heavily. You could see flesh and bone and both had holes in them. The druids took off their robes and wrapped him in them and carried him out of the crater and room. They carried him through the mountain as he screamed in pain until they arrived at the medicine room. The druids used all the healing potions they had but nothing helped Potentia. As they ran out of options one of the druids grabbed a Potion of Pragma. The druids argued over this as they had not done enough testing on the potion to have a strong enough understanding of it but it was decided that it was his last hope.
