Felspar Is Back With Another Potion Of Alchemy! Its (in Theory)stronger Than The Potion Of Minor Alchemy

Felspar is back with another potion of alchemy! It’s (in theory) “stronger” than the potion of minor alchemy in that it lasts longer and its effects tend to be more severe, but it’s not any rarer since it’s all just flavor, anyways.

Dare: The Glittering Reef: 

“While the dragon may long be dead, there’s more than one predator in these waters. You best be quick if you wish to claim your prize.“

Setup: Generations ago the crystal clear waters of the Ildathan coast ran red with blood, as a terrible archdrake terrorized the trade routes and savaged any merchant ship it caught eyes on. Known to locals as Hullraker, this beast would use its powerful claws to crack open the body of ships to gorge itself on sailors and treasure alike. 

While its a myth that dragons eat gold, they do sometimes devour valuable objects to spit up into their hordes later. This habbit would eventually lead to the drake’s defeat, as a group of clever pirates tired of the drake’s meddling caste a series of golden cannonballs, then hollowed them out and filled them with black powder, and an alchemical compound that would ignite after being exposed to the drake’s insides for some length of time.  Loading up a dummy ship with their deadly decoys and piles of coin as bait, they watched in glee as the drake’s belly exploded mid air, showering the sea with golden shrapnel and sending Hullraker plunging into the reef below. 

The Challenge: Since the time of its death, treasure hunters have paddled out to the glimmering reef in the hopes of  reclaiming a portion of the dragons last, fatal meal. Having stripped most of the upper reef clear of coins. Now after years of plundering only the strongest of divers can make it down to the dark, shark infested shelf of the reef where the dragon’s bones and the bulk of its treasure remains. Tradition is that each diver only takes a single coin, and while one gold piece isn’t much to an adventure, a “drowned queen” (one of the particular printing of coins the pirates used for the bulk of their bait) is a mighty prize among sailors and other folk of the sea, said to confer the luck and cunning of the pirates that took Hullraker down. 

Even a simple looking vial can be a great asset to a young adventurer.

How do you make your content look so much like actual oficial content?

Asking so I can make some myself

I use the Homebrewery for my content (https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/). You can click "New" in the top right corner of the screen to make a new homebrew, and I recommend an account so you can save and share your brews! If you choose "Monster Stat Block" under "PHB" (on the left hand side of the screen) it will generate a random stat block in the style of the 5e creatures. The stat blocks aren't always complete with saving throws, skills, etc., and you need to learn a bit of HTML coding to know how to use it properly, but it's relatively easy. If there is interest, I can share my stat block coding here so you can just copy and paste it for your own creatures! The Homebrewery also has tables, spells, spell list and class tables pregenerated, all in the style of 5e D&D.

I can also recommend the Homebrewery's Reddit page (https://www.reddit.com/r/homebrewery/) for a bunch of resources, including watercolor stains, fonts, and a bunch of other resources.

Hope this answers your question!
