Whew! You Chose Blue!
Press play to hear a background tune!
“Hit me with the blue one, old man,” you say as you hand the wizard five gold pieces. He narrows his eyes and looks as if he's about to say something profound, but then he thinks better of it and walks away. You drink the potion and…nothing. It has no odor or taste. Drinking it leaves you feeling somehow empty, as if you've had nothing at all. You wait and wait for its effects to kick in, but nothing happens.
Nothing continues to happen for ten, twenty, thirty minutes. Finally, you ask the wizard, “Wait, what's this one supposed to do?”
He cracks an eerie, knowing smile. “Why, nothing, dear adventurer. It does nothing at all. I use it to lubricate the potion press.”
Your heart sinks as you realize you've been taken for a fool. The wizard laughs and demands you leave his shop.
“Only one potion per customer. Looks like you got yer self a dud,” he says before he, and the table, disappear in a puff of blue smoke.
You played it safe and nothing actually happened. Talk about a downer ending. You turn to the wizard to ask for another chance…but he's vanished. The remaining potions are gone and all that remains is a small wooden sign that says:
OUT TO LUNCH - BACK IN SEVEN YEARS.
You realize all too late that the wizard won't be coming back any time soon, and you'll never get your money back. As you exit the shop, you hear rustling in the back, but when you turn around to see its source, the shop is completely gone.
Bummer.
