[Gallivant Manor, Kitchen - 33996] (u8085062)

The expansive kitchen features a large cherrywood counter topped with cotton candy pink marble at its heart, with numerous cupboards, cabinets, and drawers lining the walls. A hammered copper stove sits between marble and wood countertops, and amidst the gleaming cleanliness, lingering bits of cobwebs and crimson stains can be seen. A set of swinging double doors leads out. You also see the Wolfloner disk, a rotten apricot, the hammered silver Meliyara disk, the Whiskeyfable disk, the white Philomina disk, a drink-stained list and a pumpkin-carved sign.

Obvious exits: none

Igges says, "Okay. Opalina is going to finish us up here."

Lithyia nods.

Igges exclaims, speaking to you, "Make us proud!"

Katara turns to face you.

You quietly exclaim, "Ohh it's my turn already?!"

Missoni gazes with interest at you.

You gaze in wonder at your surroundings.

Lithyia nods to you.

Igges nods to you.

You quietly say, "'oh my."

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

Lithyia exclaims, "Remember, no kumys!"

Falvicar turns to you and cheers!

Katara giggles.

Falvicar glances at Lithyia.

Falvicar sticks his tongue out at Lithyia, and lets out with a loud, "Thbtbtbtbt" from his lips!

Lithyia glances at Falvicar.

Lithyia rolls her eyes at Falvicar.

Katara smooches Lithyia on the cheek.

Lithyia grins.

Trallihn says, speaking to Lithyia, "You get the first drink."

Lithyia laughs at Trallihn!

Opalina smiles mysterious as she approaches the cherrywood counter, the dim light flickering over her shoulder.

(Opalina traces a hand along the flask of dark whiskey, feeling the ancient energy within, while the soft, fragrant lemon thyme sways gently at her touch.)

You mysteriously say, "This drink would be no ordinary brew-it will summon the spirit of The Dusk Coven itself, wrapping the drinker in a potent yet smooth embrace, whispering secrets of the past with every sip."

Opalina smiles with a glint in her eyes, pulls out a small cauldron and sets it on the lit stove, filling it with a crystal-clear splash of spring water. She then carefully pours the dark whiskey into the cauldron, swirling it three times to awaken the spirits within. The scent of aged wood and fire emanates from the dark liquid, setting a haunting tone.

(Opalina grabs a bundle of fresh lemon thyme-the herb represents clarity in magic, ensuring the drinker stays grounded despite the haunting undertones of the brew.)

You silkily say, "An incantation," while crumbling the herb into the mixture, releasing an aromatic burst of citrusy earthiness."

Helnora raises an eyebrow.

Opalina smiles a tease toying at her lip as, she adds a handful of bright pink sugar, letting it dissolve slowly, to balance the darkness with a touch of brightness. It lends a lighthearted, playful twist, like a smile flashing in the dark, hinting at the drink s powerful charm hidden beneath its sweetness.

You quietly say, "This orange slice still has a bit of goodness left in it, She uses a small knife and cuts away at the moldy bits then grates what s left into the cauldron. Hints of orange zest blending into the haunted undertones. “It s like carving out the darkness one tiny bit at a time."

(Opalina raises her hand letting Seasalt sprinkle into the mixture, drawing upon ancient, mystical waters-adding a briny, grounding note that anchors the drink to the natural world. The salt acts as a purifier, warding off the spirits more malicious intent, ensuring that whoever drinks it remains in control.)

Wolfloner nods to you.

(Opalina adds ,as the final ingredient-the surprise unknown item, unveiled, it reveals itself as red-orange Ghost Peppers, their fiery essence swirling into the concoction. The intensity of their heat merges with the dark whiskey, bringing an electrifying kick. Opalina channels her inner power to contain the flames within the drink, taming the spirit of the peppers.)

(Opalina waves her hand over the cauldron, and as she does, a low mist rises, giving the impression of a drink summoned from the depths of a forgotten realm. She dips a silver goblet into the cauldron, drawing out a drink that swirls with an eerie, dusky purple hue, accented by flecks of glimmering pink sugar like distant stars in a twilight sky. The drink steams softly, as if it s alive, the spicy aroma blending with hints of orange zest and lemon thyme and sea air.)

(Opalina presents the drink to the judges.)

You recite quietly:

   "I present, "The Coven's Embrace""

Wolfloner smiles at you.

Spookia applauds.

Falvicar applauds you.

Starletdawn applauds you.

Katara applauds you.

Starletdawn smiles.

Spookia says, "Now that doesn't look that bad at all, since you cut all that mold away."

Spookia nods.

You quietly say, "Sorry I got a little nervous at the end."

Missoni applauds you warmly.

Katara gives you a friendly hug, and you detect the faint scent of sheer white orchids, mimosa flower, linden honey, and lush red wine around her.

Igges says, "The ghost peppers must be a nice spicy touch to that."

Fluffybits claps her paws at you.

You nod at Spookia.

Falvicar whispers, "I got your back my Darlin."

Spookia says, "We all do, dearie, no worries."

You quietly say, "I wanted you to be able to try it."

Wolfloner says, speaking to Spookia, "Excellent observation."

Meliyara applauds you.

Spookia takes a glass off the counter and takes a hearty sip. Her face immediately goes white then red as she sets it down.

Spookia says, "Oh my...hot, spicy."

Spookia says, "My tongue."

Katara giggles.

Kialeigh begins chuckling at Spookia!

Katara says, "You need milk."

Katara chuckles.

Kialeigh applauds you.

The dim aura fades from around Wolfloner.

Wolfloner begins to breathe less deeply.

The dully illuminated mantle protecting Wolfloner begins to falter, then completely fades away.

Falvicar winks at Spookia.

Igges says, speaking to Spookia, "I never saw a ghost turn red before like that."

Philomina squeakily encourages, "Use the bread!"

You quietly whisper to Spookia, " As the drink touches your lips, the dark whiskey delivers a smooth, smoky start that rolls over your tongue like velvet shadows. The lemon thyme adds a crisp, refreshing brightness that quickly gives way to the deep, warming heat of the ghost pepper. It's a slow burn that intensifies with each sip, but the sweetness of the pink sugar balances it beautifully, while the seasalt brings a clean, lingering finish. The drink leaves you with a feeling of both power and calm, as though you've just tamed a wild force of nature."

Igges takes a quick sip of the drink. He exhales suddenly, fanning his mouth with his hand.

Igges exclaims, "Spicy!"

You quietly whisper to Igges, "As the drink touches your lips, the dark whiskey delivers a smooth, smoky start that rolls over your tongue like velvet shadows. The lemon thyme adds a crisp, refreshing brightness that quickly gives way to the deep, warming heat of the ghost pepper. It's a slow burn that intensifies with each sip, but the sweetness of the pink sugar balances it beautifully, while the seasalt brings a clean, lingering finish. The drink leaves you with a feeling of both power and calm, as though you've just tamed a wild force of nature."

Kialeigh applauds.

Spookia says, speaking to Philomina, "Not touching that bread. It is too moist."

Philomina giggles at Spookia.

Opening the top doors of her jack-o'-lantern basket, Kialeigh gazes inside and makes a show of breathing in the scent of the food stored within.

Spookia asks, "My goodness is that everyone already?"

Spookia says, "You are all so skilled."

Giogionni nods at Spookia.

Philomina nods in agreement.

You quietly whisper to Fluffybits, "Wanna taste ?"

Fluffybits nods to you.

Giogionni exclaims, "Dibs on any leftover absinthe!"

You quietly whisper to Fluffybits, "As the drink touches your lips, the dark whiskey delivers a smooth, smoky start that rolls over your tongue like velvet shadows. The lemon thyme adds a crisp, refreshing brightness that quickly gives way to the deep, warming heat of the ghost pepper. It's a slow burn that intensifies with each sip, but the sweetness of the pink sugar balances it beautifully, while the seasalt brings a clean, lingering finish.
