A Survivalist's Kit is a scripted herb container. It was introduced at the Bloodriven Village shop, The Herbal Huntsman in February of 2023.

Tier 1

Analyze

You analyze the suede sack and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
The suede sack is a Survivalist's Kit, which is a specialized container for storing healing herbs.  All herbs stack up to 50 by default and maintain the weight of a single dose.  Doses may be removed one at a time from within the sack.  Herbs may be discarded from the sack entirely by PULLing on them.  The sack otherwise functions as a normal container that may be altered, lightened, and deepened per standard guidelines.

Unlocks:
Capacity: 1/5 (50 charges maximum per herb)
Liquid Storage unlock: no
Extractor unlock (requires Liquid Storage): no
Potency unlock (requires Liquid Storage): no

The suede sack is set up with magical-themed messaging, which cannot typically be altered.

The following descriptions may be customized by a merchant:
  - Inner lining description, in "adjective noun" form: basilisk skin
      This should be some form of fabric/leather.
  - Container close mechanism, in "adjective noun" form: feathered drawstrings
      This must end in one of the following: buckle, drawstrings, clasp, latch, toggle.
  - Extractor indicator description, in "article adjective" form: a scale-etched
  - Extractor toggle description, in "article adjective" form: a blue tanik

Current stock: 
None.

You can tell that the sack is as light as it can get, but you might be able to have a talented merchant deepen its pockets for you.

Messaging

Mechanical

Herb Messaging 1: A spicy commingling of cinnamon, ginger, and hot pepper sets your tastebuds alight.

Herb Messaging 2: Warmth blooms on your tongue and spreads throughout your whole mouth, the fiery blend of flavors giving way to a faintly metallic aftertaste.

???: A low thrum and grind of gears sounds from your leather herb kit as the contraption within continues to extract liquid acantha.

???: You adjust an acantha-etched knob mounted just inside the rim of your leather herb kit and, with a staccato ratcheting noise, a scalloped armature rotates along the inner chambers and comes to rest framing the acantha compartment.

Natural

Herb Messaging 1: The complex herbal melange teases at your senses, its vegetal notes mingling with citrus over an earthy base.

Herb Messaging 2: Tannins underlie the verdant medley of herbal flavors with a touch of astringency.

???: You adjust a wave-carved knob mounted just inside the rim of your lacquered hip-satchel and, with a reedy whisper, a glass-enclosed mesh infuser rotates along the inner chambers and comes to rest beneath the ambrominas compartment.

???: Reaching into the depths of your lacquered hip-satchel, you loosen a driftwood plate below the ambrominas compartment and allow its contents to slowly trickle into the infuser, where warm water churns in measured cadence like muted waves.

Magical

Herb Messaging 1: Simultaneously crisp and soothing, a wintry bouquet laced with mint opens your airways.

Herb Messaging 2: A minty tang cools your tongue, the flavor inextricably intertwined with a bracing aroma reminiscent of juniper.
