Chapter Text
The taps of talens could be heard through the whole tower as a certain pesky bird tiptoes up the stairs, looking for a room to set up one of his notorious prank of the day.
After some searching, he backsteps across a beautifully carved door frame with a bubbling room inside. Stepping in, he's hit with the smell of shrooms and sulfur. Bubbling cauldrons come into view, each wall stacked high with splash potions trembling with every step he takes.
He walks closer to a pretty purple cauldron with a twitch in his nose.
'He can't smell it?'
Leaning closer, he's practically sticking his nose in the mixture when it pops; a single bubble splashes on his face burning hot potion stinging his cheek. As he stumbles back, slightly dazed from the pain, he hits a shelf. It shakes violently, a single splash potion smashing down onto his head causing him to black out.
Rendog, Mumbo, and Bdubs hear a smash somewhere in the castle, Rendog cutting their meeting short starts sprinting down the stairs, Bdubs following suit. Mumbo curious,starts following the king down the stairs to a moderately impressive carved door frame. Without looking, Ren kicks the door down while Bdubs and Mumbo trail behind. There past the corner, unconscious is Grian, broken glass surrounding his head. His hair is lightly soaked with blood, the crimson fluid leaking onto the floor.
Ren gets closer and sniffs his head, "Shoot he's enchanted. Bdubs, what's he got?"
Bdubs shuffles behind the werewolf, picking up a shard of glass to get a glimpse of the label. His eyes go wide before he looks like he aged a decade in mere seconds.
"It's…It’s the feral poison fricken fracken frainked Foxfur!" Bdubs yells, Mumbo backing up a bit.
"Woah..! Easy, Bdubs. There’s no need for harsh slanglige…” Mumbo says in a calming tone, “…what's the potion do..? Well..besides the obvious."
Bdubs takes a few deep breaths, starting to look aggravated, "If you want smart speak, it turns off the prefrontal cortext and dampens the hippocampus.
If you want lames turns, it basically turns off all parts of the brain that makes you smart..leaving you a wild animal. It lasts the /whole day/, meaning if you don't get him out of here…I'm gonna be stuck with a wild, 200 pound, predatory macaw in my way."
Ren looks at Bdubs in a sturn manner before having to hold back a giggle,he realized Bdubs’ looks like a grumpy grandpa dealing with a bunch of unruly kids..which looking at it isn't too far from the truth.
Mumbo pipes up, "Uh..not to be a dobbins, but I don't think I could carry him with my redstoner arms…plus, I just woke up from my hibernateion and I know I'd drop him if we flew."
So, they all look at the limp body of there friend with not one idea what they’re up against.
