DR. CAUSTIC
[table][tr][td][/td][td]
[member=10990]CAUSTIC.[/member], you're in charge of gatherin' herbs. A chunk of our supply was been lost in the carnage, and what with medical classes comin' up soon, we need 'em now more than ever. I suspect you know about the local medicinal vegetation? If not, I'll do my best to fill you in on 'em after I'm done handin' out tasks.
Apparently, the population of Tanglewood was so dimwitted to assume that the Dr. in his title stood for medical doctor, and that couldn't be further from the truth. While Caustic graduated with degrees in both chemistry and biology, he was far more interested in ending lives than saving them. Death is a beautiful thing, and Caustic was devoted to the study of it.
There's a touch of embarassment, here. Caustic doesn't want to admit to his own ignorance- the plants of Tanglewood are mostly alien to him, and he's going off vague sketches and pictures from library books. There's a few herbs in his bag already, carefully separated and tied in bundles. At the moment, Caustic stares at a bundle of ivy, and he's trying to decipher if it was a plant of any use to the group.
