Herbal Brewer

The healer lifts a spoon out of a cauldron of steaming liquid, and hands it to a sickly green patient, who drinks it. Then, the green color starts draining away, back to normal. The witch mixes her cauldron and takes a sip of the liquid, and swells to double her size. Then, she drinks a flask of pink liquid that shrinks her down to normal size. The potion-mixer observes the wounded adventurer, coughing from the wyvern's sting. She places a bead in his mouth. It dissolves on his tongue, and he stops coughing.
