The consecrated science of Chymistry was a Darkbrew family ritual, but no Darkbrew had ever shown the kind of creativity, ambition, and recklessness of young Razzil. However, when adulthood came calling he thrust aside the family business to try manufacturing gold through Alchemy. In an act of daring suitable to his reputation, Razzil declared he would transform an entire mountain into gold. Following two decades of investigation and preparation, he failed extravagantly; rapidly finding himself incarcerated for the extensive destruction his experiment produced. Nevertheless, Razzil was in no way would take this setback lightly, and sought to break out and continue his research. When his new cellmate turned out to be a furious ogre, he found just the opening he needed. After persuading the ogre not to eat him, Razzil set about vigilantly devising a dye for it to drink, made from the moulds and mosses growing in the prison brickwork. In a week’s time, it appeared ready. When the ogre drank the potion, it flew into an inexorable rage, destroying the cell bars and blasting through walls and guards alike. They soon found themselves lost somewhere in the forest adjoining the city with a trail of debris in their wake and no signs of detection. In the tonic’s afterglow, the ogre seemed peaceful, happy, and even willing. Resolving to work together, the pair set off to assemble the resources needed to attempt Razzil’s Alchemic transformation once more.
