Medium Danger:Having Competency in your main combat skills will be necessary to survive this encounter.
High Danger:Having an expert level in your main combat or skills will be necessary to survive this encounter.
Extreme Danger:You stand risking dying in these encounters no matter your skill level. Mastery is highly advised.
Persistent Bounties
Wanted Dead or alive: The Mad Alchemist (Hank Potter)Crime: Hank Potter is an accomplished alchemist who has contacts in Zynyx, as he came up there as a potter, firing clay pots in a kiln. He's known for hunting registered mages for their blood, which he keeps in preservation pots for later use in blood magic. He is covered in arcane wards that render any offensive magic used against him null. He also has methods and means of disabling enhancement and healing magics that mages might employ through a special alchemical poison he applies to his weapons.
He favors traps and ambushes, and will often only attack when he notices that the targeted mage has sprung a trap of theirs, thus disabling their magic. He's no stranger to explosives either, which he uses as a last resort. These explosive clay grenades spread the same poison, which covers a large area in a mist of toxic air which shuts down magic.
Reward: Wanted dead or Alive

He has abducted several travelers whose bodies were never found. It's presumed they're holding them hostage, but no ransom demand has been forthcoming.
