A Remedy for Fear

Driven by a desire to help the warriors, the alchemist Zagelforntz started handing out improvised "heroism potions" in secret. Those who drank these concoctions felt no fear, and for a time, things went well. But during the last skirmish, the fighters, unable to assess the danger, bravely charged forward and died foolish deaths. Zagelforntz was forbidden from giving the potion to the troops ever again, but many of his "patients" have refused to go into battle without a sip of the familiar elixir.
