well i was quite proud of henry yesterday

he got into several fights and managed to survive each one. which i quite an improvement from previous tries. i did buy him a better weapon, so i guess that helps a lot. got jumped on the road twice. once by invaders, who were quite well equipped. i managed to trounce them both. then by some bandits, who weren't much more than peasants with weapons. i enhanced my gear with what i took from the invaders and the peasants really had no chance. looting bodies is pretty much how my henry gets all his money haha. they all had crap i could sell and coin to add to my collection.

and i finally found the alchemy bench! alchemy is pretty interesting. you dont just walk up to the crafting table and push a button and the character makes things, oh no. you have to do it yourself. you have to put each ingredient into the cauldron at the correct times, heat it properly, time it properly, and so on. if you mess up the recipe your potion doesn't come out right and you lose your ingredients.

its kinda fun. altho i can see it becoming tedious if i have to make many potions at once. but for now, im getting good practice at it, and giving henry i nice supply of health potions. ive been picking flowers since day one so its high time i was able to use them!
