- working on a potion just before she was killed. Now the secret will go to
- the grave with her... unless you can find the missing ingredients.
-
- You, being her only living heir received news and came quickly to find out
- she had plans for you to continue with her work. You gain title to her
- estate and her fortune only if you continue with her studies in the field of
