Potion Guild Fallout
Steve's lab notes: it looks like Steve's been focused on a few different projects over the last year or so. For one, there's his "htm spells" project, in which he was "hyperlinking" spells together to be able to cast two spells in a single round. Looks like he got a couple first level spells paired off together.
The second project was taking over Vrill's owlbear work. Looks like it didn't go far. Steve was trying to make owlbears that were filled with poison gas, so that when they were stabbed, they'd shoot gas out or explode or something.
The final project is new, looks like it was begun when Vrill returned from Hello. Steve's notes are confused and incomplete, and you're not sure what he was trying to do.

There are a few members of the Potion Guild left, but they run when they see you, and they've hired bodyguards.
Okay, down you go to Vrill's door. Still glowing blue.
