Description
The Second Great House War rages on. House Colvan's remnants are putting up stiff resistance; It is becoming apparent they were very ready to declare war on every house, and were stocked well.

Alchemical influences have been game changing- For better or worse. Alchemical medicine saves the dying, while alchemical weaponry creates them. Street by street, fire, toxic gas, and worse creeps alongside great churning engines and marching boots, all fighting for a little bit more of the city than they once had... But how much of the city will be left by the end?

This collection contains themed alchemical puzzles focusing on working under the dire conditions of the Second House War- The only things that flow reliably are metal and tears. This is the second collection, and contains puzzles of varying complexity and size for all to enjoy.

INCENDIARY SHOT
Created by Iron
Adding a little more oomph to basic ammunition has always been a task of wartime alchemists, but the ability to produce it at scale has been severely limited- Until now. These pellets burn white-hot when ignited- Usually by discharge- with predictably dest...
AEROSOL
Created by Iron
Not especially useful on its own, but when paired with a liquid or a powder, it can be used to disperse the concoction through the air over impressive distances. This has some fairly insidious uses, though it remains benign enough that little is done to li...
POWDER CHARGE RECLAMATION
Created by Iron
An enormous quantity of high quality powder left over from the first House War has languished in armories and depots, and water has seeped into an unfortunate amount of it. Normally it would have to be thrown out- But with industrial alchemy available, it ...
FRICTIONLESS GREASE
Created by Iron
This useful compound is deceptively dangerous, as it lives up to its name. Most often used as a lubricant for complex machines that see heavy industrial use- Not the least of which is the Alchemical Engine itself- it has obvious secondary applications....
MEGADRENALINE
Created by Iron
More commonly known as a 'battle potion' or 'strength potion', this elixir dramatically increases the user's reaction times, physical strength, and speed, while also numbing pain and fear. It does not, however, make the body any more durable- Self-injury u...
CRACKLEDIRT
Created by Iron
A clever security measure, this ordinary looking dirt can be spread over a wide area. When anything steps on it, it emits a loud crackling, alerting anyone nearby that an intruder has stepped on the surface....
IRON SKIN ELIXIR
Created by Iron
Body armor is both difficult to produce and- At this point- antique. It will be some time before furnaces press new armor into shape for soldiers at scale, but until then, this elixir is an effective stopgap. A dose will make the skin as hard as iron, toug...
DUST OF REVEALING
Created by Iron
Useful when alchemy is suspected, this fine powder reacts to the presence of alchemical processes it touches by emitting a golden, shimmering haze. Toss a pinch into the air or onto a surface, and the powder will reveal alchemy in use in the air or on what...
DEATH FOG
Created by Iron
A very feared alchemical weapon, exposure to this gas is not as immediately lethal as its name suggests- But the unfortunate souls who breathe in this swirling silvery-green miasma will wish it was. As a result it makes an effective area denial tool, as fe...
POLYMER REFINING
Created by Iron
Complex alchemical polymers have specialized uses, and often, converting them to other useful compounds is better than simply letting them go to waste....
