Ancient Ashwalker Recipes

I pass down my knowledge to my kin, all that I know shall forever be preserved in this book. Inside, I shall teach you various important healing recipes and crafting techniques.

Poultice:

To prepare, first gather mushroom stems, cacti or porcini leaves, ashes from a burnt item, and a heat source such as a welder/lit candle. Next, mash together 4 mushroom stems and 3 cacti fruit. Porcini can be used instead of cacti fruit, but due to having less concentration it may be harder to fit enough leaves required to make the product. Afterwards, scoop up ashes with the mortar. If the ashes are warm enough, it may mix without extra heat needed. If it has yet to mix, heat up the bowl by using the welder on it until it has done so. Apply product to wounded parts to heal them. May cause loss of breath.

Bone Gel:

To prepare, first mash up either 3 of any plant or 1 polypore mushroom shaving. Next, milk a gutlunch, one of which should be near the tendril. Afterwards, once enough honey is gathered, mix the two together and heat. Once heated enough it will solidify into a usable product. Apply product to broken bones in order to mend them.

Capmix:

To prepare, first gather a mushroom cap, ashes from a burnt item, and a heat source such as a welder/lit candle. Next, mash together one mushroom cap. Afterwards, scoop up ashes with the mortar. If the ashes are warm enough, it may mix without extra heat needed. If it has yet to mix, heat up the bowl by using the welder on it until it has done so. Consume in moderation in order to detox the body. Note, this may induce vomiting.

Resin:

All the plants here contain a small amount of resin, likely to deter consumption of them, or perhaps to retain water. Either way, it is known to cause belly aches and toxicity within our bodies when consumed in large amounts. However there is several methods for avoiding this: Consuming plants in small quantities, or not consuming them at all. Mashing the plants up and adding water to the bowl to solidify and remove most of the resin. Ingesting capmix in order to expel the resin. Resin is also useful for ensuring things stick together, and is a stronger binder than watcher sinew. To use it for this purpose you'll have to solidify it by adding water.

Mushroom Paste:

To prepare, first gather mushroom stems, cacti or porcini leaves, and a bowl of gutlunch honey/milk. Next, mash together a stem and a cacti fruit/porcini leaf within a mortar with the help of a pestle. Afterwards, the mix should congeal into a odorous paste. This paste can then be applied to crops in order to fertilize them to nurtur and stabilize them.

Bug Cheese:

A recipe passed down from generation to generation, far before we even discovered the healing properties of mushrooms and such. Although I am not an avid chef, I found it important to ensure the knowledge of making this is never lost either. Creating this delicious food is rather easy. All you must do is use a mortar and pestle to crush a cacti fruit or porcini leaf and then mix it with gutlunch honey. The resulting creation is a ball of healthy bug cheese, ready to eat.

Flora:

Every plant we are blessed with can be used in some way. All are not dangerous when consumed in moderation, save for mushroom caps. All may be fermented and brewed into substances that induce a woozy and feel-good high. Cacti fruit is rich in juices that will nurtur and heal your body. Polypore shavings are tough and can be used for crafts such as bowls and wood substitute, and contain a higher than average resin content. Porcini leaves contain a similar content to cacti fruit along with a substance that increases brain focus. Inocybe caps contain deadly toxins in their raw state, but with ash and heat can be neutralized to instead detox the body. Embershroom stems contain a bioluminescient substance that manages to even light up the body when consumed.

Leather:

Leather does not need to be interacted with much as a shaman, especially if you are prioritizing medicine. However, it can still be useful to know how to make it, Especially since you can use it, or cloth, to create a medicinal pouch useful for holding plants and medicines. To create it, acquire some hide, the most available of which will be goliath hide. Next, skin it well with a sharp tool. Afterwards, wash with water thoroughly, and then dry by placing it over a grill atop a lit bonfire.
