Chemist Diary


 * Found by kill St Paul Chemist during investigation Occult oculus.

Description
A long diary
 * 17.06.18
 * None of my recent research concerning a possible cure for blindness have reached any
 * successful state. I'm starting to worry, since my vision has decreased more and more
 * over the part months. I'm afraid I may go blind before finding any interesting lead.
 * Maybe I should go back to the Brotherhood's library and ask our Primate if he knows of
 * any documents I should read first... But I fear he might refuse to answer me. Soon, I will
 * be forced to take my notes in Braille to be sure to read them if my condition worsens.
 * 20.06.18
 * Blessed be Usher Talltree, and may the Sacred Stole protect him for many years to
 * come! I talked to him last night and he kindly listed me three scrolls I should read. Good
 * thing my Greek and Latin are not too rusty.
 * 15.07.18
 * I'm losing patience and time here. The precious text listed by the Primate have proved
 * themselves almost totally useless. Alchemy and herbalist knowledge won't do me much
 * good. For three days now. I'm totally blind as soon as the evening comes. This can't
 * happen. This won't be!
 * 17.08.18
 * A terrible idea has come to my mind: what if I used the regenerative power of vampire
 * blood? I'll go back to the Brotherhood's secret library tonight, and search for such
 * information and material. With the influenza crisis, it should be easier to sneak in.
 * 21.08.18
 * I'm on to something! The eyes of the two last rats I blinded seemed to have retrieved
 * sight after I injected them with a drop of vampire blood. They clearly could avoid my
 * knife when I tested them, and the eyes had grown back, but they died the next day. I
 * must find a way to improve the recipe.
 * 14.09.18
 * I've been unable to find some more vampire blood. I think someone spotted my theft in
 * the Brotherhood cabinet. When I asked Brother Swansea - who seems to be working on
 * some research concerning vampire blood addiction - he refused to give me some fresh
 * material. I'm going blind... It drives me mad!
 * 27.10.18
 * Blessed be the Stole! It seems the number of ghouls has suddenly increased in London.
 * It will not be too difficult to capture one and perform some more precise experiments. I
 * know exactly how to trap one in my laboratory.
 * 29.10.18
 * It works! Ghoul blood is less potent and permits a better dosage. Mixed with Usher
 * Talltree;s previous advice concerning alchemy and healing herb use, I shall be able to
 * overcome fate. Tonight, I will inject the serum directly in my weakening eyes.
 * 03.11.18
 * I can see! Dried powder of ghoul's optic never plus essence of birch wood, combined
 * with equal part of helichrysum italicum are the best mix, when properly heated and used
 * at the correct dilution. I will make a Braille copy of my notes in case the cure is only
 * temporary. I'll kill the ghoul I have kept for all this time, and pursue my research further.
 * 04.11.18
 * The nasty ghoul has bitten me! His eyes! His eyes I had gouged for my experiments had
 * regrown too. Of course, they did! I'm so stupid! The beast had time to observe me and
 * prepare its plan! It attacked me when I approached to destroy it. Then it stole my Braille
 * note and fled. I should have seen it coming! I just can't die like this... No, I won't die! I'm
 * going to turn soon... Then I'll start again from scratch... I overcame fate once! I'll do it
 * again!
