*Thorn waits until he is fairly certain everyone else in the house is asleep before beginning his project. He has been gathering the supplies for a few days, but he is not looking forward to the process.
The very late hours find him in the kitchen with a pot of something that sends an unpleasant smell down the halls. His concoction has been boiling for a while, and he hovers over it with a sleeve over his nose and mouth, stirring... the liquid is a very dark colour, black in the pot, with bits of nuts and bark and possibly some kind of fungus floating in it. It is getting thicker as he lets it boil down, and the thicker it gets, the worse the smell is. He only hopes the house is large enough that the smell won't disturb anyone else...*
