Alchemical suggestions wanted...
Turns out I subconsciously pinched my alchemist's breath-clearing mix from Tamora Pierce's "Cold Fire," which I read a couple of years ago and decided to reread today. At least if I must subconsciously pinch, I do it from the best. So much for that. (and... bugger!)
Dammit! Now I have to think of something else that an alchemist can do that would make him a good hire for a fire station crew. He can mix pastes to treat burns and brew painkillers more cheaply and reliably than a magical healer, but is that enough to make him desirable?
Any suggestions?
Firehorse progress:

Hmm. Methinks I underguestimated the size of this first draft, given the finale I have still to write.
