Vonoros was starting to get concerned for the Draconynh, he’d seen dudes get super hammered before but not hammered to the point of pure mania. He walked over to Loex and was about to shake the fellow by their shoulders but stepped back as the draconynh waved him off. The triton held his arms behind his head as he watched the little fellow walk away fumbling and bumbling through the building.
He then started following the fellow as they made their way outside, he sat on the old abandoned mansion’s porch as he watched the draconynh plop into a tree and fall asleep once more. He sat there accompanied by two of the three heads of the moonshine operation, a laughing orc, and an irritated elf woman.
The triton just looked on in relief before chuckling to the two other people, “Heh, looks like our little draconynh friend managed to fall asleep”.
As Vonoros waited a bit and continued to speak with the heads he eventually turned his head to see Loex finally stir back into consciousness. He hopped off the porch and walked over to Loex standing in front of him holding his hand out for the Draconynh to help him up.

Everything ached, nausea and a powerful disorientation accompanied Lo back to the realm of consciousness. Peeling their eyes open, they looked up to see the brightly colored man offering a hand. Clasping it, the mage lifted themselves from the tree. The world swam and spun in unnatural directions and before they could even think to say anything stumbled back into the tree. Letting out a heavy sigh, they took several deep breaths, clutching against the sturdy trunk.
"T... tha... Thanks." Lo managed to stammer out a moment later. Why did everything hurt so badly... Sure the drink was strong, but this wasn't like any other hangover they'd experienced. It felt like the Draconynh had run a marathon after climbing a mountain in addition to the headache and disorientation. Another few moments of catching their breath and they managed to stumble back over to something meant for sitting on and dropping into it carefully.
With a solemn look, Lo tried to get a read of those around. What had happened? The last thing they remembered was taking a whiff of the much stronger drink and saying something about it... the rest felt like it had been shredded and the pieces scattered about at random. Some instinct was screaming at the lizard that they'd discovered some important thing, but the more they tried to recall it, the more their head pounded and made them woozy. Could the others be trusted to give a proper recounting? Did it matter? Too many questions...

Vonoros gripped the fellow’s hand tight pulled the little draconynh back on his feet and started waving his right hand in front of the fellow’s face checking to see if he was back to normal.
“Hey, You alright lil’ dude? Are you alive?”, before seeing Loex stumble back into the tree.
He once again held his hand to help the draconynh up and tried his best to explain what had happened that night.
“Okay, little dude so me and you drank the super version of that moonshine the other dudes were making okay? I was fine, a little buzzed but you were so damned hammered that you looked like you were fighting demons. You even blasted your little book of yours there before just heading over here and taking a nap”.
“What happened to you? Do you just not remember anything that happened?, ”The triton then helped Loex walk up the stairs and onto the abandoned porch where two of the heads stood.
“Alright dudes, we tested your product, and it’s pretty good all things considered I think that second batch you made will probably sell even better. But what’s in it for us two now? Why don't you guys deal us into your operation?”.

"I'll... survive... and no... I don't recall much..." Lo answered as the man's bombardment of questions pounded against their headache. Taking a peek in their robes, they did indeed notice that the tome looked different... damaged somehow. Whatever had been in that brew had done a number on them, and all they really wanted now was a dark and quiet place to rest. This concoction would either become too popular, and be akin to harder drug use... or be off putting to most drinkers and find a small niche of diehards.
After stumbling up to the porch, Lo listened to the others' conversation warily. Still slightly dazed, they tried to follow along but there wasn't much interest now that the task was complete.
“Alright dudes, we tested your product, and it’s pretty good all things considered I think that second batch you made will probably sell even better. But what’s in it for us two now? Why don't you guys deal us into your operation?” Vonoros asked the group running the experiment. Lo held up a hand before the others answered, teetering as they stood up again.
"I'll be taking my leave now... anything you might have to offer you're welcome to give to this man. Thanks for the drink... but I'm going to go find a dark, quiet hole to disappear into for a while..." They managed, then walked off the porch after retrieving their staff. Leaning on it heavily, they trudged down the path before continuing on into the woods to find a place to be alone.

Vonoros was relieved to see the little draconynh return to consciousness but backed away as the fellow seemed a little overwhelmed by his questions. He felt a little bad for this whole situation happening and responsible for this fellow’s suffering and could only imagine his rapid-fire questions weren’t making him feel any better.
Vonoros then awaited to receive a response to his proposal but quickly shifted to the dark-scaled fellow’s announcement of his departure.
He waved him off, “See ya little buddy sorry for causing you’ any distress on the count of my selfishness. Have fun in your dark hole don’t let the drunken memories get ‘ya”.
He waves the fellow goodbye once more before shifting his attention to his potential business arrangement as the two heads turn their backs on him and whisper to each other for a minute.
They then turn around and the elf woman says, “Alright triton, we have come to a proposition for you, we make and produce our product and all you gotta do is send it out to customers through your connections and we have a deal”.
Vonoros grins as he holds out his hand as the orc shakes it, “Deal”, after some more business talk which was honestly just Vonoros dozing off and the heads explaining their operation the triton leaves satisfied with his work and in search of a nice napping spot.
