I think this has good bones, but needs some refinement in a few areas. The text formatting is a bit inconsistent, and the font choice feels slightly off. It makes it harder to read.
This is more of an adventure prompt than a full adventure. It needs a few more of the "where and why" to really drive the adventure forward. The prompt to get started is good, but what if the adventurers don't want to chase after the alchemist? Having more things draw them into, or at least approach the main quest will certainly help varied groups get engaged.
