Everybody knows that orcs and adventurers don't mix. Adventurers kill orcs, in fact, in endless hordes as part of their quests, in exchange for bounties posted by the Empire. Dzošajan knows this. But she also knows that she has one goal in life: to become the greatest alchemist in the world, and she'll do anything to accomplish that. That alchemy is her best shot at changing her body to something she's happy with is just a fortunate coincidence. So when a caravan of alchemists arrives at her tiny orc village, Dzošajan jumps at the opportunity, and ends up becoming apprenticed to one of them. It's only later that she learns that this particular alchemist doesn't live in some ancient tower or dungeon; he owns a potion shop in town, and his primary clientele are, of course, adventurers. This could get complicated.
