Marcellus stepped in and long story short... The potion indeed worked the way I intended and knocked him out cold, effectively paralyzing him first.
I was only partly lying when I told Caroline the potion was meant for sleeping.
This one forced the victim into sleep, making them useless for hours.
Enough time for me to get out of this mansion.
I glanced at Marcellus' body on the ground one last time before I grabbed the pouch and hung it close to my chest like a bag.
There were a few other potions in there that would come in handy later on.
Anyway, I stepped out of the room, closing the door behind me before I strutted through the hallway. I knew that by now Caroline should be heading to my room to check on me and had to be quick before she alerted Kaelos.
When I finally stepped out of the mansion, I paused in my tracks when I noticed the guards at the gate.
