"Hello, young Chef-Mage! I am Rodoric, the staff staffcrafter of the League.
You may think of staves as clumsy, brutish weapons, good for little more than smacking things upside the head, like some sort of clumsy brute. But a staff can be so much more than just a big stick -- why, I can make it into a Chefstaff -- a Chef-Mage's most powerful ally next to magic itself!
I'll tell you what. You show me a staff, and I'll tell you what I can do with it."

"Ah, a <staff>. Yes. I can turn this into the following Chefstaff:
<chefstaff>
Of course, I'll need a snack,
<snack>
and a libation with which to wet my whistle,
<libation>
and the following items to build the staff itself:
<items>
Bring me these things, and I'll make the Chefstaff for you."
After giving Rodoric all the items he needs:
After a satisfying meal and a refreshing beverage, Rodoric sets about the task of making your Chefstaff.
It takes him hours, but when he's finished, the staff he presents you with is truly a thing of beauty.
You acquire... something. [[Data:{{{item}}}]]
Trying to make a chefstaff from a staff you don't have:
Feeling pretty sneaky, eh? Rodoric doesn't fall for your staff-not-having ways! He whips out his staff (bigger than yours) and beats you (not very) soundly.
