Potions2

A corked glass vial of rose-tinted liquid. Heals wounds when drunk.

Heal 7 HPStandard Potion of Healing (heals HP).

Small glass dropper filled with a bitter, bright-green liquid used to neutralize common venoms.

Gives advantage on saving throws against poison for 1 hour and neutralizes poison in the bloodstream at the time of application.
Miscellaneous4

A small waxed bundle of crushed nettles, nettle root and fish-bone ash. Applied topically to staunch bleeding and ease pain.

Heal 4 HPWhen applied, stabilizes a dying creature automatically (no Medicine check). Restores HP when used as a minor healing aid.

A tinny bottle of salty, effervescent liquid brewed from brinewort and sea-thistle. Favoured by local fishermen.

Grants advantage on Athletics (Swimming) checks and Breath-holding checks for 1 hour (sea-themed, not full water-breathing).

A small linen pouch filled with dried lavender, driftmist lichen and a pinch of powdered moon-salt.

Place under pillow to gain advantage on one Wisdom (Saving Throw) vs. nightmares or intrusive illusions during a long rest. Single use.

A crude antiseptic prepared from pickling brine and crushed herb-root; used to clean wounds and prevent infection.

Gives advantage on the next Medicine check to treat an open wound taken within 24 hours. Slight sting on application.
Miscellaneous7

A jar of dark-green salve that smells faintly of smoke. Rubbing it on your skin helps stave off chill and infection.

Grants resistance to cold damage from exposure for up to 8 hours; grants advantage on saves vs. common cold/fever effects for 24 hours.

A small woven pouch of spiced-smelling powders and dried crabmeat flakes — crafted to attract nearshore fish.

Gives a bonus to one Survival (Fishing) check when used. Packet contains 3 uses.

Thin strips of treated sea-silk that bind wounds and resist seeping when wet.

When used to bind wounds after combat, grant +2 to subsequent Medicine checks on that wound and reduce ongoing HP loss from bleeding effects.

A little paper packet with a mix of thyme, mint, and salvaged coastal herbs for teas and poultices.

Use in crafting or simple herbal medicine; adds +1 to herbalism/medicine check for non-magical remedies.

A small carved bone charm stained with sea-ink and dangling bits of shell. Locals say it keeps storms off a small boat.

Traditionally grants a single small boon: once per day the holder can reroll a failed Survival (Seafaring) check (must accept second roll). The effect is subtle and may be superstition.

A fist-sized crystal of mineral salt used to cure or preserve fish and as a reagent in coastal rituals.

Used in food preservation and as a common component in some low-level coastal rituals; not inherently magical.

A length of braided, dried seaweed treated with resin — flexible and surprisingly strong for short tasks.

Miscellaneous1

A rolled slab of smoked kelp and sea-salt — filling, slightly chewy.

Counts as 1 day's rations for a sailor or fisherman; slightly reduces risk of scurvy when eaten regularly.
Miscellaneous2

Small, corked vials for storing tinctures and ink.

Mortar & pestle, several labeled bottles, tweezers, thread, beeswax and a small field guide to local botanicals.

Contains components for making basic poultices and salves; grants +2 to crafting simple remedies.

Shop Atmosphere

Mara hums an old sea-shanty when she works and keeps a pet gull named 'Soot' that perches on her shoulder. She prefers trade for fresh fish and odd sea-knickknacks over coin when she's low on supplies. She writes local remedies in a water-damaged journal she refuses to sell, and will give a discount to anyone who brings a useful new ingredient from beyond the bay.
