Shop Atmosphere

“The Ragged Retort smells of vinegar, dried herbs and a hint of burnt sugar. Edda greets customers by counting the number of tap knocks they make on the counter — she believes rhythm betrays truth. She haggles reluctantly: will trade a vial for a favor (small errands, a story, a handful of rare moss) and stamps used bottles with a tiny halfling footprint to indicate discounted or 'dodgy' stock. She keeps the backroom door chained and will only show the patched, rare items to customers she trusts. If someone asks for a lower price, she offers a 'mystery tasting' (the Spoiled Mystery Flask) with a crooked grin.”
