Shop Inventory
(13)A sugar-syrup smelling vial that mends wounds (Heals ). A standard curative brewed from willow resin and honey.
A bitter amber liquid. Grants advantage on saving throws against poison for 1 hour.
A slimy, greenish potion harvested from deep desert cacti. Heals and grants +1 temporary HP per hour for 4 hours.
A lavender-tinged tincture that aids sleep. When sipped before a short rest, it reduces the short rest by 10 minutes (minimum 10) but imposes a -1 penalty to Perception checks for the next 8 hours.
A spicy amber shot that sharpens reflexes. Grants +1 to initiative for 1 hour but causes feet to itch, imposing -2 to Stealth checks for that hour.
A rare, blue-sparked vial that steadies the arm for ranged attacks. For 10 minutes, grants advantage on one ranged attack per turn, but on a failed save vs. forced movement the drinker drops their ranged weapon (or it's pushed 5 ft).
A cheap yellow vial sold at the bar. For 1 hour you have +2 on one Charisma (Deception or Persuasion) check, but you gain a compulsive urge to wager small valuables until the effect ends.
A gritty brown liquid that toughens the skin. Grants a bonus to AC (for 1 hour). This is a watered-down, temporary version of barkskin suitable for low levels.
A greasy paste applied to stiff joints. Restores HP over 10 minutes and grants advantage on the first Athletics/Acrobatics check made within an hour for clumsy limbs.
A silvery ointment rubbed on the face. Grants the effect of Disguise Self (visual only) for 1 hour. While active, the user sheds faint mirage-heat waves, causing creatures within 5 ft to have disadvantage on Perception checks to notice small concealed items.
A tiny leather pouch containing enough cold iron dust to sprinkle on a weapon or wound. While used on a weapon it grants +1 vs. fey/shapechangers for 1 minute. If applied to an open wound it causes a faint burning (1 HP) but wards fey for 1 hour.
A short stick to light and inhale the vapors. Grants temporary advantage on checks to spot tracks or scents for 30 minutes, but causes a persistent peppery cough that gives away position on a failed Constitution save.
A jar of crushed herbs used as a base for many other concoctions. Cheap and versatile—useful as a component or crude poultice.

Shop Atmosphere
“The shop looks like a one-room western apothecary fused with an ancient caravan trader's stall: sun-bleached bottles hung from rafter ropes, animal skulls with glass eyes, and a battered piano barrel by the door. Maribel entertains customers by whistling off-key sea shanties and counts change with bone dice she occasionally rolls to determine discounts (players may ask for a 'discount roll' once per visit; she grants a 5%–15% discount on successful DC 12 Persuasion/Deception to mirror her mood). She insists on bartering stories as well as coin—customers who share a short, interesting story about a past exploit get a 1 gp credit toward a purchase. Many concoctions have clear tradeoffs; Maribel will point them out but won't sugarcoat consequences. The shop closes at sundown but the back window sometimes glows with a faint, wandering light that could be the source of a future plot hook.”
