Potions7

A thumb-sized blue bottle that pops softly when uncorked. It is made from diluted healing reagents and dragonfly honey.

Heal 2 HPA faint fizzing glow clings to the drinker's lips for 1 minute.

A canonical Potion of Healing kept in a padded wooden rack near the front counter.

Heal 2 HPThe liquid tastes of iron, mint, and overripe berries.

A cloudy amber vial with a wax seal and a bitter medicinal smell.

The drinker smells faintly of vinegar for the duration.

A narrow green bottle containing a restless liquid that seems to crawl up the glass. Fizz claims the dragonflies used in its preparation migrate according to lunar pressure.

The drinker's pupils briefly resemble dragonfly wings.

A squat ceramic jar of greenish alchemical gel. It is effective against ordinary flesh but too weak to harm objects or structures.

The treated weapon gives off a sharp pickle-like odor.

A pearly white cordial sold to miners, chimney sweeps, and adventurers who expect to explore foul places.

The drinker's voice becomes slightly nasal.

A pale yellow stimulant with suspended flecks of dried moth wing and a cork that hums when held.

The drinker's ears twitch audibly when anyone whispers nearby.
Miscellaneous5

A standard flask of alchemist's fire substitute, prepared for illumination rather than combat. Fizz refuses to sell it near open spellbooks.

The flame burns violet and smells faintly of cloves.

A paper packet of cheap laboratory powder used by investigators, locksmiths, and suspicious customers.

The powder crackles when near hidden compartments.

A canvas roll containing bandages, splints, bitter-smelling salves, and three tiny labeled bottles.

A plain empty bottle sold to apprentices, travelers, and customers who insist on decanting their purchases.

A cheap tallow candle stamped with the shop's cork-shaped seal.

The wax is faintly purple from discarded potion pigments.

Lootable Stash

(5)

Where The Take Sits

The shop's most valuable goods are scattered through the bubbling carboy maze, but the actual stash is divided between a false-bottom till at the counter, a locked reagent ledger case in the rear storeroom, and a concealed emergency rack behind empty fermentation vessels.

Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) or Dexterity with thieves' tools
DC 13

On Failure

A failed theft attempt causes a bottle to topple somewhere in the resonance maze. The resulting hiss and colored vapor alert Fizzlebang Fizz Copperpot, who releases a crank-operated bellows that fills the room with harmless but blinding yellow foam. The party must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of its next turn. Fizz then shouts for the town watch while Professor, the petrified rat, points accusingly toward the intruders.

Estimated haul

Money On HandLoot target #1

Day's Till

17 gp, 34 sp, and 48 cp
Inside a false-bottom drawer beneath the front counter
Mixed coins collected throughout the day, mostly silver and copper with a few gold pieces stuck together by spilled syrup.
Personal ItemLoot target #2

Copperpot's Inspection Lens

8 gp
On a chain around Fizz's neck, or hanging from the peg beside his sleeping cot after closing
Fizz's brass magnifying lens, fitted with a crooked leather loop and polished obsessively whenever he becomes nervous.
Valuable RecordsLoot target #3

Resonance Ledger

60 gp to a rival apothecary, or useful leverage against Fizz
Locked inside a cedar case beneath the third stack of stained crates in the rear storeroom
A stitched ledger recording suppliers, failed batches, customer debts, and the locations of several rare reagent caches. Rival alchemists would pay well for it, though exposing the information could make enemies.
Potion StockLoot target #4

Emergency Rack

300 gp at normal retail price
Behind a curtain of empty carboys in the back alcove, arranged by bottle vibration rather than appearance
Four saleable Potions of Healing and two Antitoxins wrapped in straw. Their labels are written in Fizz's cramped, wandering script.
Valuable CuriosityLoot target #5

Professor the Petrified Rat

75 gp to a collector of curiosities
Centered on Fizz's writing desk beneath a cracked glass dome
Professor's petrified remains, mounted on a little brass turntable. Fizz insists the rat is an accomplished master alchemist. A collector of unusual magical specimens might pay for it, though removing it would likely provoke Fizz more than stealing his money.

Shop Atmosphere

The Cauldron & Cork is a cramped potion shop built around a former vinegar warehouse. Its name comes from the heavy iron cauldron mounted above the entrance and the old corkworks that once occupied the building. Neon liquids glow behind warped glass carboys, while acrid vapors gather beneath the rafters in colored layers. Fizzlebang Fizz Copperpot, a nervous gnome with ink-stained fingers, lives behind the inventory and claims he has not inhaled unfiltered air in three years. He organizes every bottle by vibrational resonance, so finding a specific draught without his help is nearly impossible. He frequently begins explaining a potion's side effects and ends by describing the migratory habits of dragonflies. On his desk sits Professor, a petrified rat that Fizz insists is the actual master alchemist, while he is merely the clumsy thumb assigned to stir the pots.
