Shop Atmosphere

“The shop smells of distillates and bitter herbs; the owner keeps a caged, sleepily docile giant poisonous snake in the back for educational (and ingredient) purposes. Prices rise slightly if you try to bargain while wearing weaponry. The proprietor stamps receipts with a small ink emblem of a black vial that tastes faintly of iron to certain customers.”
