Miscellaneous9

A stoppered glass flask filled with a sticky, volatile mixture that ignites on contact.

Thrown (improvised); on impact target takes fire and may continue to burn. Flammable materials catch.

A small glass tube of corrosive acid, useful against locks, armor, and foes.

Can be used to etch metal or as an improvised thrown weapon. Corrodes nonmagical metal over time.

A leather sack containing sticky, fibrous matter that expands on contact and clings.

When thrown and ruptured on a creature or object, the target's speed is halved and it may become restrained (Athletics check to break free). Lasts 1 minute.

A chalky stick that emits a dense pall of smoke when struck and activated.

Creates heavily obscuring smoke in a 10-foot radius for up to 1 minute (winds can disperse it).

Failed save causes disadvantage on Perception relying on hearing for 1 round and possible temporary deafness.

A simple but sturdy mortar and pestle for grinding herbs and reagents.

Gives advantage on small-batch reagent preparation checks when used correctly.
Miscellaneous2

A rare, carefully stabilized reagent that dissolves potent adhesives and complicated bindings.

Dissolves mundane and most alchemical adhesives; weak against true magic bonds (DM's discretion). Useful to unseal traps or remove manacles glued shut.

A prepacked satchel of common herbs, salts, and catalysts used in many basic alchemical brews.

Allows quick brewing of common alchemical items and gives +1 to successful crafting checks for one day.

Shop Atmosphere

“The shop constantly emits soft pops and fizzles; Merris hums old gnomish nursery songs while she works and insists customers call her 'Fizz' at least once to avoid bad luck. A tame copperhead snake (harmlessly alchemical) named 'Bubbles' lounges in a glass terrarium and will try to sell you recipes if you offer it a sweet treat. Merris will refuse to sell Mercurial Flash to anyone she suspects is 'planning to perform in a hall of kings' and offers a free cup of spiced tea with purchases over 100 gp.”
