Trade Flyers

[lostinspace]

Various bulletin boards now sport flyers made of high-quality vellum. Readers of an arcane persuasion will spot minor, if persistent, cantrips etched on the edge of each flyer, protecting it against the elements. The flyers read:

Potions for Sale

By Order: Alchemical Tinctures; Distilled Essence of Arcane Formulae.
Payment to be made in stags. No returns or refunds available. Wares may be examined prior to purchase, but break any seal and the potion will be considered sold. For a full list of possible side effects, consult page fifty-five of Fiend Folio, Third Restatement by Khelben Arunsun.

Flavors Available: Wraith Lime, Sembian Grape, Owlbear Barbecue, Spiced Wyrm, Prismatic Berry, and Classic.

Manifold Fizz: This bubbly concoction temporarily increases ethereal luminescence whilst inducing epidermic refraction. In short, the drinker will soon be shrouded in multiple illusory copies of himself, distracting any would-be murderers, brigands, or salespersons. Cost: 500 stags. (Mirror Image)

Decisive Draught: This concentrated energy mixture provides a cocktail kick of adrenaline, sensory-enhancing substances, temporally-attuned liquids, and sugar. Only to be taken in the pre-poured quantities; do not mix, combine, or measure your own doses. In case of multi-dimensional awareness, see a cleric immediately. Cost: 150 stags. (True Strike)

See-Through Seltzer: Light and refreshing, this liquid will render the drinker's outward appearance displaced erratically. Slow-boiled in spiral alembic whilst infused with illusory magic, this drink is best employed to avoid targeted violence or to convince one's friends that they are drunk. Use responsibly. Cost: 500 stags. (Displacement [9])

Contra-Certitude Cocktail: Annoyed at an acquaintance's seemingly intractable fanaticism? Be vexed no longer, as this concoction of prime material substances will shield you from extra-planar mores. Ineffectual against the apathetic. Cost: 100 stags. (Protection v. Alignment [2])

Liquor of Insulation: While some imbibe strong alcohol in order to stay warm at night, this liquor will keep you comfortable at night, during the day, in a blizzard, or within a raging daemon-wrought inferno. If numbness results, consider discontinuing dosages. Cost: 750 stags. (Protection from Energy [10])

Amorphous Absinthe: This tasteful mixture will elevate you from your everyday woes. And it will do so by rendering your physical form partially incorporeal, defeating attacks by non-magical weaponry, and immunizing you from basic spellcasting. Pink is the new matter. Cost: 750 stags. (Ghostly Visage [15])

Resistant Remedy: Bottled in travel-proof flasks, this drink is one that ought to accompany able adventurers anywhere. Metabolized, the mixed substances will coat the drinker's body in a protective sheathe. Note: not a replacement for hardy armor, a deft dodge, or common sense. Cost: 500 stags (Improved Mage Armor [3])

Temporal Libation: Running late? Wish you could slow time around you? Now you can, with a flavorful drink that goes well with any breakfast. Do not settle for the commonly-sold brand, 'Potion of Speed.' The effects of this formula will last twice as long - at, least, from the perspective of everyone else. Cost: 500 stags. (Haste [10])

Blademaster's Brew: We recommend that you taste this fruity drink while carrying a bladed melee weapon. If you do, said weapon will immediately take on an edge honed to a fine razor point. How does it work? That's a trade secret that we in the business affectionately call 'magic.' Cost: 300 stags (Keen Edge [5])

Bulk Discount: Purchase at least ten potions in one order, and the total price will be reduced by one tenth.

For orders and inquiries, direct correspondence or magical sendings to Khifa, Room 3 of the Menacing Mariner.

An advertisement, along with a list of goods, is posted on bulletin boards of various inns and taverns throughout Sundren. The establishments targeted appear to be ones that adventurers frequent. Written in Common and with flowing penmanship, the advertisements read:

A note is left by Magus Altherion Goldleaf, stating that he would like to arrange a meeting to discuss bulk purchasing of potions. He can be contacted by via Sending or message delivered to the Gate of the Sunderer.

He states that he can also provide a scroll of Skin of the Steel Dragon, if Khifa is still seeking one (possibly with DM intervention since I believe it is unscribeable)

Khifa's response takes the form of a magical sending:

Magus Goldleaf,

We can meet at your convenience. I understand much of your time is occupied with training magically-attuned prospects, and I can visit when there is a lull in your mentoring duties. I trust the Gate is the most convenient place to hold a discussion?

Feel free to dispatch a message to me by whatever means when such a time presents itself. The schedule of a vagabond arcanist is nowhere near as demanding as that of a state Magus.

-Khifa

(( The fact that no one can scribe a Skin of the Steel Dragon spell is why Khifa has placed such a high bounty on a scroll! I've just been waiting until someone comes across it in the loot matrix. ))

[lostinspace]

(( Update: All greater restoration scrolls sold. Uncut gems added to the general buy/sell list ))

[Kitsunestume]

A parchment bordeded in blue and green makes its way to the Mariner.

"Miss Khifa,

I am interested in purchasing the stones you have curently advertised for purchase, and am capable of production of mine-enhancing items. If I am unavailable for interpersonal interaction, I may be reached via Sending or a notice left at the Temple of Oghma.

Signed,
Craftmagus J. Frazer"

[Lugwy]

Julia drops a note under the room door.


Khifa,

I am interested in purchasing your Decisive Draughts in bulk. Classic flavour.

- Julia

[lostinspace]

Soon after the delivery is made to Julia, a magical sending is dispatched to one J. Frazer. It says:

Craftmagus Frazer,

Though calligraphy occupies much of my time of late, I am readily available for discussion in either Port Avanthyr or the Second Wind Inn. The gemstones, as I understand, are quite rare and purchasing all of them will amount to a considerable sum. Certainly, we can discuss the details at your leisure.

I appreciate the offer of mine-enhancing items. To be clear, however, I did not mine these gems myself. If I encounter an able miner in need of such, I will send them in your direction.

Peace,

~Khifa

(( Selling list updated ))

[Kitsunestume]

A magical reply is sent thereafter by the elf.

"Miss Khifa,

It would appear that my letter contained a single errant letter that had evaded my proofreading. The intent was to state "Mind-enhancing items", such as your notice requests, a service you may find use for.

Craftmajus J. Frazer"

Fresh copies of these old flyers are once again posted to various bulletin boards. There is no explanation for the resumption of service. The address has been changed to Room 3, rather than Room 4, of the Menacing Mariner.

[thaelis]

Lanathas Ell'thariel of Avanthyr leaves word (from the room down the hall) that he would be interested in purchasing a scroll of both Lesser and Greater spell breach, as well as any cut or uncut gemstones.

He also notes that he offers his own scribing services should Khifa seek any scrolls of 1st to 9th circle.
