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.
