A large two-sectioned stone cottage lies before you.  It sits in the middle of a gravel lot devoid of grass, trees, or any verdant substance.  Small pipes jut out and up from the walls at several points, and several more stove pipes and chimneys emerge from the apex of the roof.  A tattered flag snaps in the breeze from a pole at the front tip of the building, upon which is sewn the words “Mortar & Pestle”, next to the simple image of  such.

You enter the door beneath the flag, and enter the main portion of the shop.  The entire floor is covered by a very plush and much stained rug.  Burn marks are evident in it at several points, and bits of glass have yet to be swept up.  The ceiling here is fairly low, making any character seven feet tall or more stoop.  Around the circumference of the room, chains hang from the ceiling, holding what appear to be chandeliers at chest height.  On closer inspection you notice these are vial racks suspended from the ceiling.

Several shelves form a square around the center of the room, which you walk around to analyze the contents therein.  Small bundles of tindertwigs, tied together with strings are present, as are many sunrods and smoke sticks stacked into pyramids.  Tanglefoot bags are arranged next to cans of scentbreaker, and several small tins of lip balm are arranged nearby as well.

Greefus Calhoun, the gnome alchemist who owns the place, is rarely seen as he is usually in the rear chamber tending to his bubbling flasks.  His assistant, a young human named Delia Morraine, glumly deals with customers in the front.

You can purchase basic alchemical products here for normal price.  You can purchase weapon black, lip balm, and eye drops as well.
