These items hold promise even if they're not needed as spell components.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Is Dremelza looking to buy spell components? Samson and Sons Dungeon Salvage often has many bizarre items looking for a buyer.
ReplyDelete10 gp for a small packet of dirt? Does this witch get her supplies from Games Workshop?
ReplyDelete...also:
ReplyDeleteBrazier: 1 Use
What is that thing made of? Wood?
Yeah, dirt and shit, selling for 10 GP per small packet. All I need are some small packets and I'm ready to go into production. But you've got to have the discipline make your money and get out fast - you don't want to be around when the dirt and shit bubble bursts.
ReplyDeleteThe image of the dirt and shit bubble bursting is going to stay with me.
DeleteI remember the summer of the Great Pestilence.
ReplyDeleteIt drove shamrock prices through the roof!
You couldn't find them anywhere. It was a hard time to be a druid, what with the lack of mistletoe and all.
On the plus side, they were giving jars of grasshopper legs away for free that autumn...
Apparently, you guys have never been in a New Age shop (thus, it's all hype for the guillible and the witch only shows her real wares to those who don't fall for it).
ReplyDeleteOr maybe . . . . this is specially cultivated and gathered dirt, you know. Maybe it's dirt taken from a grave at midnight on the night of a New Moon: as in, the dirt that actually touched the coffin! Thus, the witch had to dig it up in secret, lest she be found guilty of grave desecration!
On a more serious note, maybe it's dirt that's not available in the general area. My great grandfather was Cherokee and he used to treat sprained ankles with a apoultice made of East Texas red clay and vingear.
Just a few thoughts.
Twenty GP for a vial of water? What's she selling, Evian?
ReplyDeleteEr, 10 GP. Still.
