Your adventures have brought you back to the bustling port city of Shorehaven. The sign on the stone tower near the docks says "Valerian Root Apothecary buy, sell, & trade". A fluffy grey tabby dozes in the window. The bell on the door chimes as you enter. Inside are several tidy shelves and glass cases full of various bottles and jars of all types all clearly labeled in neat handwriting. A light herbal and medicinal scent greets you. Standing by a case is...

A handsome Wood-elf w/ brown curls and wearing thin glasses; his gray eyes glance up from his book. "Welcome back, care to try my latest potion?"
