 _setting_desc The shop is simple and easy to overlook, just a wooden stall with a sign overhanging that reads "Curios for the Curious." Jars, vials, and small pots clutter the surface of the shop, and behind the counter is a large shelf crammed full of scrolls, baubles, and statuary. A smell of incense pervades the area.

 _self_emote smile 
 _self_say Greetings good sir, hail ye from near or far?  What brings to this humble bazaar? 
 _partner_say Greetings to you and yours, I am here in search of a new beer to try.  
 _self_act get vial 
 _self_say Ah a beer, a beer... let me see what I may have that might tickle the good customer's fancy.  Are you of a mind of a fine, sparkling beer, such that faeries might drink?  Or perhaps a stout one, more suitable for hearty orcs? 
 _partner_say hmm I shall try the stout as I am a mans man. I deserve the best beer, for I provide for my family and deserve it.  
 _self_act give vial to customer 
 _self_say Of course, good sir, I could see the moment you walked in that you were a man to be reckoned with.  Now this vial here, I enchanted myself.  Simply hold it close and recite "Fee Fi Fo" and pour it into your mug of choice.  It will serve you the finest beer your heart could desire, and works twice a day! 
 _partner_say why thank you! Shouldn't a man like me deserve a beer more than twice a day though? 
 _self_say Of course, sir, of course, but the price *ahem* does go up depending on how much you were interested in.  How much of this delectable decanter do you think you'll be enjoying in a day? 
 _partner_say Price is not matter as I am not poor. I work for a living.  
 _self_act get scrolls, 
 _self_say But of course, sir!  I can happily craft for your an unlimited vial, then, if that is your preference.  Let me see... should be on this scroll... no perhaps.. ah here we have it!  If you would just hand me the vial, most honored customer. 
 _partner_say why thank you good sir. perhaps we can work out a deal later as to lower the price over time as a loyal customer.  
 _self_emote ponder 
 _self_say I'm certain that an illustrious customer such as yourself and I could work out some sort of... arrangement.  Now, do mind your hands there.  There is a very small chance that this could... well, no I'm sure it will be fine.  A moment while I draw on my concentration from the Powers from Beyond! 
 _partner_say ah sir, what were you getting at there? Sounded like you were to warn me of something? please do tell 
 _self_emote nod 
 _self_say  Cunctis Bera nec ambulet mus!  Videte ne quis vos rabidus populus!  Ah *coughs* there you go!  Don't mind the smoke, that will go away in a few moments.
