Spleck's Wares is a familiar sight in many a country town, a lovingly-decorated little covered wagon with a blue-and-yellow striped awning, staffe by a friendly Lizardfolk who sells magical potions and curatives. The proprietor is charming and friendly, and always willing to apply a discount if someone has a story of urgent need or heart's desire. It also won't entirely guarantee that it's not selling snake-oil (with a big sideways wink).
Spleck seems to have a habit of occasionally selling what you actually need, instead of what you ask for, so most of the time you'll get a potion that makes you able to focus in a situation, and sometimes you'll get hallucinogenics that make you capable of understanding the entire universe in excruciating detail for a few hours. Spleck offers no refunds for these occasions, explaining that the path of destiny sometimes takes you to places you cannot expect. How you can use Spleck's Wares in your game: - Spleck is a well-respected traveling merchant, and might offer payment to a few low-level adventurers in the way of a handful of potions, to be distributed at the end of a journey they have spent guarding the wagon. - More capable adventurers might seek out Spleck for a potion which cures petrification, poison, or even recent death. Spleck might offer all these and more, but might demand the story of why the target needs such a curative. - High-level adventurers might begin to realize that the things Spleck offers are technically not even possible, and start to wonder how these potions are manufactured, let alone distributed seemingly on a whim.
