Alchemist Rub
Challenge 3: A Fellow Alchemist
Primary CheckCrafting DC 13
If the party includes an alchemist, Morwenna recognizes a fellow practitioner and is willing to open her stores of raw alchemical ingredients. Her supply of finished goods is strained, but she still has dried herbs, mineral salts, fungal cultures, oils, resins, and other reagents that can be turned into useful preparations by someone who knows what they're doing.

Raw Ingredients for Sale
- Alchemical Reagent Bundle — 1 gp Raw ingredients sufficient to provide 1 gp of material toward Crafting common alchemical items.
Adventure Use: Blight Research
Once the party learns the formula for Blight Seedling Neutralizer, these bundles can provide the ordinary alchemical components needed to prepare it. A bundle does not replace any special reagent required by the formula, such as uncorrupted golden cedar amber, and generic reagents poured onto a seedling have no effect by themselves.
Critical Success Morwenna is impressed by the alchemist's knowledge and gives them access to her best stock. She sells Alchemical Reagent Bundles at a 20% discount.
Success Morwenna is satisfied that the alchemist knows how to handle the materials safely. She sells Alchemical Reagent Bundles at their normal price.
Failure Morwenna is unconvinced by the alchemist's technique, but recognizes enough competence to sell them a limited quantity of Alchemical Reagent Bundles at their normal price.
Critical Failure Morwenna decides the alchemist is likely to waste the reagents—or set something on fire. She refuses to sell them raw ingredients today, though her normal shop inventory remains available.
