Curios For Sale
Elfsbane Pipeweed

1 BAG: 3,000 gold pieces

Yeah, just about everybody and their mother asks about this stuff. I don't see what all the fuss is about, myself, but I can't turn down a good product. In case you wondered, it is unlawful for you to possess this herb in most civilised places, so don't say I didn't warn you. And the stuff I sell is pure, not mixed with grass like some of the crap you might find on the streets of Hawk City. But you've got to pay for quality these days and this, ahem, store, is no different.

If you didn't know already, the waking dreams you have when you smoke this stuff are just plain interesting. It will keep you happy for a good three hours, but don't be a glutton or you might end up in happy-land forever. Moderation, my friend, moderation. You can ignore what I say, if you want, but you'd be stupid to. You lose your head in this cloud and it's all your fault. And don't forget, it is mildly poisonous to elves, if the name wasn't clear enough. Enough of this smoke will kill an elf, but you did not hear that from me, heh-heh.

3000 gold a bag, and that'll get you ten smokes of the good stuff. And, no, I don't barter. This is my price, take it or leave it. You want a bargain? Go to the Forestburg Market and see if you can get a better deal for the same quality. I do not have time for haggling. You want a bag or not? Look, my stuff is grown in south-east Steafanoes, dried there and shipped straight to me. I personally check the quality, and you aren't finding good Steafanian smoke all that easy to get these days. I don't have that much left, so you better make up your mind soon.
