Outland Herbalist

Outland Herbalist (#19/28; #50/365)

This mud-brick villa very close to the Gate of Stone is festooned with clumps of herbs drying in the afternoon sun, and surrounded by terracotta pots full of yet more plants, succulents, and cacti, all growing strong under an azure sky. The herbalist is Kalsha Mossfriend (short-sighted, sensible), a spectacles-wearing Half-Elf clad in purple robes, who hawks their wares on a large slate, upon which have been chalked prices for whatever herbs are currently available.

Kalsha occasionally hires adventurers to accompany them on herb-gathering expeditions into the wilderness; while Kalsha expects the adventuring companions to be appropriately armed and armoured, they themself usually carry just a gardening trowel, a spade, a large straw-hat, a full wineskin, a collection of sample jars, and a book or two describing plants of the local area.

Currently, Kalsha has the following herbs for sale (given page numbers are all for The Titan Herbal):

• Axeplant (p. 20) 6 vials (of Blade Venom) for 10GP each
