Bottled Trouble
Apothecary
Overview
Bottled Trouble is a lively apothecary packed with colorful draughts, exotic reagents, and concoctions gathered or devised from across Vaeria. Run by a small collective of kobold alchemists, the shop specializes in unusual potions and practical solutions for adventurers willing to accept that occasionally, a little trouble is exactly what they need.
Proprietor
Nixi Vell
Kobold (blue) – Apothecary
A blue-scaled kobold with bright eyes, an easy smile, and a perpetually stained leather apron. Friendly, quick-witted, and remarkably unflappable, she handles customers with the relaxed confidence of someone thoroughly accustomed to strange noises coming from the back room.

There’s a sudden flash of purple and green light behind the curtain, followed by a strange scent that somehow manages to be both enticing and revolting.
Nixi glances toward the curtain, waits a moment, then apparently decides that whatever just happened doesn’t require her attention. She turns back to you with the same easy smile.
