The Bubbling Cauldron
The Bubbling Cauldron is the alchemy shop in Almdale run by Kerem Glowstone. The shop itself is a maze of books, potions, crystals, and salves all precariously stacked and seemingly about to fall over. All the ingredients and potions are unlabeled. It takes Kerem several minutes to fill even simple orders due to his disorganization.
The shop offers a 10% discount to members of the adventurer's guild and is willing to buy various harvested and collected alchemical wares.
