Varisia

Pillbug’s Pantry is Sandpoint’s local herbalist and alchemy shop, tucked away on a quiet side street near the edge of town. The shop is small and dimly lit, with a crooked sign depicting a curled-up pillbug hanging above the door. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of dried herbs, exotic spices, and alchemical concoctions. Shelves are lined with glass jars filled with powders, roots, and potions, neatly labeled in precise handwriting. Bundles of herbs hang from the ceiling, and the countertop is cluttered with mortar and pestle sets, scales, and vials. The shop is owned by Aliver Podiker, a short, round man with a perpetually nervous demeanor. Known for his secretive nature and shady connections, he is nonetheless respected for his skill in brewing potions and remedies. Locals visit Pillbug’s Pantry for medicinal herbs, healing potions, and occasionally more dubious concoctions, but they always watch their words around the cagey shopkeeper.
