Location Hanhi's Herbologie

[Regime]

Tonic, Tincture, & Teas. __________

Nestled along the edge of the river of Robern's Reaches in the northeast of the city sits Hanhi's Herbologie, a place where you can acquire almost any sort of herb, tonic and tincture. Although it's not spoken about, Eva Hanhi does have a few darker things that she will offer, but only if you know how to ask her for it, not wanting to publicly display the more sinister items. The shop itself is quite small, with an apartment above which Hanhi and her shop keeper Sara share, so if anyone tries to break in she can be readily available to defend what is hers.

As you enter the building you'll notice and interesting little jingle, a bell that Sara proudly connected to the door so that whenever a patron enters the store she can be alerted and come to escort them, sometimes in hopes that the patron may tip, but mostly she tries to find out what you need and keep an eye on slick hands trying to pilfer. Even before entering the shop, if you stand close enough to the door you can smell the distinct odor of the potent herbs that are hanging through out the store drying, the most overwhelming being that of the sage and lavender.

Looking around you'll notice that every wall in the shop has a shelf, drawer or hanging basket filled to the brim with bottles, jars and boxes each labeled appropriately so that they won't be confused and improperly mixed. Sara and Eva are proud to keep the store as organized and neat as possible but they also try to stock every herb, oil and concoction they can get their hands on and this can sometimes give a feeling of the store being stuffy.

Off to the left of the store is a long wooden and glass counter, displaying the more potent of the herbal mixtures under lock and key. The only way to access these are through asking for them from Eva herself, even Sara does not have access to these as Eva carries the key for the lock around her neck. The more expensive tools and equipment also reside with in the case, set on display to temp even the poorest of herbologists.

A wooden topped counter with weights, measuring tools and equipment stands proudly in the center of the little shop so that Eva can keep her eyes on the entire store while helping patrons purchase their wares and make sure that they are getting the correct amount. Protective of the hard earned and stored herbs, Eva will not let just anyone measure their own items. Very particular in how things are stored, kept and distributed she would rather go the extra mile, even dealing with all sorts of persons who enter the store, so that she can make sure that someone will not try to over pour or skimp mizas from her.

If requested from Eva, there is a small staircase located in the back of the store, leading to the rooftop, above the sunroom attached to the back of the building. No one has access to the sunroom as this is Eva and Sara's private sanctuary where the most dangerous of herbs for the store are grown and harvested. However, through the top of the glass it can be viewed and sometimes Eva or Sara can be spotted tending to the delicate plants or mixing up some of the bigger batches of balms, soaps and oils. The most common of the herbs are grown in nooks and crannies all over the rooftop, trying to utilize as much space as possible within city limits. Although you could probably pluck the herbs while meandering the rooftop, it is highly frowned upon and if caught by Eva or Sara they will take matters into their own hands and you will have to return the stolen items.

Along with the herbs and pots on the roof are a few seating areas, the vantage point of the rooftop gives a nice overview of the city, which has started to become a preferred spot of those who want to spy on people in the surrounding area. There are two different seating areas, one is along the backside of the building, if you look over the fencing from this area it gives you an fairly decent overview of the small alleyway. The other seating area is up a small staircase and has the most of the view of the city as it sits above the fencing the surrounds the rooftop. It's signifactly smaller then the area below it but there is enough room for at least two people.

If you want to use either of the seating areas you have to request from either Eva or Sara. You can rent one of the seating areas (the pricing is listed below), however if you want complete privacy from prying ears, you can also pay extra to have a secluded area to discuss business or pleasure. While on the rooftop, you can request to purchase different types of soothing teas to enjoy while relaxing on the wooden common area, or even the higher tier with the two person table top.

NPCs, Goods, & Services __________

 

Eva Hanhi

Name: Eva Hanhi
Race: Human
DoB: Summer 3, 478 AV
PoB: Sunberth
Title: Herbologist / Apothecarian
Skills: Organization: 66, Herbalism: 52, Botany: 51, Weapon (Sickle): 51, Leadership: 37, Teaching: 36, Philtering: 30, Intimidation: 28, Brawling: 26, Mathematics: 15
Gnosis: N/A

Additional Info:
Eva is usually warm and welcoming, her plants keep her relaxed and peaceful. You'll usually not find her in the main area of the store as she prefers to be tending to the plants in the back or creating some new concoction. She likes to keep things organized almost to the point of obsession because if it's difficult for her to find then the longer it takes for her to make her products, this need for neatness tends to spark conflict between her and Sara. If requested she will come out for special purchases or to receive pay for exclusive access to the rooftop party. While she generally is quite laid back if a patron is caught stealing or causing trouble she will take matters into her own hands and make sure that they are removed from the facility at the tip of a farming hand-sickle. If there is an item that you are unable to find on a shelf or cupboard, you'll have to request for Eva to make it for you, the more complicated items may take up to a few days to produce.

 

Sara Kin

Name: Sara Kin
Race: Human
DoB: Winter 36, 495 AV
PoB: Syliras
Title: Shop Keeper
Skills: Socialization: 55, Weapon (Dagger): 30, Negotiation: 27, Herbalism: 25, Organization: 20, Mathematics: 10
Gnosis: N/A

Additional Info:
Sara works in the main part of the store and is the person you are most likely going to encounter while shopping. Although she is familiar with herbs and can help with finding the herbs that you may be in search of, she has not be taught how to mix more then just the basic items, mostly just to make the teas requested for the rooftop patio. Overall Sara is friendly and cordial while she escorts people around the shop, mostly just so she can squeeze a tip out of the person to add to the meager pay that she receives. If there is a more complicated question then the basic you can ask Sara to retrieve Eva.

If you want to utilize the tables on the roof, you can ask her and she will show you to a table and even offer to take an order for almost any tea (within reason). While Sara and Eva do get along for the most part, they do see each other every day and live together above stairs, this will sometimes cause Sara to be in a bad mood and not be polite to customers. She's generally organized but sometimes will forget to put things back and this fuels the bickering that happens between her and Eva, as Eva likes to keep everything neat and tidy.
