| | =====Kori===== |
| | |
| Kori is a female pixie that operates a potion store inside of [[Goldvale]]. Her backstory is that she initially lived in a grotto in the southern part of the area and pedaled potions to those who passed by, but eventually she stepped up her game and rooted herself in the town proper. Since she's tiny she has a store assistant named Gene, which is short for GeneRIC. He is otherwise undefined and plays no viable roll other than being store help. Both of these characters arose when I first played out the town a few years back with a different group of players. | Kori is a female pixie that operates a potion store inside of [[Goldvale]].

| | ====Potions==== |
| |
| HEALING POTIONS: Kori sells standard D&D healing potions at PHB prices. | HEALING POTIONS: Kori sells standard D&D healing potions at PHB prices. |
| STICKER POTIONS: She also sells what I call "sticker potions" wherein I buy packs of stickers on Amazon that have cutsie archaic potion names or wording on them. Sliding out a few stickers any new day the players visit Kori and insisting they are worth between 5-25 gold in most cases, and the potion therein is based on whatever the sticker says, with the DM/Player understanding that it'll do something in the ballpark of whatever the wording is, usually determined favorably by the DM at the time of use. This allows for a lot of potions to be in the game that don't exist in normal D&D lore, and there's no question of if they have used a potion yet or not because when they do finally use one and we interpret what it does, they are made to peel the sticker and place it on their PHB or something to show it got used. My players like stickers, so this works well. An example would be if they bought one with the words, "Crow's Sight" on it. There'd be zero actual definition of what it does until someone drank it. Then we'd determine the outcome. Keeps it mysterious. Some of these potion type stickers you can find on Amazon are pretty creative too. | STICKER POTIONS: She also sells what I call "sticker potions" wherein I buy packs of stickers on Amazon that have cutsie archaic potion names or wording on them.

| HISTORICALLY: In the past version of Goldvale with other players Kori eventually started trying to franchise her potions via expansions into other cities. Little quests can be generated from there if it goes that way again. Guarding potion shipments, playing bodyguard for Kori herself to deal with possible business partners, etc. | ====KORIFIRE BOTTTLE==== |
| | |
| | A new product by Kori designed to thrill adventurers and generate more gold for herself is the "**Korifire Bottle**". It is a non magical fluid in a 12oz sealed glass sphere. When the sphere breaks, usually by crashing into something as a missile weapon, **2d4 Fire Damage** is achieved. These cost **4 gold each** and as a rule nobody may carry more than 3 at a time without being able to firmly describe how they're keeping all the glassware from breaking. |
