Attention Adventurers and Gatherers The following items are sought after, and coin will be given to those who can deliver.

• Flesh Fungus This fungus has short, almost non-existent, hard stalk that supports a short, dome-shaped, soft mass that can grow to be nearly the size of a human hand. The bulbs have a light tan color, and feel much like the fleshy part of the palm of a hand. When harvested, care must be taken to not separate the bulb from the stalk, for by the time that they are delivered, they will be mostly useless. The fungus grows in many environments, but is exceedingly rare, as when one develops, it is unusual for another to grow near the first, except in extreme circumstances. I will offer 100 gold pieces for each complete specimen, and 10 gold pieces for any without the base.

• Blackwood Mushrooms In the Underdark, these are also rare, and can range from a tiny pollop to large, human sized growth. This size usually varies with the location, and an open location with sufficient airflow will yield the largest. The usefullness of the mushroom does not vary with size, however, so if a large one is found, only the small spouts and spores that grow from it should be taken, to preserve the original specimen. I only require an amount that will fill an open hand, and would pay 50 gold pieces for such.

• Silk Glands from Ettercaps Ettercaps should not be seeked or engaged unless you are prepared for it. If any are slain, their silk glands should be harvested. Like most spiders, ettercaps have silk glands located in their abdomen, and only a small incision is required to procure the gland. Any leading silk should be cut from it, so only the unprocessed silk is left inside it. I will pay 10 gold pieces for any recovered gland.

• Bitterweed These plant masses grow in viney entanglements near any source of light. Once they have matured, they will persist for a long time, even if the light is removed, and almost refuse to deteriorate. I will assess the size of the amount that is collected once it is brought to me. Expect near 15 coins for a condensed handful.

• Rockspider Venom This substance should be handled with extreme caution for numerous reasons. No information will be posted publicly. If you are already able to gather this safely and in its pure form, I will speak to you. Payment will not be immediate.

I, Strife, can be found in the Rock Bottom. Do not leave any materials or substances for me unless you have spoken to me beforehand.

The responsibility for your safety remains your own, but your success may bring safety to others.

The old notices are dug back up and reposted on top of their respective boards. The listings for ettercap silk glands and blackwood mushrooms, along with their descriptions, are blotted out from each message.

As well as these commodities, I require a rarer set of potion bottles. I will pay:

• Two hundred gold pieces for a crystal bottle.
• Three hundred gold pieces for a diamond bottle.

For the time being, I, Strife, only seek a small quantity of these special bottles. Five will be the maximum that I request. If you are an artisan, or know of one, that works with these two materials, I would also like to speak to you personally on the topic of future business venues. As well as that, I am also still seeking a pot large enough to fit a small child. If you are in possession of one, I will appreciate the listing. I will attempt to respond to any messages left here, or simply write to my name within the Rock Bottom and I shall write back.
