Clear Your Shit: Potion Zone (Magical Book)

After a very pleasant walk, we come to a hut that seems to be selling magic potions... in the middle of the woods. We could use a few potions just in case we run into anything else that seems to want to slow us down for some reason. So we go in and the woman dusting the shelves looks an awful lot like a witch. Heather and I give each other a questioning glance? Could this be the Witch that the Wizard told us about when we set off on this quest? She sees us a moment later and greets us. She cuts herself off though once she recognizes that we are adventurers of a sort. She asks us, two complete strangers, just trying to shop if we could do her a favor. We turn her down immediately. There's no way we are going to risk getting any more tangled up in this mess. I browse her shelves, knowing full well her eyes are tracking our every movement closely now that we have rejected her. On her shelves, I see a familiar book, Beyond the Black Door by A.M. Strickland. I pat my bag affectionately knowing my own copy is tucked away safely.
