11. Heinz’s potion shop – Famous for its random potion with 57 different effects.
12. Red Bear’s Maps – A map store, with maps from almost anywhere. When you ask the owner, a native-like druid, how does he have a map of the inside of the BBEG’s HQ, he just says “I know a guy. He owed me one.” or random bullshit like that.

21. Barry’s Botanical Bar – a pub made from living plants, you have to ask the doors to open (bonus points if you make them say a catchphrase of the pub or just say please nicely and mean it) the drinks all taste HORRIBLE earthy, probably because they use roots twisted together as the barrels
