Almaes the Alchemist's shop

Almaes the Alchemist's Shop was the shop of the gnomish alchemist Almaestaddamir Auldcastle found in Ashabenford, Mistledale, in the late 1300s DR. Within his lab, he produced and sold a variety of alchemical reagents and completed mixtures. Among these were smokepowder, tanglefoot bags, sunrods, and various acids and anti-toxins.

On one occasion, Almaestaddamir made an offer to High Councilor Haresk Malorn to build a machine capable of flinging kegs of smokepowder at drow raiders in order to better defend the dale. The latter politely declined the proposal.
