The Alchemist and the Owl

It seems so long ago, Claire was an adventurer without really knowing what that meant. It sounded so romantic, so enigmatic, and so exciting. For a while, it was. She traveled with friends and with lovers and they all relied on each other. She kept them alive with her knowledge of medicine and they kept her alive with their knowledge of fighting. Then one day, all of the fighting and the medicine wasn't enough, and she couldn't keep them alive. Not one of them. She tried to drag one of them out of the undead infested tomb where they had met their fate, but she could only drag the smallest one. Why did she have to be so weak? It was the only other woman in the group. She wasn't quite dead then, but all of the medicines in the world couldn't save her, and Claire was broken inside. The only friend that had survived with her was her dear owl, Hephaestus.

There's a small town named Fendol that at first glance is in the middle of nowhere, but it's found on the most direct route between the capital city of Antium and the port city of Belliot. To the east is the sea and for thirty miles in any direction is absolutely nothing. Fendol has a single store for sundries, a trading post, and nothing else. Food is farmed here, and there is a seasonal farmer's market that sells fruits and vegetables during the summer. Claire has established the only apothecary and inn on the outskirts of Fendol and her inn is the only one in the region. How it's run is up to you. She's the only potion seller and innkeeper here and adventurers passing through are going to come straight to her.

Even being the only innkeeper and apothecary, reputation is everything. Make it a good one.
