What do you do when you're the lone alchemist in a dungeon town and you accidentally burn down your old shop?

You get a loan, move into a new shop, and get to work.

Hawke Moonsnow found himself in exactly this situation after a completely-accidental-fire-that-totally-wasn't-an-experiment-gone-wrong burned down his previous shop. The Adventurer's Guild paid for the new shop, under the conditions he repay the loan and sell potions at a discounted rate to newbie adventuring parties. That's not a problem. You know what is a problem? Catching the eye of the waitress at the local tavern while trying to generate enough income to expand a too-small shop and upgrade archaic alchemy tools. Welcome to the daily life of an prodigious alchemist that many people think is more like a Golden Retriever than a scientist.
