Potions are almost always the product of Voodoo or rarer Mayan/Carib/Arawak magic traditions. Generally they don't taste like raspberries and honey. Saucily stuff is usually involved. So getting potions usually means a trip to a mambo or houngan (voodoo priestess/priest). IIRC Doctor Hawken has the herbalism kit proficiency, allowing him to concoct healing potions.Scrolls are somewhat rare outside the the halls of magical schools (like the Academie Royale des Sciences, or equivalent in other nations), though with a bit of digging one can probably find someone who can sell a couple scrolls even in a smaller port like Nassau. Native traditions sometimes have unusual scrolls on clay tablets or stranger things, and Veve symbols are commonly used as scrolls for certain kinds of Voodoo magic.Magic items (swords, armor, wands, and such) are almost never traded. If one or two are for sale (alwyas private auction, never open to public) you can bet there will be more ships at port and some very wealthy bidders with heavily armed guards.</blockquote>
