From that page (might as well cover 'em all in one shot):
NO:
Alchemist's Mineral Acid, no.
YES:
Blackwater
Caveharp
Darkoil
Darkvision-invisible paint
Shriek paste
Spelunker's Kit
I am willing to re-tool the price and damage dealt by alchemist's mineral acid--are you still interested?
In general, how I would like to handle the purchase of equipment is for each player to send me a list of what they want to buy and I'll let you know yes or no it's available and at what cost. You do not need to do this for mundane gear listed in the PHB. You may simply assume that you are able to purchase anything and at any quantity you wish at the PHB listed price. Just go ahead and add it to the character sheet you maintain in the Rogues Gallery. I'm downloading the Rogues Gallery thread any time that I feel things in there may have been edited or added to just in case the site goes down again.
I should have done this earlier, but today I will spend some time to cull through the Underdark, FRCS, Magic of Faerun, and CotSQ module to see which of the equipment I will allow. I'll come back here later today and post a list. I'm aware that not everyone has all these books--if something on the list sparks your imagination, please e-mail me about it so that we can talk offline about details without infringing on copyright. And my apologies for not going through these books sooner.

Does Prixo know anything about K'yorl's House?
Prixo is attempting to purchase trail rations that will fit in the 2nd compartment of his Efficient Quiver. He will purchase up to 15 days worth if that would all fit.
BTW, do we know how far it is to Maerimydra, how many days? Since Prixo came from there I would think he would.

Hello all,
I am back from my "vacation" in the desert. I will be here for about 6 weeks, then I will need another break while I go on a much longer "vacation". Once I am set up I can play while out there. I must apologize in advance if my absance causes a lack of reality for your characters, however duty calls. I look forward to playing with you all. You have all done great with your characters. This should prove to be interesting indeed.

I rolled an Intelligence check for Prixo (since Knowledge(local)) is a trained skill. Maerimydra is one of the largest drow cities in the Underdark. Prixo has heard of House Vrinn but doesn't know anything about it. House Vrinn isn't one of the major noble Houses and therefore word of its doings don't get around quite as widespreadly as other news might.
According to the description of the Quiver of Ehlonna in the 3.5 DMG, a quiver isn't really intended to be used as a backpack. I don't really care, though, as long as you don't get too abusive with things. Devoting one of the three chambers to small food items like nuts, strips of dried meat, etc. should be fine. Since Prixo is a bow specialist, you may want to use the javelin compartment over the arrow or the bow compartment for food storage. The javelin compartment is slightly longer than the other two and can hold up to 18 javelins. Whatever you feel you can reasonably fit in there for food will suffice. I note that Prixo does have two backpacks in his current inventory, though. Were you wanting to put the food in the quiver to reduce encumbrance?
As the crow might fly, Maerimydra is a bare 100 miles through the Underdark from Szith Morcane. Since there isn't a straight line or direct travel route available from Szith Morcane to Maerimydra, however, the journey is likely to take longer. I put it at perhaps a month. On an out-of-game note, I don't intend to have there be a major encounter every day; for days when nothing of note happens, I intend to fast forward through that portion--unless players have something that needs to be done or that they want to do.

Per the 3.5 MM, duergar are flat-out immune to poison. All poison. Hael, being duergar, would of course know that. What this might reveal with regard to the duergar apparently croaking of poison back in the Playhouse...well...I shall leave you to your own assumptions.
