The man himself is quite small, even for a dwarf. His stubby arms and short legs are supplimented by a large bench that he walks along behind his stall, giving him access to all of his wares at anytime. Unlike other dwarves in his line of business (at least in this area of the city) he does not seem accustomed to arms and armour. Several large pouches hang securely at his waist as well as a small holster within which a slender wand rests, it seems like this man may be more than meets the eye.After a quick survey of the area Taran fails to spot any women obviously working for the dwarf, making his job suddenly that much harder.[sblock]*Alchemy stalls in the Ivory Markets, as well as in dozens of other markets pread across the city, are not usually what they make out to be.  Snake Oil salesmen at their best, local poisoners at their worst, true alchemists are usually few and far between while common charletans sell fake ointments and remedies to the desperate and needy public that want to believe that they are getting better.[/sblock]</blockquote>
