Mechanus, the great Gnomish Capitol

Kyjia frowned as she emptied the contents of her pockets into her ingredients cupboards. She had so few ingredients, it could actually be singular, cupboard. But she spread them out, organizing and labeling them. It was probably a pride thing.
But the lack of ingredients was definately a funds thing. Or a lack thereof. In fact, she hadn't even bought the ingredients she had. She had spent the day collecting them; cave walls, fertile plots of ground, everywhere. She was one of the few gnomes willing to go Aboveground to look for potions, although it was quite a trip and she hadn't much opportunity to do it. Collecting was actually quite fun; she collected everything she found: everything biotic and a few things not. She collected it whether she knew what it was or not; if she did, it was cool to regocnize it; if she didn't, it was fun to experiment with later. But she did wish she had the funds, so she could by special, interesting things, specific things she needed for potions. She should be getting ingredients based on potions she had in mind, not making potions based on ingredients she had. It resulted in a lot of trivial potions of almost no value, like a mold dying potion, or a potion to make your sneezes more forceful.
Suddenly, while looking through her supplies, Kyjia froze. What was that? A jar of a shiny, oozy substance that seemed to shift around in the jar as she looked at it. That was... Jyslbed Spider goo. Or guts. Or whatever you call that slimy stuff that spiders keep in their abdomens. Kyjua knew it doubled as the spiders venom. It was corrosive enough to melt simple metals but stable enough to be easily controlled. Extremely useful on the streets; it would dissolve locks, and could be used to cause extreme pain and nerve damage (the effect on nerves also made it useful in medicine). It was also very rare. The entire jar, about the size of Kyjia's head, would have come from one spider. They were big, and had an attitude, and to get the goo, they had to be killed. That didn't happen too often. All this together made the ooze very expensive. More than she could afford. So, where'd she get it?
She'd stolen it. She must'ave. "She" being Jykia. Kyjia sat down, fingers on the bridge of her nose.
