Herb Bundles

You find yourself at a small wayside village on the way to the city. The roads have been treacherous, and you are all suffering the consequences. The party is hoping you can resupply for the last leg of journey, but as you are looking for a general store or an inn you come across an odd little shop.

The roof is low, and the exterior covered by untamed climbers. The only spot left visible is the sign that reads Aunt Aggies Herbs and Medicines. Not exactly what you were looking for but perhaps they have healing potions you can buy. The woman inside fills the room to a degree you find unnatural, but she does have what you're after, and a perhaps a lot more. 

 

Types, Properties and Cost

When wanting to use such a bundle the owner must spend 10 minutes either focusing, burning, or muttering an incantation to release the energy stored inside. After 1 use the plants become magically defunct.

Alternatively, dried versions of most bundles can be bought for smudging purposes, however these cost 100gp as they may be used up to 3 times become the plants become defunct.
