>You can't have my strongest potion, it could kill even a dragon!
Ok so it's not a potion, what you made is poison.
Potion Seller is a fricking scumbag
If he can boast about being able to kill a dragon, then they should be large in the universe.
But if it were a small dragon, it would be even worse. It's like advertising your potion to be capable of killing a small dog.
It recovers so much HP that you have a heart attack. Dragons have very large health bars but if it’s low enough, the potion would restore it too full health.
I always thought he needed the potions to kill something, not for himself. Perhaps the potion seller was warning him of the consequences of his actions.
His strongest potion is a concentrate, meant to be watered down to usable levels. Potion seller knew the knight was too moronic to understand this, let alone do it.
It's more akin to the amount of adrenaline you need to inject into a dying person's heart to start them back up. That would be extremely unhealthy for a normal person, but for someone with a lot of vitality, it's like dumping a cup of potion into a bathtub instead of a bucket.
I could see that as being true. If we spitball how a potion would work, maybe it hypercharges your body to recreate itself. It has a some stored information in what form you existed 7 days ago (around 7 years was total cell change AFAIR?). If a minor healing potion just gives you enough juice to heal 10% of your HP, you would be giving yourself enough juice to close of major wounds, maybe mend a bone. The strongest potion would be enough to recreate a man at least twice over. Can it even be considered healing if your body is dissolving your current flesh and bones, making a new pair and doing it again? I assume you'd need to still keep your mind clear for it to work without passing out or worse.
A strong enough potion could fully heal the body as it was, but leave your soul unattached because the organic bits were remade so intensely, the vessel-spirit connection would need to be recreated akin to being birthed again.
Why should the potion seller be forced to sell the knight his strongest potions?
If the potion could indeed harm the night, he could be held legally responsible for it depending on the jurisdiction
The traveler does not make a convincing argument. The whole time he says he needs them because he is going into battle. He never explains what kind of battle, and why it's so important. I bet you the potion seller didn't want to take a side in politics.
The Potion Seller was a very poor merchant. If your potions are so strong there's rarely anyone who can even buy it, why even have your shop open to the public? It seems better to do specific orders for select "strong" clients. To refuse the Knight, not knowing what he's capable of, was really bad customer service and a bad way to run a business.
The next problem is that the Potion Seller was assuming that the Knight was planning on drinking the potions. If said potions are so powerful they could slay a dragon, who's to say the Knight was going to drink it, and not just throw it at the dragon to defeat it? It sounds to me like the Potion Seller was just being petty and argumentative.
Lastly, why should he care what happens to the Knight? A sale is a sale, and he didn't seem the type of person to really care about the Knight's well-being with how much he was insulting and belittling him.
>If your potions are so strong there's rarely anyone who can even buy it, why even have your shop open to the public?
Those are only his strongest potions, not all of them.
>Why respect knights when my potions can do anything you can?
It's pretty clear Potion Seller was a high-up member or even leader of some kind of cartel, to be able to reject the lawbringers of the land so thoroughly. If he started selling to knights then his dirty baggage would start coming to the forefront.

What if the dragon was really small? I don't think they had a FDA (Food and Dragon Administration) back then to regulate dragon sizes

its clearly made for deities and demi-gods.

>Uh bro the potions must be bad in some way
Fricking sour grape knights ITT. If it was poison, then why did the dopey knight want it so bad?

Eh... the only difference between medicine and poison is the dosage.

The knight for lacking basic knowledge about alchemy.

Goodbye Poison Buyer, I am going back home, and I want to offer you my weakest poison.
Potion seller has the right to refuse service. If he sells a potion to some weak-ass knight and he dies from it, it's his reputation on the line.
>Buy Dove soap from Walmart
>Shove it up my ass
>WTF DOVE WTF WALMART MY ASS IS BLEEDING
How is his reputation on the line?
>Buy medicine that requires a recipe without it
>Misuse it and get hurt
>Drugstore clerk is penalized
HE FELL IN LOVE WITH A PIZZA

>knight is confused and somewhat entitled
>potion seller is arrogant and has terrible customer service
Refute this
>Refute this
I think they are the same person, we should at least examine the possibility
>go to a pharmacy and get mad when you can't buy things you don't have prescriptions for
Do americans really?
why did the knight ask for the strongest potions? why didnt he ask for medium or small ones? the knight in the wrong imo
What if he meant the strongest potions that the knight could handle.
>give me the strongest potion I can handle, potion seller
>*hands him a milk bottle*
>"Yerr, lightweight, babieee"
In a perfect world
Men like the potion seller would not exist
But this is not a perfect world.
Seller has the right to sell to whoever he wants . His products he makes for recreation shouldn’t be demanded by an arrogant whelp

The knight just barged in and demanded the strongest potions. He was clearly a substance abuser
whatever you say, dr goldfiend I mean goldstein
Wtf am I looking at?
Millenial meme, was before your time.
So have the knight sign a waver and then wring his pockets
