A sad end to the tale, but one that hits close to home, given medieval fantasy economies- the old shillings and tuppences ain't what they used to be, especially since mamonos evolved to stop exploding into money upon death (good days for adventurers, those were).

Unless you're in Skyrim and become a master alchemist. Then you just go out picking flowers for an hour and suddenly you have the means to brew enough potions to bankrupt every shop in the country, starting mass protests and riots due to overinflation and the complete failure of merchants to understand the basic concept of not bankrupting oneself for one potion of health regeneration.

And yes, that even includes if the adventurer selling it put it in a really shiny bottle.
