Bellowgulp Bluefingers is a Svirfneblin who handles the potions trade for his myconid manufacturer due to the myconid's inability to speak common tongue. When approached, the myconid, who is named Keen-Scentin' Concocter of Marvelous Draughts, will defer to Bellowgulp for conversational purposes, yet is the real alchemist behind the store's offerings.
Bellowgulp is cheerful despite being Baeloth's or Dennaton's captive.
Concocter's Stores[]
- Main article: Keen-Scentin' Concocter of Marvelous Draughts
There are four versions of the Concocter and related stores:
- The Black Pits version, which has three different tiers resulting in three stores
- Siege of Dragonspear version
- Throne of Bhaal version in Neera's companion quest Destroying the Order of Eight Staves
- Gladiators of Thay version (only one store, no tiers; same as Throne of Bhaal except for stock numbers)
The Black Pits[]
The Concocter's palette of offered potions increases with the party's progress throughout the various "Tiers" of the arena battles. Items from earlier Tiers will be still available later and previously purchased ones restocked. The basics of the store remain the same, such as markups, deprecation rate and services.
Siege of Dragonspear[]
The Concocter and Bellowgulp Bluefingers are located in the northern portion of the Underground River. For this store:
- he sells twenty-six items including one only found in this game
- has a good stock of most items
- does not ignore reputation
- charges a standard deprecation rate of 5%.
Throne of Bhaal Enhanced Edition (Neera)[]
During Destroying the Order of Eight Staves, you come to the staging area in Dennaton's mansion. This has the same merchants with more or less the same offering, however with quantities adjusted. In the Concocter's case:
- he sells two more items
- reduced stock of most items
- does not ignore reputation
- charges a standard deprecation rate of 5%.
The Black Pits II: Gladiators of Thay[]
In this edition of The Black Pits there are no tiers when it comes to store stock. All stores have the same stock. More expensive items are instead obtained by donations from the audience.
The store ignores the party's reputation when calculating prices as there is no way to alter the reputation of the party in the pits. However, its prices are generally 25% cheaper than is standard in Baldur's Gate II and he doesn't charge a deprecation rate, which is a little compensation.
