Babiran the Pixie Babiran is a classic fey merchant who frequents the pool. He always brings only one item (worth less than 2,000 gp, often from those listed in this chapter) and tries to sell it to someone in exchange for some humiliating service. No one knows where he gets the items he sells. Some speculate that he knows the location of a magical treasure hoard deep in the wilderness.

Memory Loss: An opponent struck by the arrow must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 15) or lose all memory. The subject retains skills, languages, and class abilities but forgets everything else until receiving a heal spell or memory restoration with limited wish, wish, or miracle. Sleep: Any opponent struck by the arrow, regardless of Hit Dice, must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 15) or be affected as though by a sleep spell.
Spells Most of the spells known by regulars at the Pool of Glenmasis are low level or deal with minor or subtle subjects. Many of them are available to adepts, as well as to the more traditional classes.
