Description: An unassuming shop in Loki District, A Pinch is situated on a side street in sight of the hospital in Sigyn. It is just enough off the beaten path that word of mouth is part of what gets it regular clientele. The building is a single story structure with a small greenhouse and porch in back, surrounded by an six foot tall stone wall. Within, guests are assailed by the pungent aroma of cured and treated herbs. Cloves of garlic and wolfsbane hang behind the counter. The relatively cramped space allows for customers to see a collection of well selected herbs for display purposes. A few shelves along the walls next to it offer common herbal, over-the-counter cures for minor ailments and vitamin supplements for healthy living.

Most customers are not permitted beyond the front of the building. Within the back rooms are Samantha's workshop and storage space for product. Orders are placed and usually ready within an hour of the request, prepared in the back in a safe, clean environment. It is within this back area that she carries her limited stock of magical herbs and illicit materials. Her greenhouse has been rebuilt twice in her time in Asgard. The second time, she has re-inforced it heavily, and it is carefully protected to avoid both theft and further damage. Half of it contains natural herbs cultivated for medicinal cures, and the other half contains six magical herbs Samantha cultivates to help protect her supply of magical herbs in Asgard: Firefly Bloom, Featherdraw, Dubh Cosac, Affadil, Vendelthorn, Wolfnettle. Her remaining alchemical stock is drawn in trade with Alfheim.

Side Business:
-Samantha is a Fence. She will buy and sell stolen property to contacts in Loki District. This being one of the seedier, lower-income districts in the area, one doesn't run a business here without at least being aware of the less reputable people living there. Samantha is willing, so long as she trusts you or someone has vouched for you, to handle Fencing or smuggling jobs as the point of sale.
Note: With trade to Utgard blocked, Samantha is no longer able or willing to continue her trade in stolen goods.
