"Hi, I am the local alchemist, and I've had a stall in the market, but I'm upgrading to a full shop in town and I need shelves to display all 16 of my potions! I've got my shop sign already and all the potions are ready to go, I just need you to help decorate the shop and display them nicely.

This is how the shop is prepared for you, and I've cast a levitation spell on the potions you see. You can move them around yourself, or just leave them be and build something like a bookshelf like this for me to place them on.

You can change the floor design, the wall color, and make the display as fancy as you'd like. Just make sure I still have my sign and all 16 potions on display.

Thank you! I can't believe I'm going to have my own potion shop!"

Congratulations @HenryYue for winning the event of this side quest! Tons of work went into creating that amazing shop scene; well done. Check you email for how to redeem your PICO-8 license.

I love how scrolling through all of these feel like browsing potion stalls in an RPG town market. @capnclassic, I really like your unique design, especially the alchemy set where the potion is held over a bunsen burner, very creative! I'll be keeping an eye out for you in our future events so I hope to see more from you.
