Plumbus Gelt was an alchemist working in Lupravia.

He was working from a market stall in Vargenhof when an adventurer passed through and the Werebeast was active. Described as an eccentric with patched robes, wild hair, and scorched eyebrows, Gelt was willing to sell stock items and to manufacture products on demand using his stock of metal, a crucible, a brazier, a pestle, and a mortar.

He sold the following items:

• Healing Potion (4 GP)
• Elixir of Expertise (6 GP)
• Fare-Thee-Well (5 GP)
• Lead Bullets (4 GP)
• Silver Bullets (6 GP)
• Iron Padlock (5 GP)
• Brass Key (4 GP)

Gelt did not actually stock Silver Bullets but was willing to melt down silver items such as Silver Daggers, Silver Crosses, and Silver Candlesticks to make 6 bullet from each. Time constraints restricted him to making 12 bullets from 2 items. He was also unaware of how he obtained the Brass Key. (The Brass Key actually activated a Clockwork Automaton in Castle Wulfen.)
