First action: Go to (38) Black Dart Apothecary
Second action: Speak with Irston the Dedenne
Black Dart Apothecary is a somewhat large facility that seems to have been constructed out of the ruins of a building that was built a long time ago. Although the property is rather large, only a small portion of it is actually used by Kaskin, the croagunk who serves as the town's healer. You wonder how effective just one healer could be, considering the size of the town and the fact that travellers come through as well. Nevertheless, it's not your job to worry about the details, and you set off searching the area.
The exterior mainly consists of a garden, and you can see that Kaskin - if it's he who takes care of it - seems to be apt at maintaining the plants and the flowers. There are a few rusted or broken seats around the place, though they do not look recently used. The search outside does not get you anywhere after a good portion of time spent searching, so you elect to head inside.
The interior is warm, but you can immediately smell some sort of disinfectant or ointment wafting through. It's simultaneously unpleasantly strong, but also mildly comforting to know that whatever is being used here is probably very effective. You hear someone pattering around, and figure it's probably the croagunk, who you decide to avoid so you don't have to engage in unnecessary conversation.
You continue searching about until you find the medical cabinet, which seems to contain many things you don't think you will need, but there is a roll of bandages that you think could come in handy for something. Maybe those with medical skills could put it to good use.

Nothing else is significant here, so you wrap up your search and move on once you're satisfied with your efforts.

Your next goal is to speak with Irston, who you find in his shop at Fabulous Furnishings. He seems to be busy chatting with Mittlee, a mimikyu who appears to be unable to maintain eye contact with Irston at all. As you get closer, you note that Irston is berating him for an order he must have messed up. However, upon seeing how deflated his companinon is, he seems to be able to switch the conversation quickly to something more positive. Mittlee perks up again, and nods, then scurries off into another part of the store.
Irston sighs, shaking his head slightly as his manufactured smile drops. It's then that he looks up and sees you, his little ears twitching somewhat. He once again adorns his business smile and heads over to you.
"Welcome to Fabulous Furnishings! The only place in Harbour Valley where we design your furniture for you." He holds out a tiny paw and slaps it on the side of yours, unfazed by your lack of participation. "There something you'd like to order?"
You decline his offer politely and begin to explain why you're here and the things you'd like to ask him. His smile wilts until he notices, when he props it back up again. "Those shadow killers are...not a subject we like to discuss in front of customers," Irston tells you, although when you look around, nobody else is in the store. Irston flicks his head toward the back of the shop and says, "Come chat out back."
He leads you through the shop and between the many couches, beds, tables, and all other manners of furniture. Eventually you come into a dusty back room where Mittlee sees the two of you enter, then hurries back out to give you some privacy.
Irston digs through a pile of papers before pulling out a card of some kind. "I've been getting death threats from one of them. Now I didn't do anything to piss it off, I swear. I'm just a simple business dedenne." He hands you the card, which smells of stale blood.

"It's blank on the inside. I don't even know which one sent it to me, but I'm sure it's one of them. Who else would send something like that?" He shakes his head and sighs again. "Look, sorry to cut this short but I got orders to fill, and we're nearly closed for the day. Mittlee might know something if you want to come back tomorrow. Said he found something odd the other day."
"By the way, if you have use for a smooth talker in a pickle, don't hesitate to call on me. Us electric types need to stick together."
Irston the Dedenne has been identified as possessing the Diplomacy perk.
Irston almost politely tries to escort you out, and you take the hint and leave.
