Cydric Gillsman

Cydric Gillsman is a potion merchant in Vasselheim. He previously worked out of a tent, but now co-owns an actual store. As an NPC, Cydric is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
When Grog first met Cydric, he was dressed in a fine velvet maroon tunic and carrying a small satchel by his side.

Grog first met Cydric in Vasselheim where he was selling potions from a tent along the road. The two of them bartered, with Cydric offering a Potion of Stone Giant Strength in return for all fourteen of Grog's dragon teeth and two vials of dragon blood. The goliath then haggled the price up to all of the teeth and three blood vials, which the merchant gladly accepted.

Grog later told Vex'ahlia what he had done, and the furious ranger cast Hunter's Mark on the merchant so that she could find him again later.

Vox Machina encountered Cydric in Vasselheim after the Chroma Conclave's attack on Emon. The merchant remembered Grog, but Vex'ahlia remembered him, and the ensuing conversation resulted in Vex and Kashaw threatening Cydric and his family.

Vox Machina once again met Cydric in Vasselheim while looking for a place to buy potions. They entered a store and were surprised to see Cydric standing behind the counter. Understandably wary after their last encounter, he briefly explained how he now owned an actual shop, along with his co-owners. It was at this point that they finally learned his name. Cydric refused to do any business with Vex, who was still hostile towards him. The only person he was willing to deal with was Grog.
