Trivia
- The title makes a suggestion on how to choose which orifice.
- In video games the color of the potion often gives a clue as to its effect. Since none of the potions are red, it is likely that all of them provide various buffs, rather than healing, which Haley doesn't need.
- In a flashback in #531 it is revealed that Haley spent 5000 gp to buy the dozen +1 flaming arrows which she uses here from a duergar (grey dwarf) arms trader.
