12. The Lotto Grotto: A store that sells magical items, but the item could be cursed or
enchanted, and the buyer only knows after using it once.
13. Gertrude's Trinkets:A dingy magic shop on a back street that sells surprisingly good
(we're talking some top notch stuff here) magic weapons and trinkets for ridiculously
low prices (half the price of normal on average). At midnight anything bought from the
shop returns back to the shop magically, and the shop teleports to another remote
location.
14. The Satyr's Pact: A tavern run by a satyr who offers musicians a deal. If they impress him
and the crowd with a song they earn an instrument that is always in tune and free room
and board for life. If they fail, they work in his tavern for a decade but can audition again
for the same deal, years do add up.
15. Rock Candy: Sells and buys a wide variety of gemstones. The shopkeeper is an Oread
who has a tendency to eat the product, much to the dismay of the shop owner.
16. Scrumdidilyumptious: This bakery is owned by a sorcerer whose focus is on her craft.
She likes to infuse her goodies with spells, from rainbow cookies that make your tongue
temporarily a new color to a slice of chili cake that makes your fire spells scarily more
potent for a while.
17. Munsters R Us: A tiny Pug stands at a crate, hollering in broken common to come over.
He'll buy your scavenged monster parts (albeit at varying prices) from you. If you give
him enough, he'll turn them into an item. It's disturbing, but how can you resist his cute
lil' face?
18. Furever Homes: Offers small and under-sized creatures as animal companions and pets.
They have the basics, like rats, spiders, etc., but if you have enough money, you could
adopt more exotic creatures.

and various supplies that help explorers get through tough climate situations.

like Worgen Freeman or Clint Westwood.
26. Seamus the Imp Peddler: A travelling peddler, riding a covered cart led by a mule, stops
by the party. He explains that he specializes in the sale of imps, but so far the only ones
he has been able to obtain (trade secrets and all) have limited lifespans. It's a mixed bag
in his opinion so all the imps cost the same. Imps cost [1d20/1.33] GP each, half this if
it's raining. On purchase the imp is bound to the character until the imp's unique
demise. Each imp has a craving and a fear; if the character is helpful in these regards the
imp's loyalty will improve. Each imp also holds a secret agenda of mischief.
27. Herb the Hatters: Herb makes exquisitely beautiful hats which are quite uncomfortable.
28. The Transport Tube: Any common item will fall down from a tube from above, assuming
something of value has been put in the slot in the cubicle. Approx 5ft square circle
room. Out the back, some creatures would be feeding the items in.
29. Murray's Theatrics: The half-elf Murray retired from the life of a wandering bard eight
years ago, but still loves the trade dearly. His shop (which is really just the anteroom to
his house) stocks sheet music and scripts for the lutist looking to expand her repertoire,
or the troupe seeking to get ahead of the new fashion in comedies. The texts cost next
to nothing - Murray remembers what it's like to travel on a performer's income. The real
money comes from his younger brother, Astor, whose potions create audience-dazzling
special effects.
30. The Furrowed Brow: Esmeralda Turnbottom's mother made wards, and her mother
made wards, and her mother made wards... And Esme has never been one to spoil a
good tradition. The wares range from mundane (a pendant against forgetfulness, carved
from gingko bark) to the specialized (ground cat's tooth to drive off harpies). Once a
year, she closes up shop for a much deserved vacation, and returns with an armful of
oddly specific wards. Such as "protection from a stampede of your own cattle frightened
by a thunderclap on a moonless summer night". And yet they always get bought, and
they always end up useful...
31. The Sizzler: An exotic restaurant run by a very jovial, and very fat, half-ogre named Thog.
They specialize in rare meats of all kinds and will pay well if what you have is fresh. From
drake wings to spider legs, if it's fresh and serviceable they'll buy it. Their meals are
renowned for being tasty and surprisingly filling, and the exotic nature of their
ingredients has been known to impart certain temporary boons to the consumer. The
house special is constantly changing, so get in quick before the line forms!
32. Nero's Place: A shop run by an aging, paranoid neurotic elf that is convinced there's a
demon after him. Nero sells a wide assortment of scrying crystals, mirrors, looking
glasses, and patented listening tools that he uses on a daily basis. Some of his inventions
are actually helpful, like his 'Peek-around' that angles two mirrors inside a square tube
to look around corners. Others are less helpful, like his 'Hearing Helm' that is basically
two gramophone bells welded onto a bucket. He also sells protective charms and wards
to help keep... well anything off your back, really. For the paranoid inside us all, Nero's
Place is the Place for you!
33. Goldie's Locks: a wig shop selling enchanted wigs that are just right.
34. The "ooks" Store: A dingy store front window displays "ooks" peeling gold lettering.
Inside the dimly lit shop are shelves upon shelves of musty old volumes fill up the space
until only narrow paths await the adventurous customer. After searching the store you
might find what you want...or need in the future.
35. The Amazing Omar's Shop of Curiosities: Omar, a flamboyantly dressed merchant waves,
you over to his display wagon to view his wears. Various charms, potions, knick-knacks,
and unguents are on display for all to see. If you are a polite and interested customer he
may be persuaded to showcase his more interesting items...
36. Adon's Exceptional Reflection Collection: A good sized shop that sells mirrors of various
shapes and sizes, run by a reclusive and eccentric old gnome named Adon. Mirrors hang
from almost every surface, with some even dangling from the ceiling or the bottom of
other mirrors. It is incredibly easy to get lost wandering the store, and the inside seems
significantly bigger than its outside appearance belies. An observant customer will
notice that some mirrors occasionally reflect fantastic locations with startling realism.
37. Ketterman Barley's Stone carving and Statuary: Ketterman is a stone carver of some
renown, and does all kinds of stonework from bas-reliefs and fountains to statues and
headstones. He's expanded his business recently by offering smaller, personal busts of
the client for a reasonable sum, depending on the quality of the stone. Ketterman
typically sells to the upper class, but as long as you can pay he's more than willing to
work with just about any customer. But here's the catch: Ketterman is actually an
accomplished diviner as well. Every time he carves an eye into his stonework he can use
those eyes to scry through at any time. Ketterman uses his vast network of eyes to spy
on anyone within their gaze, and if he comes across something particularly noteworthy
he sells that knowledge to the highest bidder, or uses it as leverage for blackmail under
his assumed alias of 'The Emerald Pool' (because his eyes are green). Ketterman has
been operating for almost two decades now, and his work has traveled far across the
land. Odds are his stone eyes have seen something you didn't want to be seen. So tell
me friend; what are you hiding?
38. Blood Of Thy Enemies/Blood Of My Blood: Half the shop weapons & instruments of
death run by tiny, aggressive woman. The other half a healing shop run by a large
barbarian type man who's gentle. They are a couple...opposites attract?

45. Dark Arts & Melted Hearts: Your typical "Dark Arts" type store, but complete with a
tavern type meeting area that regularly provides a speed dating-esque environment for
undesirables, villians, & general ne'er-do-wells. Everyone deserves a shot a love right?
46. The Dock of Many Flings: A store either on the water or with a large well inside. There
are no items, only shelves and shelves of pebbles worth different tiers of gold. You buy a
pebble, then stand over the designated area and cast your pebble into the water. You
gain a random magical effect, item, or etc. (eg. A Mini or alternate deck of many things)
47. Whispers & Secrets: The only goods bought and sold here are rumors, secrets, other
generally unknown information. You cannot pay with traditional currency, must offer
hidden information of your own to barter with. Use either an unbiased magical system
(such as speaking your secret into a glass jar, putting the lid on placing upon a magical
scale that determines it's weight/value), or for more interesting roleplaying
opportunities have a totally biased shopkeep the players can haggle with or try and
persuade.
48. Proctor & Son's Deadly Traps: More a small dungeon than a store, the ceiling to floor to
finally the basement is covered in traps. You must survive long enough to actually
disarm and then purchase your chosen traps. It used to be a family business but that
didn't last for very long.
49. Impeccable Times: In a building stylized as a home befitting a cuckoo clock, the sound of
ticking from countless mechanisms dominate the senses. The blind elderly craftsman

he can hear from every watch and see from every clock he creates. The owl is also a
mechanical contraption.
50. Ayesha's Insult Emporium: The store's name, in simple black lettering, is all that infers
what lies inside. A friendly middle aged woman (presumably Ayesha) wearing a sari
greets customers entering this store's antechamber with a sharp personal insult. Anyone
who takes great offense to the insult is teleported out of the shop and can't re-enter.
However, those who accept it in good spirit will be led by Ayesha to the main room

containing some of the most brilliant, sought-after and mind-bending insults to ever

named Alethera, an unusually cheerful woman who is as eager to buy new tears as she
is to sell them. Alethera is especially interested in the tears of adventures and famous
people.
55. Adventure's Emporium: On the outside it looks abandoned and if you ask around town
you will be told it is cursed or haunted, but when adventures enter the building they
enter a spacious, well lit store full of ten foot poles, iron spikes, torches, and other
adventuring gear. It is run by a retired adventurer.

fanciful.

"These are my prime shoes" they say. They will sell you almost any item, and have it
back to you within two days. However, there is a significant charge to getting the item,
and some items might not come within two days. Unfortunately, before you can buy,
the man tries to up sell you with a long list of items, and won't begin getting your item

around with music, a chef service to cook you food, an enchanted rock that you can talk
to, but also tells him your preferences in case you come back, a painting delivery service

wheel. Roll a D10 - anything other than a D10 loses! You just have to sign here and pay

toward the lottery. If they re-enter, they must pay another coin, but the building is
empty.
101. The Floating Candle The Floating Candle was constructed as part of King
Sasserine’s grand rebuilding project almost 90 years ago. The two-story building is built in
the grandiose style of the time - King Sasserine’s attempt at mimicking the architectural style
of She. White washed walls, flower boxed attic windows and a shingle roof, the building has
been beautifully preserved and is constantly maintained. 
The Floating Candle has been a number of other things before it became an Inn.
When it was first built it was a private residence, then a boarding house, a brothel, a private
residence once again all before becoming the Inn. The Inn has changed names and owners
many times over the years also before being purchased by the current owner Malcloth
Mippelspoon, and becoming the Floating Candle.
  A large portrait of a matronly lady holding two children on her lap adorns the wall
behind the front desk giving the Inn an old world feel.
  The Floating Candle is a magical place to be nurtured and cared for. Unseen servants
tuck you in at night, stir the fires during in the middle of cold nights, shut the window shutters
and guide you step with floating magical candles as you walk down darkened corridors. A soft
female voice sings lullabies to guide you off to sleep.
  There is a definite aura of peace and safety in the Floating Candle and people feel
content to relax and sleep soundly the night through. People who struggle to properly sleep are
directed to the Inn and parents with wakeful babies often visit the Floating Candle.
The inn is open every day of the year except on the anniversary of the Night of Flame where
Malcloth honours the memory of those who died on that horrible night by closing his doors.
102. The Lit Lantern
 This 3-story Inn has a small bottom level, a bigger second  level and a still larger,
third level. Every window in this strange looking building has a lantern affixed that eternally burns.
Hanging above the front entree is a huge magical lantern that never goes out. Every night the Inn
shines like a beacon across the city, attracting people, birds and thousands of moths. Galf, the
Innkeeper, is widely known as an eccentric man but to possess a warm and friendly nature.
  The Lit Lantern is always warm and is particularly popular in the summer months when tall
mugs full of cool refreshing beverages are served. The bottom level is designed for people to lounge
in comfort couches before the fire while sipping at hot mugs of tea, coffee or chocolate during
winter or cold mugs of beer or wine during summer. Travellers enjoy the chance to relax and talk to
friends and fellow customers. The Innkeepers wife, Falxineen, accepts guests in the daylight hours
but never after dark.
  All rooms are well lit with candelabras and heated with small fireplaces. Canopy beds are
comfortable and well cushioned. Affixed to every windowpane, in every room, is a continually
burning, ancient lantern. These lanterns are usually only used by people during the festival of the
Druids Eye, with crystal housing and a bronze sun symbol facing out into the night. Shutters can be
closed to dim the light but each room is never truly dark because of the lanterns.
