someone's wagon

    [Chizelli's Charms]

        The traveling caravan is gaily painted with vines and flowers, while luxuriously woven carpets cushion the polished wood floor. Finely crafted built-in cabinets line the walls, their sliding wood doors thrown open to display racks of velvet-lined trays filled with charms of every description. A cat perches atop one of the cabinets, its slitted green eyes gazing intently at a set of delicate crystal chimes suspended from the roof. You also see a jewelry box, a sparkling crystal coffer, the wagon's door, a small sign, an archway and a large placard.

    A small sign reads:
    I sell small charms designed to be affixed to the charm bracelets -- the charms cannot be worn by themselves. Some charms are magic, some merely charming -- I hope you find some you enjoy!

    The sign says:
    I'm closed right now -- gone to visit my grandchildren. Maybe I'll be back later, but I'm an old woman, so maybe I won't.

    B -- black silken tent. [Quartzi's Magic Goods]

        Tall, skeletally thin and benign, Quartzi stands in the middle of his black curtained shop, smiling at visitors. The fact that his webbed fingers sport inch-long talons and that his long, black ringlets are threaded with tiny ornamental daggers seems to counter his efforts at public relations, though. Quartzi's staff eyes him skeptically, whenever they have time between shuffling inventory, counting out sales on an iron abacus, and lighting white tapers that gutter out all too soon. You also see a black tent flap, a laminated rejects shelf with some stuff on it, an iron sundries chest, an oaken peg with a black onyx anklet on it and a jewelry display case

         On the rejects shelf you see a lead ring shaped like a spider and a silver pendant of a blank-faced moon mage.

         In the sundries chest you see a ruby-colored ocular set in a fine silver frame, a small blue cone with a pair of delicate white wings, a finely wrought crystal wand with a damascened gold star at its apex and an amber wand that lightly crackles with concealed energy.

         In the display case you see a shadowy pendant, a blue alexandrite amulet whose image appears to have been effaced, a ring displaying a leaden shield, a bronze diadem bearing a single winged ruby eye and a star sapphire pendant on three entwined silver chains.

         On the oaken peg you see a black onyx anklet shaped like a pair of curving and crossed scimitars.

     

    C -- worn tent [Memory Lane]

        Odds and ends and a variety of novelty items are strewn about the many containers and shelves in this hodge-podge of a sales tent. Faded portraits of renowned Bards and rulers long past, and cheap imitations of famous paintings hang from horizontally suspended poles that are affixed to the top of the tent. Given prominence are some select bins and countertops with memorabilia items, displayed for ease of location and rummage. You also see a worn wooden table with a Sirolarn doll on it, a rough-edged wooden countertop with some stuff on it, a huge storage bin with a torn piece of parchment on it, a large wooden sign and a tent flap.

         On the wooden countertop you see a fine porcelain plate painted with a small white gladiolus over a field of blue, a silver spoon etched with the crest of the Prince of Zoluren, a tall shot glass etched with the crest of the Prince of Zoluren and a festive blue silk ribbon stitched with a small gladiolus. (the ribbon is NOT wearable)

     

    D -- smoke scented grey tent [The Kindled Spirit]

    The interior of this austere tent consists solely of the furnishings necessary to display the merchant's wares. The rich scent of tobacco permeates the area, giving hint to what lies within. You also see a smeared sign, a white velvet pedestal with a ruby pipe on it, an open flap, a wood bin, a display case with some stuff on it and a covered table with some stuff on it.

    A smeared sign reads:
    The proprietor, Dimlin Dimgrog, is known to do some special pipe carvings on a whim. She prefers to work on previously uncarved pipes (drab white). You can request that other woods be used from her extensive collection. She can add gems -- however, because of time constraints, no gems will be carved into bowls. Please remember that pipes have a small space on which to work. Magic can not be added to the pipes. Good manners are highly recommended in this and any other store. Thank you!

    On the velvet pedestal you see a ruby encrusted pipe with a carved ruby bowl.
    look pipe:
    This bedazzling pipe has a neck made up of tight-set rubies that lead down to a bowl that has been made out of a single oversized ruby, painstakingly carved. Even under close inspection, it is difficult to tell what sort of method was used to accomplish the cuts on this piece. Flawlessly joined, the pipe is destined to flaunt the luxurious tastes of the owner.

    A side note reads:
    These logs have been carefully harvested to preserve their natural aroma as they are burned. Just add to your home fireplace and light to enjoy! Note: The last log you put in will be the flames' aroma. To make the aroma last longer, fill your fireplace with other fuel and put the log on last.
        In the wood bin you see a silverwillow log, a whitethorn log, a cherrywood log, a red-maple log, a deobar log, a golden oak log, a hickory log, a rotting beech log, a walnut log, a lemon-tree log, a zulnatha log, a cedar log, a copperwood log, an elm log, a pine log and a note on how to use logs in your home.

    E-- cake tent [Fromage's Delights, Pastries]

    On a large, scrubbed oak table rests a variety of mouth-watering pastries and candies. The air mixes the rich scents of cinnamon, nutmeg, and saffron, the tang of citron and lemon peel, a breath of almond paste and just a whiff of something peppery. Underlying it all is the yeasty scent of fresh-baked tarts and cakes. You also see a cloth-draped counter with a large cake on it and a tent flap.

         On the oak table you see a little candy skull with a gilded crown on its brow, a ripe pear topped with spices and aromatic pepper and dipped in currant jelly, a creamy-white marzipan gladiolus smelling of fresh almond paste, a gingerbread cookie shaped like a prince with raisin buttons and a crown of icing and a Maid of Honor cupcake filled with lemon-flavored egg custard. (the food changes)

     

    E -- [Swelin's Gourmet Cafe, Dining Room]

        Small but elegantly decorated, the walls of this room have been painted to make the customers feel as though they are on an outdoor veranda. Cloth-covered tables are scattered throughout the area close enough to make a good use of space, but far enough so that each table has its privacy. Wondrous smells drift through a carved archway at the back of the area, which is covered by a thick velvet curtain. By the arch hangs a narrow sign detailing what services the chef will perform. You also see an open door.

     

    F -- large golden tent with a crimson pennant flying atop. [Andriane's, Front Parlor]

        The crisp smell of flowers mingled with smoky undertones of incense hangs gently in the air. Soft light ebbs from a collection of miniature gaethzen spheres that float and hover lazily near the high ceiling of the tent. Padded benches covered in vibrant silk in hues of chartreuse, fuchsia, and goldenrod, provide a comfortable place to lounge. A diaphanous curtain of dusty violet drapes in one doorway and fluttering streamers of golden silk hang in another. You also see a tent flap.

        go curtain
    [Andriane's, Work Room]
        This room is filled with neat stacks of crates full of material, ribbons, buttons, scraps of leather, sequins, and tools for the creation of elaborate masks, scarves and cloaks. Freestanding wooden shelves run the perimeter of the room and display carved wooden heads bearing masks in early stages of production.
        On the wooden shelves you see some piles of silk and satin material, an unfinished World Dragon mask, an unfinished moon mask, an unfinished sun mask, an unfinished ice fae mask and an unfinished Lord Sorrow mask.

        go streamer
    [Andriane's, Scarves for All Occasions]
        The canvas walls are dyed deep green and painted with swirls of rich blue. A central pole wrapped in ribbons of vivid gold supports the ceiling. In the corner, a small teak table bears a brass incense burner that sends a thin stream of smoke swirling out into the room. Glinting strands of golden beads hang in a wide opening. You also see a large sign, an elegant teak scarf rack with some stuff on it and a low teak table with some stuff on it.
    A large sign reads:
    In addition to the elegant scarves here, one will find Andriane's collection of finely tailored cloaks through the beads. We regret that we are selling no masks at present.

        On the scarf rack you see a shimmering scarf of pale golden silk, a pale lavender scarf of sheer gossamer, a crystal-beaded scarf of charcoal silk, a sequin edged scarf of fluid sapphire silk, a dashing hunter green silk scarf and a diaphanous scarf of saffron silk batiked with carmine astrological symbols.

        go beads
    [Andriane's, Cloaks for the 'Tog]
        The walls are dyed deep mottled green and the ceiling a soft grey. Many multicolored silk cushions are piled in a corner near a stand that holds a glowing gaethzen sphere. You also see a tall iron cloak rack with some stuff on it and a sign.
    Obvious exits: east, out.

        On the cloak rack you see a scarlet cavalier's cloak, a grey hooded lambswool cloak, a steelsilk swordsman's cloak, a finespun silk cloak, a mist grey gossamer cloak and a hooded leather cloak lined with thick fleece.

    G-- mottle tent [Packrat's Paradise, Sales Floor]

        Containers literally surround you in this tent, as used and battered ones have been sewn together to make a crude patched shelter in which to sell goods. Several lanterns of different makes hang on drawstrings from various bags on the ceiling. The warm light from the lanterns reveals shabby decor around the room, and mostly secondhand fixtures. The items for sale resting on the furniture, however, are far from second rate. You also see a crooked alteration rules board, a tarnished brass-edged box with some stuff on it, a rotting table with some stuff on it, a stout barrel, a torn canvas curtain, a crooked notice, a patched leather flap and a rickety rack with some stuff on it.

        On the brass-edged box you see a bent sign, a small oak treasure chest with reinforcing iron strips, a small nest-shaped doll pouch, a soldier's supply bag and a colorful candy bag painted with various stylized animals.

        Seems I missed the barrel! oops

     

    H -- [Kaihidzuks's Caravan, Displays]

        Neatly organized racks and tables display a variety of ironmongery. Overhead, a clever series of vents in the ceiling funnel the ever present smoke from the forge out of the caravan. The thick oak planks of the floor are coated with a light dusting of soot. Dominating one wall are large bins holding bar stock, sheet metal and raw ores. You also see an iron framework with some stuff on it, a sturdy oak bench with a silver-plated bulhawf on it, a polished steel stand with a finely balanced kastneth on it, a woven reed basket, a sturdy oak table with some stuff on it, an iron weapons rack with a long-hafted war hammer on it and some worn wooden steps leading outside.

        On the weapons rack you see a long-hafted war hammer adorned with falcon feathers dangling from spidersilk threads.

         On the oak table you see a short-hafted hunthsleg adorned with green and brown spidersilk streamers, a two-handed war hammer adorned with raven feathers dangling from spidersilk threads, a steel war hammer wrapped in twine, a black ironwood-hafted mace wrapped in fine blue leather and a white ironwood-hafted mace wrapped in fine grey leather.

        On the iron framework you see some blued steel mail with a padded leather gambeson, some golden chain mail bearing interwoven blackened links forming a raven in flight and some silvered chain mail reinforced with an interwoven layer of blued steel links.

         On the oak bench you see a silver-plated bulhawf bearing the etched form of a raven in flight.

         In the reed basket you see a polished steel band inlaid with darkened steel ravens in flight.

         A large printed sign reads:
    Let it be known, for a fee of one platinum kronar, a limited number of people may join Kaihidzuks's list. Selection of who shall be served will be RANDOM, and the craftsman will pick a number of people at the same time. Having been picked does NOT guarantee service. It guarantees only that, provided time, the one picked will be able to confer with the craftsman. Kaihidzuks is a smith of some note and works solely on enhancing the APPEARANCES of metal weapons and armors.

     

    I-- [Tisk's Wagon, Front Room]

        The low ceiling of this room might cause trouble for tall folk, but for shorter Elanthians the effect is merely cozy. Scraps of leather, bits of metal and dust bunnies the size of largish weasels compete for space on the floor, the last sent into a swirling romp whenever anyone moves about. Busy figures can be seen moving energetically behind a gauzy blue curtain which divides the wagon into two halves. You also see an armor rack with some stuff on it, an accessories table with some stuff on it and a very small door leading out.

         A placard reads:
    Accessories to accompany our lightweight armors. These certainly won't weigh you down! (The mask does not cover the eyes, to save even more weight.)

    A sign reads:
    These armors are our inexpensive, lightweight modifications of several popular leather armor designs. These are our lightest body armors, so if weight is your top priority, you've found the stuff! The heavier and more expensive stuff is in back. All of our armor fits only Gnomes, so don't think you can wear them if you're a Halfling or something.

        On the rack you see a slightly padded Gnome's robe, a diminutive leather corselet, a diminutive buff coat, a diminutive padded leather breastplate, a diminutive plaited-reed vest, a tiny layered canvas cuirass and a sign.

         On the table you see a very small leather mask, some tiny leather greaves, some tiny leather vambraces, some diminutive supple leather gloves and a placard.

    [Tisk's Wagon, Back Room]
        The back room of the wagon is even more crowded and chaotic than the front. This is somewhat surprising, since there is less furniture here and fewer items for sale. Taking up the space which merchandise does not, several Gnomish shop attendants rush about in a continual frenzy, checking on customers, going out to check stock, removing fingerprints left behind by curious customers and bumping into just about everything that crosses their path. A gauzy blue curtain leads back to the front room. You also see a broad rack with some stuff on it and a Gnome-sized mannequin with some stuff on it.

         On the broad rack you see a small chain hauberk of light and intricately interconnected links, a very small suit of ringmail made of black leather and shining steel loops, a light chain shirt of Gnomish proportions, a set of heavy chainmail proportioned for a Gnome, a Gnomish tunic fashioned from lightweight steel chain, a shining steel breastplate scaled for the Gnomish frame and a diminutive heavy half plate engraved with the image of a Gnome standing proudly atop a heap of fallen foes.

         On the Gnome-sized mannequin you see a Gnome-sized set of full plate armor fashioned from blackened steel decorated with small silver lightning bolts and a note.

    A note reads:
    Our first attempt at full plate armor! It might not be as protective as other designs, but we've dropped the weight considerably in sizing it for the Gnomish frame.

     

    J-- see a voluminous royal blue tent flying golden pennons. [Edword's Accoutrements, Entryway]

        It undoubtedly requires an inordinate amount of time to erect this grand tent, but it would seem the proprietor desires his elite patrons enjoy every conceivable comfort. The walls are lined ceiling to floor with generous jewel-toned draperies gathered in deep folds and trimmed with extravagant golden fringe. Carved mahogany archways mark entrances to various display rooms. A dashing painted wooden swordsman gestures to a small sign displayed atop a baroque gilded table. You also see an expansive area rug woven with a map of the known world, an oversized leather wing chair and a carved mahogany archway leading outside.

    [Edword's Accoutrements, Gallant Garments]
        An expanse of faux marble flooring and muslin-covered columns painted to resemble fluted granite suggest a palatial reception hall. High above, a three-tiered wrought-silver chandelier sways slightly, its myriad of flickering candles filling the chamber with a warm light. A full-length cheval glass offers patrons the opportunity to inspect their appearance, while those weary of waiting can rest upon a pair of grand high-backed mahogany chairs that sit before a large hanging tapestry. You also see a gilded wall display with some stuff on it, a walnut cloak rack with some stuff on it, a long mahogany banquet table with some stuff on it, a gilt-edged mahogany breakfront with some stuff on it, a baroque display pole with some stuff on it and an antique chestnut valet with some stuff on it.

    An informative sign reads:
    These fine greatcloaks are specially designed for dashing manipulation by the gentleman warrior. The wearer might consider trying the following maneuvers with his greatcloak: push, wave, roll, turn, kick, nudge, pull, punch, yank, hug, rub, poke and throw.

        On the mahogany breakfront you see a handsome linen shirt with a gypsy knotwork embellished yoke, a silvery grey swordsman's shirt with full sleeves and laced cuffs, a deep crimson swordsman's shirt laced at the neck with a woven silver cord, a cerulean blue swordsman's shirt with golden foliate embroidery on the cuffs, a soft white leine with scintillating prismatic dragons curling down its billowing sleeves, a comfortable rough-spun leine with billowing sleeves, a finely-woven crisp white shirt with pleated ruffs on the collar and cuffs, a storm grey leine embroidered with proud silver-horned golden rams, a gallant white dueling shirt with a picot lace ruffled neckline and a dashing black dueling shirt with a shadow-lace ruffled neckline.

    [Edword's Accoutrements, Artful Accessories]
        Silk-leaved trees, boxes of flowering plants and a sculpted carpet woven to resemble a stone path meandering through the room provide the illusion of a courtyard garden. Quiet gentility marks the manner of the patrons who stroll about carefully inspecting the latest fashionable offerings. A smartly outfitted attendant responds to special inquiries of gentlemen and their ladies, disappearing now and then through a row of stone-painted wooden arches closed off by gathered draperies. You also see a masonwork bench with some stuff on it, a low garden wall with some stuff on it, a garden gate, a sprawling white trellis with some stuff on it and a granite statue with some stuff on it.

        On the masonwork bench you see a belted viper-skin baldric fastened with a chiseled iron dragon buckle, a belted leather baldric adorned with an antiqued silver ram's head buckle, a belted leather baldric, a rich sable belted leather baldric embellished with ornate bronze studs and fittings, a mahogany brown belted leather baldric accented with a fire-gilded lion's head buckle, an azure belted leather baldric fitted with a burnished silver crescent moon buckle and a brightwork greatsword scabbard with a fire-gilded king snake wrapped down its length.
    app bald
    The viper-skin baldric is a container, and can be opened and closed. The viper-skin baldric is incredibly pliant. It appears that the viper-skin baldric can be slung over one shoulder. You are certain that the viper-skin baldric is worth exactly 15285 kronars.

    [Edword's Accoutrements, Weapons of Elegance]
        Brightly colored canvas facades give the impression of a teeming marketplace in some distant, exotic city. Painted backdrops covering the walls depict a ring of opulent palaces just beyond the market square. In the distance, a sinuous ivory-hued tower rises from the center of the city, reaching for the clouds. You also see a bowl, a lump of coal, a polished mahogany stand with a double-headed battle axe on it, a gnarled ironwood stand with a spike-bladed broadsword on it, a pole-arms rack flying colorful heraldic pennons, a velvet-draped sword merchant's table and an open wagon trimmed with gilded scrollwork.

    ~~Nidia's Floral Arrangements~~

    Greetings! For those that desire to try their hand at basic flower arrangement, on the cabinet there are multiple patterns to create circlets, bracelets, and more! While we regret that preserved and herbal flowers are too difficult to manipulate to fit into these patterns, we're sure that you'll find our available selection more than sufficient to create your perfect floral masterpiece. The vial included with the pattern contains enough preservative to guard your entire piece from time and the elements, as well as conserve its fragrance for eternity! Note, though, that only the foremost flower you place on the pattern will be visible from afar when the pattern is complete.

    For those desiring personalized work by me:

    • At various times during the day I will be out and about looking for samples of rare and precious flowers for my garden. For the people who can bring me back a _fresh_ flower not on this list, I will be offering my skills at seamstry, topiary, and floral arrangement for a reasonable fee. I reserve the right to make any artistic changes that I perceive necessary and to move on to other customers if one takes too long.
    • The following are a list of the flowers I have in the eastern garden at this time:

      Irises, carnations, blue azaleas, oxeye daisies, red, white, pink, and Katamba-black roses, honeysuckles, red and purple almagaruses, geshiloira blossoms, jungle lilies, tiger-lilies, sunflowers.

      Note: Due to the sacred nature of the roses of Bosque Deriel, I will not be collecting them for private growing.

    • The following are a list of the flowers presented to me by various patrons, planted in the western garden:

      Snow-white lilies, white orchids, azure dahlias, crimson sharktooth blossoms, and lilac butterfly blossoms.

Hanging from above is an elegant lantern formed from twisting blackened steel forged in the shape of twining ivy branches. You also see a flowing curtain and a tent flap.

    [Women at Arms, Weapons Display]
        Sales clerks bustle about, replenishing stock on the various display racks around the room.

    U--- go tent [Nefari's Emporium, Showroom]

        Cinders crunch underfoot in this dark tent. The faint odor of burnt reagents lingers in the air. In the center of the tent stands a portable stone furnace that glows brightly, shedding a soft, comfortable heat. Near the entrance rests a table lined with assorted jars, bowls and pots. On the far side of the tent stands a wooden hookrack with cauldrons and metal pots hanging from it. A small curtain leads deeper into the tent. You also see a small bucket, a small sign and a tent flap.

    V sagging rotten leather tent. [Sputkin's Splendors, Musty Old Tent]

        The battered leather walls of this small, cramped tent droop and sag in a sad manner. Large, gashed oaken support staves run upward from the ground to keep the slimy, rotting walls from collapsing inward. A stained parchment placard has been nailed to the largest pole in the center of the tent, while a rotting leather curtain leads back into a cramped work alcove. You also see a painted notice, a musty exit flap and a long ironwood workbench with some stuff on it.

    A large stained parchment placard reads:
    My hearty thanks to the people who have patronized me on my on-foot magic-item whittlin' sessions lately. I've managed to buy this er... fine, lovely tent! Buy more so's I can gets a proper wagon an' next time maybe I can have room for more stuffs! Yay! Thank you for your patronage --- Acolyte (and general Gnomish tinkerer) Sputkin Voofin

    A painted notice reads:
    If you sign da list you will be able to have a pre-made lock of your choice added to a container that that you already own. I won't change da container except for adding da lock.

         On the ironwood workbench you see a woven silver-strand belt accented with a faceted black onyx panther buckle, a small platinum jewelry chest inset with a sparkling array of gemstone swirls, an articulated blued-steel weapon harness with interlocking plates engraved with the form of a regal lion, a delicate silver locket dusted with sparkling black opal chips, a black satin gem pouch with a blued-steel raven clasp, a supple black leucro hide pack clasped with a gleaming silver fang, a rich dusky-brown bear hide quiver decorated with large black claws about the flap and a sleek azure poloh'izh hide cape clasped with a coiled abalone king snake.
    The sales clerk smiles and says, "The price on a black satin gem pouch with a blued-steel raven clasp is 22500 Kronars. You can BUY the item if you like."

     

    V--- grubby hide tent. [Palactra House of Fine Forgery]

        Charlie Palactra, the unwashed Dwarven proprietor of this ambitiously entitled emporium, has clearly sacrificed social skills in pursuit of his singular talent for weaponsmithing. Judging by the half-legible scrawl disfiguring a scrap of parchment pinned to the tent flap, literacy has long since proved of little concern. Likewise, the aesthetically displeasing hide walls of his stinking pavilion bear testimony to a blithe disregard for the comfort of the customer, and the nicer things in life. You also see the tent flap.

    [Assuming you mean a soot-smudged parchment sign]
    After a long moment of careful translation of the sign, you feel certain you have correctly discerned that Charlie Palactra will, over the course of the Ice Festival, make available for purchase and personalization by Barbarians a tool known as the Maker's Mark.

    Ideal for weaponsmiths, this will be a Mark unique to each owner and applicable to a weapon during the course of the forging process, for the purpose of identifying the smith and displaying the hallmark of his or her skill.

    The Maker's Mark will be limited in number, and will be sold via merchant's list.

    At least, you think that's what it all means.

     

    W-- a billowing sorrel pavilion with ochre satin pennants. [Modesty's Lair of Marvels, Pavilion Foyer]

        Lacy spidersilk drapes cover the grand foyer, shimmering with light from the exquisite pair of animite candelabra positioned at opposite corners of the room. Footfalls are cushioned by the luxurious carpet with a finely-woven depiction of the slumbering world dragon which graces the length of the foyer. Poised near the pavilion entrances is a strong, handsome Kaldar who stands alert and seemingly ready to spring at the slightest provocation. You also see the cloud pavilion, the fiery pavilion, the arbor pavilion, the ocean pavilion, the night pavilion, a sorrel curtain with ochre tassels, an elegantly scripted sign and a pavilion flap.

        go pav
    [Modesty's Lair of Marvels, Cloud Pavilion]     Fine gossamer drapes of varying lengths casually flutter at the slightest breeze, drifting against piles of large, soft, white pillows which have been strategically placed in various corners of the room. The gentle movement of the gossamer draws your eye to the skeins of azure silk which stretch to cover the entire roof of the pavilion. You also see a modest bust of the proprietor, a highly polished lunat display case and an elegantly scripted sign.

         On the modest bust you see a bold animite dragon pendant inset with fierce eyes of cloud-white spinel, a brilliant cloud-white faceted spinel suspended from an exquisite animite necklace, a pair of brilliant cloud-white faceted spinel earrings with animite settings and a magnificent animite coronet inset with a large cloud-white cabochon spinel.

    a gaudily painted wagon. X-- [A Matter of Magik]

        Shadows and cobwebs vie for dominance of the corners of this tiny, overcrowded wagon. At the moment, the cobwebs are winning as the flickering illumination of candles perched on canted wooden shelves forces the shadows into retreat. Books and papers overflow the shelves to lie in disorderly stacks upon the floor, while a few items offered for sale are jumbled carelessly upon tables and countertop. You also see a marble-topped wrought iron stand with a translucent white fishbone on it, a rickety wooden table with some stuff on it, a wicker basket, a wobbly cast iron pedestal with a rose-colored vial on it, a battered counter with some stuff on it and the wagon door.

         On the wrought iron stand you see a translucent white fishbone.

         >On the cast iron pedestal you see a rose-colored vial.
    The sales clerk smiles and says, "The price on a rose-colored vial is 1750 Kronars. You can BUY the item if you like."

         On the battered counter you see a sickly, petrified chicken's leg with talons pointed in different directions, a necklace made up of a number of tiny rat skulls sewn onto a brilliant silver thread, a dangling silver skull earring set with brilliant ruby eyes, a long platinum hairpin set with a large sparkling emerald and some ghoulskin boots colored pale grey splotched with sickly green.

     

    X--[Marnie's Elegance In Wire, Front Room]

        Wire lanterns hung strategically about on strings highlight silver threads woven through the fabric of the tent, forming the shapes of various jewelry and animals. The warm glow from the lanterns reflects off the sparkling silver threads, brightening the area and highlighting the smooth table and wire-wrapped crystal jewelry tree in the center. The floor beneath is covered with a thick plush carpet, shot through with golden strands mimicking the shapes in the tent walls. You also see a shiny silver wire basket, a silvery tent flap, a smooth silken screen with a spiral wire trim and a softly shimmering curtain.

         On the smooth table you see a spherical wire candle holder, a beaded wire candle holder, a small wire spider candle holder, a regal bronze wire horse, a small golden wire cat, a detailed wire faenrae reaver, a tarnished silver wire arzumos and a small wire-framed note.

         In the wire basket you see a rainbow candle, a black candle, a purple candle, a blue candle, a green candle, a yellow candle, an orange candle, a red candle, a pink candle and a white candle.

        go screen
    [Marnie's Elegance In Wire, Power Stones]
    Not much more than a blocked off corner of a tent, this area is cramped and ill-lit. A single candle burns on a small round table, shedding its gentle glow on several tiny boxes, arranged in a perfect circle around its base. You also see a smooth silken screen with a spiral wire trim. Obvious exits: none.

         On the round table you see a small aqua box with the word "Serenity" stamped on it in gold leaf, a slender candle in a coiled wire holder, a folded card, a small white box with the word "Luck" stamped on it in gold leaf, a small deep blue box with the word "Love" stamped on it in gold leaf, a small amber box with the word "Health" stamped on it in gold leaf, a small green box with the word "Wealth" stamped on it in gold leaf, a small lilac box with the word "Friendship" stamped on it in gold leaf, a small violet box with the word "Happiness" stamped on it in gold leaf and a small black box with the word "Confidence" stamped on it in gold leaf.

     

    Y--- tent [Isfahni's Paradise]

        A cascade of song sparks through the air, thanks to a tiny crimson songbird in a wicker cage. Enameled pots filled with miniature orchids in a pastel rainbow of hues are suspended from gossamer silk hangers along the rear of the tent, and luxurious carpets of pure white shearling cover every inch of the floor. The walls are hung with finger cymbals and toe bells, jangling belts of beads and coins, and little hand-held drums -- all the accoutrements of the dancers that Isfahni cultivates as customers. You also see a white coral stand with some stuff on it, an ebony stand with some stuff on it, some rosewood shelves with some stuff on it, a crystal case with some stuff on it and the tent flap

         On the coral stand you see a glittering silver belt of moons and stars linked with tiny jade bells, a belt of heavy beaten gold medallions etched with a sunburst design and linked with tiny brass bells, a hip belt of delicate silver links dangling with tiny enameled blossoms in a rainbow of colors and a belled anklet.

         On the ebony stand you see a vest of jade green silk faintly patterned with silver wasps, an ivory silk vest embroidered with deep violet lotus blossoms and edged with scrimshaw beadwork, a black silk vest with embroidered roundels of blossoms encircled by crimson and gold phoenix, a cream brocade vest with satin insets of brilliant green and gold dragonflies, a pale blue watered silk vest edged with tiny hammered silver disks and an ivory-buttoned yellow silk vest with a rising sun emblem in flamestitched crimson and gold satin.

         On the rosewood shelves you see a filmy skirt of pale green gauze over jade silk edged with delicate ivory wasps, a filmy skirt of sheer lilac gauze over deep violet silk glittering with tiny mirrored roundels, a filmy skirt of seafoam gauze over aqua silk swirled with amethyst glass beads and freshwater pearls, a filmy skirt of sheer ivory gauze over light peach silk sparkling with latticed beadwork in gold, green, and peach, a filmy skirt of translucent flame gauze over pure yellow silk hemmed with a narrow band of gold-copper weave, a filmy skirt of black gauze over crimson silk set along the hem with tiny beaten gold disks and a filmy skirt of pure white gauze over pale pink silk knotted at the hip with long chain-braided fringe.

    Z---a bright orange tent shot through with golden threads. [Shay Naideen's, Main Showroom]

        Squawks of "Grek! Grek!" emanating from a large brass cage assail your ears upon entering the fashionable Shay Naideen's. From the thick-furred floor skins dyed bright orange to the glittering multi-faceted crystal ball hanging from the tent roof, every detail bespeaks unimaginable elegance. Two beaded curtains, one made of tiny seashells and the other of vividly tinted glass globes, entice shoppers to discover the mysteries beyond. You also see a marquetry table with an elegant sign on it and a tent flap.

        Multi-colored pastel bunting streams from the ceiling to the tops of the walls, then flows to puddle on the floor. The billowing drapery is tied with slender golden cords trimmed with tiny metal stars and fake coins. Some spotted short-haired floor skins are layered into a makeshift carpet and a full-length mirror is set on one side of the room. Clothing -- men's, women's and some indeterminate -- is displayed around the room. You also see a velvet mannequin with some stuff on it, an armoire with some stuff on it, a full-length mirror, a seashell curtain, a wooden mannequin with some stuff on it, a bentwood hatstand with some stuff on it and an open sock drawer.

         On the velvet mannequin you see a headband adorned with twists of green silk rose leaves, some elbow-length green satin gloves covered with rose-figured lace and a dusky rose satin gown overlaid with wisps of soft chiffon and gathered at the waist by a deep rose velvet ribbon that flares in the back and forms an enormous bow resting at rump-height.

    Z-- go wagon [From Top to Bottom, Shoe Sales]

        A long slender oval-shaped room spreads out, significantly taller at one end than the other. Holes are drilled in a slant between the small end and the tall end, crossed through with a thick rope, looking somewhat like the interior of a boot. Leather patches are sewn together as a floor covering fashioned to be the sole. A tall twisting staircase rises out of the floor through the top, leading into an upper floor. You also see a carved shoe rack with some stuff on it and a wagon door.

         On the shoe rack you see some thick arzumos pelt boots, some black leather chopines embossed with whorling silver stars, some thin-soled velvet slippers with spiraling straps, some slender riding boots appliqued with colorful silken flowers, some fitted shadowy black sandals with detailed straps, some woven moccasins wrapped in soft braided felt vines, some thick bearskin boots with engraved boar tusk heels and some polished black leather boots with silver buckles.

    [From Top to Bottom, Hat Sales]
    A domed ceiling encloses this room, covered in various hues of brown felt scraps. The slight oval shape and paper tacked to one side give the impression that this is someone's idea of the interior of a rather large hat. In the dead center of the room, a tall rack rises out of the floor, decorated with a rainbow of many colorful hats. You also see a twisting staircase. Obvious exits: none.

         On the hat rack you see a stiff white felt cloche with a black satin rosette sewn on the band, a straw boater hat with a black linen band, an off-white hooped bonnet, a black velvet riding helmet, a quilted cloth cap decorated with appliqued animals and a golden threaded hat styled to look like a wig.

        A long wide counter dominates the small, but functional, lobby of Gnoshy's hastily constructed retail outpost. A small, hand-lettered sign has been tacked to the back wall, next to a more elaborate menu. Through large chinks and gaps in the wall, smells of cinnamon, honey, and chocolate drift pleasingly.

        Empty bins, buckets, barrels, and crates lay in organized piles in the corners of the room, out of the way of the patrons and the occasional workers, who scurry to and fro amist the browsing clientele. Two long, low tables are situated near the back wall of this well-lit room. A strong, cidery smell tinged with sweet and sugary undertones pervades the air. You also see a small wide door that leads to the storeroom, a handwritten instruction-covered SIGN, a vat table with some stuff on it and a bowl table with some stuff on it.

    #2 -- a large snowy white tent with multi-colored pennants on the corners. [Festival Pavilion]

        The ceiling of the pavilion towers above, held up in the center by a very tall metallic pole. Although an enclosed tent, the immenseness of the pavilion makes one feel as if they are wandering around in an outside festival instead of in the enclosed confines of the tent itself.

    #3 go cabin [The Hairy Chest]

        The lighting is dim, the air is smoky, and the booze on the bar is plentiful. A stuffed inkhorne head mounted above a sideboard has singed fur on the underside of its chin, apparently damaged by fumes from the steaming food below. A couple of wooden benches are pulled up to a table, well out of the path of fire of a dartboard in the corner.

    #4 go wagon [Monyah's Miscellany, Front Room]

        An eclectic collection of items lies around the room on cases and racks in this entryway. Cutting down the center of the jumbled lot, a long runner directs traffic north to the back of the wagon, and a velvet curtain covers an alcove off to one side. An expensive-looking cut crystal lamp hangs in the middle of the ceiling, spreading a soft light over the area. You also see a parchment sign, a padded bench with some stuff on it and a smooth mahogany door.

    A parchment sign reads:
    "These items are all collectable antiques from past merchants that visited the realms. I am not a merchant, but a private collector, so don't try to complain to the Brotherhood if you think my prices are too high. All these items are in their original states and have been kept in excellent condition along with the rest of my collection. I have very limited quantities of some items, so if the clerks say they can't find any more, then that's it."

Pushed up against the back wall is a carved ebony table and just next to that is a large brass-edged cedar chest. The smooth hardwood floor continues from the rest of the wagon, but here it is bare. The only carpet in sight is in the form of small sqares placed under the chest and table to keep them from scuffing the fine woods. You also see an iron armor stand with some stuff on it and a narrow door.

    [Monyah's Miscellany, Private Alcove]

Surrounded by cases, a large leather chair sits at the back of the alcove, giving Monyah a comfortable spot from which to examine her treasures. Hanging above each case is a small lamp that sheds just enough light to highlight the items, but still leaves the remainder of the room covered in a gentle glow. A plush exotic rug covers the hardwood floor, providing the necessary accent to pull the room together. You also see a small yet important-looking plaque, a long weapons rack with some stuff on it, a tall armor stand with some stuff on it, an ebonwood wardrobe and a long curtain leading back to the main room.

    You say, "oh the torture chamber"

    A small plaque reads:
    "The five cases in here contain my most treasured items, these items are NOT for sale for any price. You may look in each case to see the items, but don't touch. The armor and weapons are on secure racks so that no one may take them, but they may be appraised. I may come around to answer questions you might have about my collection."

    Has Mirror Blade, all kinds of lovely things no longer for sale. TORTURE I tell you!

     

    #5 --- a red canvas tent. [Szarn's Imported Writing Equipment, Main Tent]

        The crisp smell of paper permeates this small tent.

    #5 go lean [Semtrach's Art To Order]

        This ragged lean-to is stained in odd places with vibrant colors. Dabs of paint and smears of charcoal decorate the walls in random streaks that almost form recognizable shapes.

You also see a small note, a deobar rack with some stuff on it, an easel with a faded sketch on it, a sign and a tent flap.

On top lie rows of small cookies shaped like seashells, with frosting accenting the whorls on the crispy shells. Underneath it all is a charcoal brazier with a few coals warming the trays on racks above it. You also see the fairgrounds and a simple sign. Obvious paths: none.

    A simple sign reads:
    "Tap the cookie to get your fortune. Hope you can read Elven!"

    The sales clerk smiles and says, "The price on a fortune cookie is 25 Kronars. You can BUY the item if you like."

    #9 a red and gold canvas tent. [The Royale Cart]

    Ornately carved rosewood columns support this vibrant red and gold canvas tent. A scattering of fine wool rugs lay on the rush-covered ground, cushioning the weary stride of those who linger here. The faint aroma of herbs and spices mingling with the perfumed scents of the revelers lingers in the air. At the center of the enclosure, a firepit, circled by a brick ring, keeps the outside chills at bay. Plushly-upholstered chairs offer a bit of respite for relaxing patrons. You also see a rosewood refreshment cart with some stuff on it, a polished rosewood buffet with some stuff on it and a tent flap.

         On the refreshment cart you see a glass of tater wine, a flagon of winter lager, some warm elderflower mead, some steaming hot chocolate, a ginger tea hot toddy, some sparkling spring water, some fresh goat's milk, a cup of Elothean elixir and some Halfling taffelberry wine.

         On the rosewood buffet you see a dark molasses tart, some gingerbread cake, some cinnamon sugar biscuits, an onion and nettle pie, a sage-seasoned roasted rabbit, a platter of sliced ham, a leg of turkey, some yaktail soup and some apple and parsnip soup.

     

     

    [Grubby's Mole Smashin' Emporium]
    Though frayed, taut ropes rise to the peak of the tent's tattered canvas, presumably holding its structure intact. A gust catches the tent outside, and, rather than felt, is seen as a curved wave rising up one side and washing down the other, sending the bristly ropes into an awkward dance and indicating that they are indeed fastened to nothing at all. You also see a simple wooden ring, a polished ebonwood pushcart with some stuff on it and a mole-smashing game. Obvious exits: north, west.

        look on pushcart
        On the ebonwood pushcart you see an ebony necklace made of interlaced batwings, a tattered storm-grey cloak fastened with a rusted skull-shaped clasp, a tarnished silver earring shaped like a grinning cat, a dented bronze pin engraved with the word "Pivo'hrr'shu", a set of pale hair beads carved to resemble twisted skeletons and a patina-covered bronze necklace adorned with a single mole skull.
