○ Trader's Barn



This large wooden building has many windows, which are all shuttered. Outside the door, as shield and lantarn are suspended from chains, the shield is painted to show a sword and a cheese wheel. You can see the lights on through the crack under the door. As you approach the door opens and out steps an older lady with a bundle of goods under her arm. A man holds the door open for her. He notices you and nods as he welcomes you inside. "Greetings Traveler, you in search of some goods?" he asks. "Well you've come to the right place. Look around and if you see anything let me know." he says. "Oh names Rannos, just hollar if you need anything."

Virtually all sorts of salable goods are offered here. Clothing and Packs, Footware, gloves, and belts, hand tools, even lighting gear like lantarns and tinderboxes. You see a row of Food and herbs, and another wall with different ropes and chains and other dungeonering gear hanging from hooks. Near the back is a row of weapons, all matter of Polearms and a rack of sheilds. A few bows hang on the wall and quivers of arrows. A few suits of armor stand in the corners of the large building. Over near the back entrance the goods turn to those of handling animals, Tack and Harness, and small carts. Another door leads from this area, likely the owners quarters.

Immediately, the dwarf was struck by the sheer selection of available goods in such a small village.  He browsed a bit until he came to the area for clothing.  Althiöf looked for appropriate clothing of quality, as well as a couple pair of boots that would fit him.

You find a good assortment of all sorts of clothing, breeches, pantaloons, shirts, even some different hats, and undergarments. Most of the colors are earth tones, browns, greens, tans, and some blacks.

○ Trader's Barn

The dwarf comes up to the proprietor with a bundle of clothes and places it upon a counter or table.  "My good man, Rannos, you have an impressive selection of goods available for such a small community.  It's hard to imagine that enough adventurers come by this village for such a large selection.  Tell me, are your best customers those two building the keep?"

"On another note, I am here for the funeral of a friend, of which you may have heard.  I need a set of dark clothes, and thought I should get another set as extra.  I have a friend I am meeting in Hommlet, who should be here in a day, two at the outside.  Might it be possible for you to hold these clothes to the side for two days, until my additional funds arrive?  Normally, I would not ask such a thing, but with you being the only trader I have seen in town, I'd hate to lose the opportunity to obtain good clothes that would fit my stature."

Rannos looks to the dwarf. "Ah yeah it was Rufus and Burne that made sure that the shop was as impressive as it looks, they are not the customers, they are the suppliers. Ever since we had the issue with the Temple years ago, adventurers from all over come to Hommlet to check the place out. As for the clothes, that is fine, I have a good assortment for all sizes, dwarf sizes shouldn't be a problem. Dark Clothes, I think we have some around here." he says as he goes and rummages through some of the piles. "Ah yes, here be go." he brings out a nice black shirt and pants that tie up the side. "They should fit ya." he says. "I can hold them, that's not an issue, I understand having to wait till gold comes in." he adds.

"I see..."

"I met some new folk in town at the Inn today.  They want to go after some goblins tomorrow, and asked me to go along, but I'm not normally an adventuring type.  If they brought back any weapons, armor, or other items like I see in your store, would you be interested in making any purchases?  I can pass the information along to them."

Rannos looks around as if saying that he has way to much as is. "It really depends on the items found, most goblin stuff like armor and such is gonna be worthless because of the state its been in. Anything metal has a price, the local smith can smelt down swords and other metal items. Gemstones, and art are of course something I'd be interesting in, weapons made from wood it would depend on the state of the item." he says.

"Okay, I'll pass it along.  Thanks, Rannos."

"Oh, by the way, I'm Althiöf.  Catch you in a day or two."

Upon leaving the Trader, the dwarf heads up the side road to the right that follows the river, and stops at the building at the end.  When he gets there, he knocks politely.

Squinting from the daylight and looking into the building, "Rannos, is that you?  I've come for those clothes you set aside for me yesterday."

"I might be interested in a few other things as well."

After the lady passed him, the dwarf stepped into the building.

"How much for the two sets of clothing?"

"Do you know if you have any small bells?  I'm not looking for little ones like chimes.  Maybe around a couple inches tall or so..."

"Also do you sell any wax, like candles?"

"I should probably stock up on some torches, oh, say about a dozen if you have that many."

Rannos laughs. "I should have all that around here, let me see." he goes off in search of what the Dwarf needs. "Another set of clothing, yeah, small bells, hmmmmm. We have a few of these." he holds up a few cow bells that make a loud tink tonk sound when the metal inside hits the edge. "Wax, we have plenty of wax, and candles, oh and torches. Torches are some of our best sellers. Plenty of people like exploring the old ruins on the edge of the forest." he says. "Here is a bundle of ten of them." he brings all the gear back to the worktable and sets it down. "So, you need anything else?" he asks.

"There is an old Moathouse off towards the East, abandoned and in ruins, we get a few adventures traveling through that purchase things go go exploring through it, never been there myself." he says as he gets everything together. "Its gonna be 8 gold, 16 silver, and 20 copper." he says.

OOC: If it's okay with you, I'd like one black set of clothes (funeral), and one medium brown set.

Althiöf paid the bill and took the items, thanked Rannos, and then made his way to the blacksmith's (8).

"Sorry for rushing, Rannos, but I'm in a hurry today.  I'll stop back soon."

Rannos smiles as the newcomer arrives. "Well, we have a large assortment of spelunking, and wilderness survival gear. What are you looking for exactly, Are you playing on using rope and grapple to climb down the sheer cliffs of an underground cavern, Or scale larger than life oaks in the deep recesses of the Elven Forest." he says with a rather joking tone. "Just look around, if you see anything you want, let me know." he says.

All the items listed in the Players Handbook are here in the Trader's Barn. They are also at 90% cost.

Virius made his way through the light rains toward the trader's barn.  His historian's robes hadn't proved adequate to the task of routing goblins from their warrens, and now that he was to stay in town for a bit ... he had decided to dress the part of an adventurer.

A nod of the head from Virius, carefully calculated to be polite ... but not too genial.

"Yes,"  He said, returning the greeting and introducing himself.  "I've only just arrived from the Duchy of Urnst and have decided to stay on for a bit in this fair village."

He holds out his torn robes, freshly laundered and carefully folded.

"I was able to study history in this garb ... but it proved unsuitable for work in the field.  I would see some of your finest adventuring gear.  If it is at all possible, I would see these mended as well."

Rannos looks over the torn robes. "I could get these fixed up nicely, as for something with a little more durability, I think I have just what you need for the heavy storms we have here in Hommlet." He goes over and collects one of the heavy cloaks, a few different colors, black, dark blue, green, and brown. "I have a few different colors, in addition to a reversible one that is black on the inside and dark blue on the outside, they are all hooded which helps with the rain, and have been slightly worked with wax to shed off the water. It shouldn't hinder your movements any." he says. He places them down on the table before you. "As for adventuring gear, what you see is what I got!" he says as he waves his hands about.

Everything listed in the Players's Handbook, chapter six. But at a listed cost of 90%.

"That would be most acceptable."  He said, passing the robes over.  "I would gladly pay for this to be done promptly as well."

"Hm,"  Virius handles the wares on offer, feeling their heft, the quality of the fabric.  "I am partial to dark green."  He says, holding up the green one.  "The banner of my homeland bears such a hue."

"Would you have anything trimmed in fur?"  He inquired, setting the cloak down.

"You know, I could have something commissioned for you. You wouldn't get it tonight, but then it could be made to your specifications. I'm friends with the tailor." he says. "I have some cloaks that have fur trim, but not on the green. The Tailor would have to add that for you." he says.

"Splendid."  Virius said.  He turned toward one of the shuttered windows, perhaps listening to the soft patter of rainfall.

"I'll take you up on that, but I'll also take the green cloak now."

He then spends a few moments with Rannos, going over the specifics and the cost.

As he began to leave, he turned back once more.  "You wouldn't know any young men in town looking for work would you?"  He inquired.  "My friends and I are forming quite the adventuring party.  Not a swordsman or an adventurous type, mind you.  More of an errand boy.  Someone to look after the pack animals and see to the setting and breaking of camp."

"If you would be so kind as to spread the word, I can be found at the Welcome Wench."

Rannos is outside cleaning up after the storm. It looks like some his wares were blown out a broken window and were all over the front part of his barn. Raimol is also outside working with him. "Raimol, go grab those shirts before the wind picks them up again." he calls.

Raimol does what he was told, and goes over and grabs a dozen or so shirts all stained from the muddy streets that had blown out from the Trader's Barn. He comes back over to Rannos. Rannos shakes his head. "Waste of product." he scoffs. "No one is gonna want to buy these now that they are soiled. Even if we got them clean again. Toss them in the rags pile." he says.
