Ora walks into the store and a set of bone chimes lets the store-keep know she's entered. The entire place looks like a small storehouse, with tightly bound boxes full of labelled gear that looks to be some kind of anti-theft measure - very practical, if a little snug.<br/>At the far end of the store is a barred bench where the owner is bartering with an irate Village scout.<br/><br/>"what do you mean you can't give me a discount." she rages... "Don;t you know that the Scouts are the lifeblood of this Village?"<br/><br/>"what can I do for you." the store-keep  pipes up, keeping a keen eye on the scout as she storms out the door past Ora..<br/><br/>"We've got all the usual gear you need for life's rigours... and a few... unique items you might be interested in" The store-keep is a tall brunette with close cropped hair, and a series of small scars along the exposed surfaces of her skin, all over her face and chest. She wore a richly gilded loincloth, the standard for a good merchant. It lent her the air of one experienced in the harshness of the world, and has won her share of its battles.<br/><br/>She waves at the contents of her store, and invites Ora to peruse her many wares and knick-knacks stored high on the rich wooden shelves.<br/><br/>"You're new here in town aren't you? I haven't seen you round before... and well, everyone comes through here at some stage... You'll be wanting a map of Genkysou village then - A steal at only 3 shells. Or if you want some nice accessories, we have some amulets of the god Mordana for 40 shells, or fresh loincloths for just 30 shells, second hand ones for just 5, or  some cute Suckercougar cat ears stitched onto a hairband to make that man you're after realise what a fantastic hunter you are.. at the fantastically low price of just 3 shells."<br/><br/>Her eyes are appraising your shellbag... and Ora can almost recognise the shop-keeps grey eyes counting out all 100 shells through the thin Gourdplant fibre bag.<br/><br/>(there are no weapons available at this location - and all armour costs 1000x times pathfinder prices - proper armour being a rarity in the World of Bones)<br/>m<a class="postlink" href="http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advancedPlayersGuide/advancedGear.html">http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/adva ... dGear.html</a>m
