Ghelkyn's Magic Shoppe
Read the following passage to the players as they enter Ghelkyn's Magic Shoppe:
|
You can't help it… the first thought to enter your mind is, "What happened here?!" This tiny shop has several tables scattered haphazardly about, each piled high with a variety of mismatched items. Scrolls crumpled under dusty tomes, potions balanced precariously on top of stacks of apparent junk, daggers sticking point down into wooden tabletops…all this and more assaults your eyes as you take in the scene before you. The ancient wrinkled man behind the desk to the rear fits the role of "befuddled old wizard" perfectly. His spectacles hang at an angle off the tip of his long, crooked nose. His bushy white eyebrows bob up and down as he studies some weathered text laid out before him. His sparkling purple robe and hopelessly bent cone-shaped hat look like they've seen better days. As you step into his store the old man hastily pushes aside his project (knocking several books off his desk in the process), stands up and brushes himself off creating miniature tornadoes of swirling dust. He hobbles around his desk (knocking off two or three more books), extends a knobby hand and introduces himself. "Ahhh... welcome to my humble shop," he says, "I am Ghelkyn the Great, Wizard of Great Reknown. How may I be of service to you this day, worthy travelers?" |
Ghelkyn Stormwind is, in fact, a befuddled old wizard. A former adventurer, he gave up that harsh life to study in the relatively peaceful atmosphere provided by Kheldell. His endless hours of isolation buried in his books have had a marked affect on his social skills. Make no mistake, however, Ghelkyn is a skilled practitioner of magic and experienced in the ways of the world. He always has Vampiric Touch memorized and has a watchful eye out for evildoers.
Ghelkyn's store may appear like unorganized chaos, and that is exactly what it is. There isn't any rhyme or reason to it's layout. The PC's are free to dig about and see what they can find. Ghelkyn actually has an impressive array of magical items ranging from weapons and armor to scrolls and wands.
Ghelkyn will be happy to describe (in agonizingly painful detail) the function and use of any item in his store. Pricing is fairly standard, but Ghelkyn is surprisingly unmovable as far as his rates are concerned. He is not willing to haggle or barter… the price he offers is final.
