Thorkil & Fonkin: Stone, Steel and Woodworks Galore
Read the following passage to the players as they enter Thorkil & Fonkin's:
This crowded little shop is jam packed with an incredible assortment of goods. The east wall is covered with hangers and shelves loaded with every type and size of armor a safety-conscious adventurer could ever want. The floor area has over a dozen racks and cases of weapons ranging from simple steel daggers to elaborate repeating crossbows. The southern wall is lined with shelf upon shelf of handcrafted items that will interest travelers and homeowners alike. Statuettes, holy symbols, medallions and other intricate works of art are all on display. To the right of the door, a hot forge glows and the clang of steel on steel echoes across the store. A well-muscled dwarf is hard at work while his gnome companion tinkers away at some small project. |
Thorkil the dwarf and Fonkin the gnome keep a well-stocked store where the PC's can find most weapons and armor types available in the PHB, and hand-crafted holy symbols and medallions representing each of the gods of Faerun. The duo will also make custom masterwork items for the group by request. They can craft just about anything that can be made with steel, wood or stone. While unable to create magical items on their own, Thorkil and Fonkin have obtained the following items that are displayed for sale in their shop:
Thorkil and Fonkin represent Kheldell's comic relief. The grumpy dwarf and the lighthearted, fast-talking gnome tend to rub each other the wrong way. While in reality they are the best of friends, observers will hear curses and threats fly back and forth at an astounding rate.
