You cautiously approach
the old ramshackle magic-shop at the end of the alley. Looking around you
notice that the shop itself is kept in perpetual darkness thanks to the
shadows cast by the large number of other taller buildings surrounding the
shop. Looking down at the scrap of parchment in your right hand you again read
the directions scribbled down by the partially-drunk blacksmith you consulted,
for the location of the old magic shop.
"Down
the main alley, it 'tis, look for the shop that sits in shadows",
you read, as you
repeat the directions again mentally making sure that you have found the right
place and not been lead astray by an old-drunks' foolish and unreliable
memories.
You crumple up the scrap of parchment and once
again look up at the shop. There appears to be no candles or lanterns lit to
indicate that the shopkeeper is inside, but you have the strange feeling of
some sort of presence that seems to be emanating from the premises. However at
this early hour of the evening it seems unlikely that the owner would be
inside.
Still you step up to the main shop door and, as
if by magic, the door opens allowing you entry. Looking inside you see that
the shop is much larger than it appears from the outside.
"What
type of strange magic is this",
you think as you
continue on past the threshold and into the main shop itself.
You are startled as a small hunched-over goblin
approaches you from the left of the store. Quickly reaching for your weapon,
you then pause as you realize the goblin's aged appearance. Concluding that
this poor creature would not be much of a threat, you regain your composure as
the goblin begins to speak, slowly looking you over.
"Greetings
to you",
the goblin says
in what seems to be perfectly articulated Common.
You watch as his yellow eyes slowly pass over
your well-proportioned frame.
"My name
is Grel, and I am the proprietor of this fine establishment. We offer much in
the way of magical services, from quills and parchment to spells and magical
items".
You smile without
realizing it as the goblin mentions your main intention for being here.
"It is
magical items you seek, then, well come with me, we have much to offer...",
he says as he
limps off towards the backwards area of the store, he then stops, turning
around to meet your gaze.
"...for
the right price of course".
He laughs
bitterly as he continues on his way. Unsure of what to expect, you follow
anyway, excitement beaming on your face at the anticipation of what you will
soon find.
