Shop Atmosphere

Kesth speaks in terse, gravel-toned sentences and punctuates sales with a soft metallic laugh — a byproduct of his duergar upbringing. He refuses to sell to those who carry open sunlight sources (considers it bad business) and charges more to surface elves (claims they smell of sky). He keeps a small, caged grue-hound that he insists improves mount behavior; customers who pet the hound are regarded with amused suspicion. Haggling is expected; a good story about survival in the Underdark may shave 5–10% off prices.
