Shop Atmosphere

“Every beam and shelf is decorated with clean spider-web patterns, not as dust but as deliberate black lacquer inlay. The owner keeps a bell on the counter that only rings when someone says they need to sell something, since this is the only store in town that will buy used gear, oddities, and trade goods. Prices are fair for a frontier shop, but bargaining is expected if the party has salvage, pelts, relics, or monster parts.”
