Shop Atmosphere

“Mara hums an old Imperial drinking song while she works; she will barter stories for 1 gp off any item if the party shares a good tale. She never sells more than one illicit item (Skooma) to the same buyer in a week and insists on seeing a travel permit or a convincing lie before selling lockpicks to obvious cityfolk.”
