Shop Atmosphere

“Shop smells of ink, grease, and something vaguely magical. The proprietor prefers barter and will accept favors, stolen trinkets, or conversation in place of full coin. Some items are mislabeled, a few are cursed, and haggling is expected. A cat that may or may not be a familiar guards the back door. The owner only sells certain expensive items after a 'trust test'—which usually involves running a small errand or getting a potion of dubious provenance tested on a rat.”
