Shop Atmosphere

“The shop smells of hot iron, oil, and gunpowder. Gideon insists on polishing any purchased weapon before it leaves; he hums hymns from his youth while he works and keeps a clockwork sparrow that performs odd repairs. He is unusually proud of his firearms (rare for a D&D smith), will not sell more than 100 charges of gunpowder at once without an official permit, and trades favors for rare metals or clockwork components rather than always taking coin.”
