[sblock=Taran, Tac]Owned and operated by Ven Vinder and his family, Sandpoint's oldest and best-stocked general store has a little bit of everything--farm equipment, weapons, tack, tools, furniture, food, and even homemade pies oby Ven's wife Solsta. Ven even keeps a shocking supply of alchohol in his basement, although a customer has to ask to see the "wine cellar" before Ven'll admit to his special stock. Ven has a particular fondness for harsh bitter grog and rotgut imported from places as far as the orc city of Urglin. His true pride, is his daughters, whom he dotes upon.[/sblock]Rows of neatly ordered shelving units filled with foodstores, tack, farm equipment, and the odd weapon greet Sivan, Elyra, Talashia, Tac, and Sandstone. The smell of oiled leather and something else rich in suet and minerals greet the fivesome as they enter Vinder's General Store. From the back, the tow-headed hair of Shalelu is just visible over the aisles of stores standing by a rear counter. After walking to the back of the store, it looks as if Shalelu is preparing for a lengthy jaunt in the Hinterlands, if the piled quantity of food rations is anything to judge by.
The shopkeeper, a middle-aged man of common stock, looks up from tallying Shalelu's purchase. "Be with you in half a moment." Shalelu also looks up from her goods and, spotting the group, smiles in easy welcome. "Heading out yourselves, are you? Ven's a good sort, and he's got most everything. He'll fix you up good for the road. Where're you traveling?"
