Fun with D&D in Retail Sales - Round Two

MortalPlague

Adventurer
I work in retail sales. A large part of my job is to chat with customers and help them find the products they're searching for. Well, today I decided to see how many miscellaneous D&D terms I could slip into my regular sales banter.

Some of you might have read about my first go at this (http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?316872-Fun-with-D-amp-D-in-Retail-Sales!). This time, I tried to focus on adding 'adventures'.

Here's what I got away with:

treasure chest
power source
track
crystal ball
dragon's hoard
tome
In Search Of The Unknown
bag of holding
doppleganger
Keep On The Borderlands
(that was a fun one)
dungeon
phylactery
scrying
The Steading Of The Hill Giant Chieftan
(proud of that one)
strength
intelligence
wisdom
dexterity
prismatic spray


I was hoping to slip in 'Against The Giants', 'Demonweb Pits', and 'Thunderspire Labyrinth' somehow, but the opportunity never came up. Still, nobody even batted an eye. :)

Pray tell us, what kind of products do you try to sell? If you'd work in a book shop, I'd cry foul! but in a grocery stor I'd marvel at your eloquence! ;)

My department sells electronics, including cell phones, cameras, home phones, microwaves, mini-fridges, stereos, and GPS devices. No TVs or computers in my section though, those each have their own section. No video games either (which would make some of those terms really easy). :)

"So you see, this USB drive functions sort of like a phylactery, except instead of housing your soul, it stores your valuable data, and instead of an unholy ritual of blood to activate it, all you need to do it plug it into your USB port. Much simpler!"
