Message: <blockquote data-quote="RichGreen" data-source="post: 4560197" data-attributes="member: 2039">The Curio Cabinet, Mercantile QuarterI love putting this kind of location in my games! The stuffed beholder is stolen shamelessly from the Old Xoblob Shop from the FR sourcebook Volo's Guide to Waterdeep. The Curio CabinetThe Curio Cabinet is tucked away down a backstreet a few blocks from the Colossus called Tinker’s Alley, and is an unassuming stone and timber building with a faded sign, hanging half off its hinges. The glass windows are thick with grime and hard to see through. Inside, the shop is one room with exposed ceiling beams supported by a number of pillars. Crammed into this space is a vast, untidy and dust-covered assortment of items from plundered tombs, dungeons and ruins across the world, brought here by adventurers. Dominating the space is a huge, eyeless stuffed beholder which hangs from the ceiling. The other contents are less dramatic but still exotic – erotic drow scupltures, old treasure maps, statuettes of many-headed and –limbed Sahasran gods, canopic jars from Khemit, bronze prayer wheels from a monastery high in the Pillars of Heaven Mountains, lizardfolk tribal boundary marking poles, and so on. Irene comes across as a sweet, friendly old lady who always offers her visitors a cup of tea, keen to see what they have for sale. However, rudeness or, even worse, mean-spririted remarks will cause her to give the offending PC a sharp slap on the wrist!Occasionally, PCs will be able to buy magic items here of their level or lower but Irene does not typically deal in weapons or armour. There is a 20% chance Irene might have a specific in stock that a PC is looking for.  Of course, there is more to Irene than meets the eye. The elderly Batiaran woman is actually Naelere, an Elder Bronze Dragon who acts as an unofficial guardian of the city against its enemies both internal and external, rarely intervening directly.  As the owner of The Curio Cabinet she comes into frequent contact with adventurers wanting to sell loot whom she is then often able to steer towards somewhere she wants them to go, for example, by offering them an old treasure map for sale at a bargain price.  Any comments?CheersRichard</blockquote>
