The Store

A large wooden building stands with it's back against a large forest, only to have another across the road turning this building into its own remote community when people would spend their time here. Ornate carvings inlaid with silver glistened on the sturdy pillars outside that held up the over hanging deck on the second floor. Though, like most other taverns that doubled as stores in Crystal Ether, this one was odd in that, it had a third floor, and even a fourth floor. Such a large standard building was far from the ordinary, but being so far from any village, town, or city it was meant to be a good resting spot for any weary traveler. The owner, Merik offered all he could through what he had. He had an ample amount of weapons, armors, and all sorts of mundane and otherwise useless utensils that someone could possibly find useful.

The first floor was by far the largest of them all, a richly decorated interior with red carpets and moose or deer antlers to adorn the walls, and two giant shimmering gold chandeliers dangling from the ceiling that lit up the dining area as well as the side shop for weapons and armor.

A great long wooden counter that circled around in an oval shape stretched from one side of the building to near the other, looping around with one side full of taps and various other supplies to run the bar/tavern, and the other with a glass case inlaid into the counter showing all sorts of trinkets, gizmos, and the occasional armament or sample piece of an armor.

One man ran the entire place, and was in desperate need of some help, he hardly got any business, and for how much money he poured into the place, he was hoping to get more.

Merk, a tall yet rather rotund man, with long black hair that was slowly falling from his head and a faded beard that hung down to the middle of his gut with a few patches of slop here and there, was hunched over behind a long wooden counter which had a few window panes on the front to show what was inside. He looked up and out the circular window just above the main door to see what time of day it was, and judging by what he could see, he would have ventured a guess at about late afternoon, early evening. He stood up slowly and with a rather heavy step walked around the counter and trotted over towards the door, the floor creaking and cracking all along the way. He pulled open the door and peered out to see that it was still only midmorning and the road was near to empty except a few wolves meandering around within the brush on the far side. He jabbed his hand out in defeat of his still inept ability to tell what time of day it was, but he supposed as long as today brought some business, it wouldn't be so bad.

He strode back in leaving the door wide open for any to come in if they want. Plunked himself down at his stool behind the counter and started to play around with one of the many gizmos his Gnome friend had made for him, hoping it would at least provide a little amusement throughout the day so he didn't get too bored and fall asleep...

Väsein walked through the door, looking young and healthy. " My good shopkeeper, would you happen to have any extravigant robes? I'm going to a council meeting and I want to look my best," he explained.

**OOC: Vasein... you're on a SHIP!!! There is no SHOP on a SHIP in the middle of the OCEAN. This post is Null, until you reach shore...If you crumb-bums decide to do something about that little factor...**

There could be a store on the ship

"I need throwing stars... For what purpose you ask, sorry but thats none of your buisness, I have money so let's see them..." Vis said rather fast, he had just arrived in the city and was well on his way to remaking the nameless thief that plauged the entire city...
