[Jakuv's All-Trades Outlet, Inlet]
Tent flaps thrown wide and top-vents opened to the sky, the interior of Jakuv's Outlet is bright and airy. Several clerks and stockboys can be seen in their hustle and bustle to the north. Some seem to be carrying extra stock to or from some remote locale in the compound, some carry pads of paper and quills and seem to be monitoring and tabulating sales, and others are stationed near various racks, crates, boxes, and tables to make sure that the customers' orders are immediately filled. You also see a rather large sign.
Obvious exits: north, out.
A rather large sign reads:
There are quite a number of items sold here, but only four rules.
1) Make sure you try to GET what you want before you BUY it!
2) APPRAISE the desired item to prevent disappointment. FAIR WARNING!.
3) GENERALLY SPEAKING, containers are in the center, clothing is to the west,
weapons and armor are to the north, and props and gadgets to the east.
Where something is sold is a good indication of its properties!
4) Absolutely no refunds!

Collections of cases, batches of backpacks, piles of pouches, and stacks of satchels are appealingly arranged around the area. Several studious stockboys stand silently smiling and survey the surroundings, scanning to see the shoppers' selections and skillfully stocking any shrinking stores with surplus supplies snatched from secreted spots before swiftly scurrying to their specified stations.

In the easternmost parts of the fine Gnomish shop, arranged for fine browsing masses, is a wide-ranging jumble of gadgets and props (and even some handy eyeglasses).

You also see a short marble column with a peach lace lady-in-waiting's fan on it, a chipped saucer with a delicate silk lady-in-waiting's handkerchief on it, a small silk cushion with a polished silver jeweler's loupe with a clear crystal lens on it, a crooked nail with a domestic servant's feather duster made from gidii feathers on it, a velvet-lined tray with some stuff on it, a battered red toolbox, a cast-iron lamppost with some stuff on it, some wood pegs with some stuff on it, a dusty wheelbarrow with some stuff on it, a polished bloodwood pedestal with some stuff on it, and a flameoak sideboard with some stuff on it.

The furthermost reaches of this massive black tent are reserved for the dangerous stuff. The clinking is loud with more coin being spent and the "clients" look slightly more rough. As if fully expecting that sort of folk here, all the workers have sharp, darting eyes, but the one thing that's clear is there's no hint of fear and they're ready for any surprise. You also see a wooden trough, a scrubbed butcher's block with some stuff on it, and a rosewood weapons display with some stuff on it.
