War and Craft (1)
[War and Craft, Sitting Room] This moderately large tent reeks of sulfur and incense. Heat from two large burning braziers creates a comfortably warm atmosphere, and a plush rug covers the scuffed dirt underfoot. Wooden boxes litter the ground, heaped with an assortment of crumpled papers and dusty trinkets. Set opposite the exit flap is a heavy damask curtain, partitioning the center of the tent. You also see an oval shield, a long oak bench with some stuff on it, and some black leather armchairs. Obvious exits: northeast, northwest.
On the boxes you see a pair of worn leather traveler's boots stained with mud, a scorched platinum ring engraved with the image of a burning tower, a scorched steel ring engraved with the image of a fireball, a scorched copper ring engraved with the crest of the Warrior Mage guild, a scorched brass ring engraved with the image of a swooping owl, a scorched iron ring engraved with the image of a lightning bolt, a long serrated dagger with a damascened blade, a sheer black silk shirt adorned with onyx buttons and a golden Warrior Mage statuette.
On the oak bench you see a horribly warped bastard sword with a jagged chipped blade, a rusty bastard sword with a loose hilt, a blackened bastard sword with a soot-covered hilt and a carefully inked notecard.
A carefully inked notecard reads: These are a few of my early experiments forging weapons with elemental magic. While they have no magical properties, despite appearances they are indeed functional. No refunds!
Northeast: [War and Craft, Warriors' Weaponry] Squeezed tightly against the curved wall of the tent, this corner has been set aside for martial pursuits. The heat is oppressive and the air is redolent of well-oiled leather and steel, but a gaethzen globe hanging overhead ensures that wares are illuminated clearly for the convenience of patrons. A sturdy metal rack sags beneath the weight of the weapons on display. You also see a slender glass pedestal with some stuff on it. Obvious exits: north, southwest.
On the metal rack you see a curved steel scimitar with the mantra of the Warrior Mage guild etched into the silvered blade, a steel-banded walnut staff with a fire-blackened finish, a heavy ash-handled maul with a fireball-shaped steel head, a polished steel mace with a gnarled ebonwood handle wrapped in crimson leather, a polished steel bola with a knotted blue spidersilk cord, a blackened twisted-hilt claymore engraved along the blade with ruby-inlaid flames, a slender rosewood longbow carved with a sinuous dragon above the leather-wrapped grip, a midnight black crossbow engraved with the image of lightning bolts along the stock, a broad curved falchion engraved with intricate elemental symbols, a steel warrior's broadsword with a leather-wrapped hilt embossed with the crest of the Warrior Mage guild, an exquisitely balanced rapier with a gold lacquered rosewood handle covered in triskele crests, an iron-plated warhammer with a rosewood handle stained reddish-brown and a narrow-bladed steel halberd with a carved applewood haft.
On the glass pedestal you see a short narrow-bladed halberd with a cambrinth-inlaid ironwood shaft, a steel-capped ironwood quarter staff carved with multiple cambrinth-inlaid symbols, a double-headed warhammer with spiraling cambrinth inlay along the handle, a black walnut gut-stringed crossbow with an engraved cambrinth-inlaid stock, a triple-fullered steel broadsword with a cambrinth-inlaid hilt, a gracefully curved scimitar with a pair of cambrinth wings set in the guard, a smooth silver-trimmed ebonwood longbow with a cambrinth-studded grip, a soot-dusted jagged claymore with a cambrinth fireball pommel, an engraved silverwillow-shafted maul with a cambrinth-studded steel head, a ring-hilted sword rapier with a twisted bone and cambrinth grip, a heavy steel-shafted spiked mace with a leather-wrapped handle bordered with cambrinth, a gleaming steel-plated bola with cambrinth beads woven into the cord and a VERY PROMINENT SIGN.
A VERY PROMINENT SIGN reads: Through painstaking effort I have obtained a modest selection of cambrinth-enhanced weapons. They have been masterfully wrought to retain their original balance and heft. I do not know how much mana they may be charged with, so purchase at your own risk!
North: Neatly tucked away in a dark corner of the tent, this alcove is dedicated to protective gear with a distinctly arcane theme. A ring of tall armor stands, each painted a different color, provides a circular centerpiece. Shields of all sizes and shapes hang from straps secured to the tent wall. Obvious exits: south, west, northwest.
On the tent wall you see a small steel shield adorned around the rim with platinum filigree, a square iron shield adorned with acid-etched steel plates, a small pearl-studded ironwood shield with a leather-wrapped handle, a small polished steel shield engraved with a hunting wolf, an engraved iron shield with a studded steel rim, a reinforced small shield emblazoned with an owl in flight, a small reinforced ironwood shield riveted with polished silver studs, a reinforced bronze shield with iron rivets set around the rim, a silvery ironwood shield reinforced with thick iron strips and a gold-inlaid reinforced ironwood shield.
West: [War and Craft, Mystical Magery] A faint, almost subliminal tingle awakens the senses to a hidden power coursing through this area. An odd assortment of crystals, focusing apparatus, and shimmering objects send brilliant refractions across the plush rug that covers the ground. A tall supporting pole, hung with wares suspended from chains, rises from the ground to lift the crest of the tent far above. You also see a wicker basket and a low table with some stuff on it. Obvious exits: north, east, west.
On the supporting pole you see a small notecard, a crimson cape cut from fine silk and embroidered with leaping red-gold flames, a square of fine blue-white gauze trimmed with tiny blue glass beads, a small iridescent glass bauble refracting a rainbow of colors, a spiny golden sphere decorated with silver wire, a silver-tipped gryphon feather decorated with intricate scrollwork and a pair of sturdy grey trollskin boots trimmed with a dark blue fringe.
A small notecard reads: Each of these items produces a spell's effect when activated. Use at your own risk!
On the low table you see a streaked cambrinth armband inset with dozens of tiny sparkling gems, a delicate gold pendant in the shape of a winged serpent clutching a cambrinth egg in its talons, a delicate cambrinth-studded silver chain bracelet with an intricate platinum clasp, a coiled silver armlet shaped like a snake studded with cambrinth scales, a brushed platinum wristlet with a cambrinth-inlaid etching of the Warrior Mage guild crest, an articulated gold bracer studded with cambrinth lightning bolts, an elegantly penned sign and a deep velvet-lined tray.
An elegantly penned sign reads: "These represent a small collection of precious items I have personally enhanced with decorative cambrinth stones."
In the velvet-lined tray you see a set of gem-encrusted platinum dragons set with sparkling cambrinth teardrops, a set of sapphire-studded cambrinth swords, a set of twisted ironwood wands tipped with pear-shaped cambrinth stones, a set of burnished gold spheres set with flame-shaped cambrinth stones, a set of polished silver lightning bolts tipped with cambrinth, a set of crimson-hued fireballs trailing carved cambrinth flames, a set of shapeless bronze talismans studded evenly with small cambrinth stones, a set of tiny pewter shields emblazoned with the cambrinth-studded crest of the Warrior Mage guild, a set of wide etched silver rings studded with cambrinth and a set of tiny silver tarts embedded with round cambrinth stones.
In the wicker basket you see a fist-sized cambrinth mountain with streams of ruby lava flowing down the sides, a realistic-looking heap of cambrinth dung, a folded notecard, a pile of cambrinth fingernail clippings that appear slightly chewed, a tiny dark green cambrinth inchworm with dozens of stubby legs, a calloused pewter foot with long cambrinth toenails, a crooked pewter hand with long cambrinth fingernails, a reclining cambrinth feline missing its tail and head and a tiny cambrinth bean polished to a brilliant shine.
