The Interplanar Shop

Welcome to the Interplanar Shop, your source of.... well, just about anything you could ask for. We have traveled, and continue to travel, across the planes, to find rare, unique, and unusual items, many of which are available right here for sale! Food, clothes, weapons, armor, toys, utensils, and more, from everywhere from Arcadia to Zakdorn!

Bags of portal? We've got 'em! Cassava Chips? Right here, 10 pennies per bag! Boxing glove arrows? Yes sir, right over in the weapons aisle. Tarrasque leather underwear? I have no idea where we got THAT, but we have it! And if you want something we don't have on stock, we'll scour the planes to see if we can find a supplier!

The only things we do not sell. by policy:
- Individual servings of alcoholic beverages. We sell bottles, packs, and bulk containers, but we do not sell individual servings, in deference to the bars and inns of the town. Buy a bottle and some glasses, or just head over to Trog's or to the Dancing Fox. Incidentally, if either of them wish to buy alcoholic beverages from us, they're welcome to at a special 10% discount wholesale price.
- Weapons of mass destruction. While swords, guns, etc. are available for sale, we do not stock weapons capable of destroying city blocks or larger, including any 'world-destroyers'.
- Anything that requires a sentient's sacrifice or slavery, any animal product that requires killing a sentient being (human, elf, pixie, fiendish dire wererabbit, etc.) to obtain, or similar 'basic moral stipulations'.

Just a note: there will not be any violence here. Anyone who attempts to seriously harm anyone else, except in self defense, while on the premeses will promptly fall asleep ((i.e. they will have to make 3 successive will saves in order to stay conscious, and if they fall asleep they will remain asleep for 2+1d12 hours)), and be carted out.

Come one, come all, and buy whatever you want!

[Mee]

K ((Like always, it's K.)) walks in, and looks around, trying to find something good for a long trip.

[DanielX]

Kelindale is greeted by "Mary" the Beholder:

Welcome to the Interplanar Shop.

[Mee]

He raises an eyebrow.
"Well, it's good to be here.
Do you have anything that would help on a long journey?"

[DanielX]

Certainly. Check the Adventurer Supplies section; if you have any specific, Bob should be around there. Also, we also have a good stock of canned and preserved goods in the Dry Food section if you need anything to eat. Or Kitchen Goods for items like Canning Kits or other useful goods. Or Weapons... actually, pretty much the whole store has stuff which adventurers could find of use. Except maybe the Toys, Adult 'toys', and the Home Electronics, though I am sure some keen adventurer will figure out a way to use even those to his or her advantage.

Enjoy Your Shopping Experience!

The Beholder affects a very cheesy looking smile, knowing exactly how corny that last line was.

[Mee]

K sighs at the corny-ness.
"Well, food isn't an issue, I think I'll need some rope, and some more arrows."

[DanielX]

Adventurer Supplies for the rope, weapons for the arrows.

Enjoy Your Shopping Exp-

Daniel suddenly moves in....

Kelindale! I see you have found my store. How have you been and what do you need?

[Mee]

K nods at "Mary", then turns to Daniel.
"I've been pretty good.
I need some rope, and another computer game. The one I have is getting boring."

[DanielX]

Rope is right over this way. As for computer games, we have quite a few in Home Electronics. The problem is, computer games come for a nearly infinite variety of systems. I'm not even entirely certain what a "Sinclair ZX/Spectrum" was, but we have a whole stock of games for it cheap.... but they are entirely worthless if your computer's a Qa'Toq'aL-562, Apple Lisa, or a divining rod..... He begins to walk Kelindale over to Adventurer Supplies, looking for rope.

[Mee]

"M'kay.

As for rope, I'd like something that won't break."

[DanielX]

Okay then, something that won't break... under what sort of force? 1 gold piece per inch will get you a thumb-thick piece of spider silk rope... that'll take about 5-10 tons, easily. There's nylon rope threaded with aluminum wire, not nearly as good but its a lot cheaper. I've also got several reams of a tough, lightweight, magical rope from a place called Lothlorien... hell, I've also got Tholian silk ropes...Or do you even want rope? I have a "portable tractoring device" that will serve many of the same uses.

It all comes down to what you want to tow with the rope. Yourself? An Elephant? A Balor?

[Mee]

"Actually, the first stuff will suit my purposes.
Mostly just me, but you never can tell what'll happen.

Oh, and I'd really like it to be cut proof."

[DanielX]

Spider silk works pretty well, especially the special Ungolian spider silk we get. MUCH harder to cut than nylon rope; heck we have to cut lengths out for customers using a diamond-tipped, adamantium-chained, floor-mounted industrial chainsaw... and you won't believe how fast they go through chains... that's why it costs 1 gold per inch! If you want something that resists even THAT, then its extremely costly because we have to have it manufactured to the right length...

[Mee]

"Alright, well, I need it today, so I'll take the first stuff."

[DanielX]

Okay then.... hey, Kif, a friend of mine wants some Ungolian spider silk cut!

Kelindale, How many feet/inches of rope do you want?

((Kif's a middle aged male goblin, but of a different type than most of the goblins in the town. He looks like a short, brown-skinned humanoid (4' or so tall) with very large ears and large teeth...))

[Mee]

((OKay.))
"200 feet will do."

[DanielX]

Kif heads back behind closed doors. There is a sound of intense grinding.

Lessee... that's 2400 gold. I'll lower it since you're a friend of mine, and its also opening day so that's a further discount. So 1600 gold, or its equivalent.

[Mee]

"Oh, well, I could pay full price if you want.
Or, how about if we make it 2000?"

[DanielX]

No.... I insist. I'm getting quite a bit of money from other sources anyway. Mostly interplanar import/export...

[Mee]

"Alright, if you insist."
He pays.
"Oh, and I need an arrow."

[DanielX]

Weapons are thataway.... as for arrows, what sort? We have both plain and 'trick' arrows, poisons, different construction materials...

[Mee]

"Not poison."
He's very firm about that.
"Preferably something that'll deal Holy damage."

[DanielX]

We've got some silver-tipped arrows dipped in holy water, will that suffice?

[Mee]

"That depends, does the holy water coating stay, or does it drip off?"

[DanielX]

Should keep it 'blessed' for awhile... but I also have holy water for re-dipping...

[Mee]

"Well, I think that'll work. I don't need any extra.
Also, just one."

[DanielX]

One "holy" arrow? That's only 15 silver, pocket change given the cost of the rope you're buying.

[Mee]

"Yup."
He gives 2 gold.
((Since 15 silver = 1.5 gold))

[DanielX]

Here's your change. He hands him 5 silver.Do you want anything else?
