[Fairegrounds Clearing]
A gentle upslope leads from a stream-side willow grove to a rolling meadowland.
The beaten-down grass is strewn with hay, improving traction on the slippery,
slanted path. A cacophony of voices and smells accompany the sound of crunching
hay beneath the feet of the revelers. You also see a dark-eyed gypsy lass, a
colorful arch-roofed wagon, a gold and blue striped tent, a brightly painted
merchant's caravan, and a tall sun-yellow tent.
Obvious paths: north, east, south.
The lass is a graceful young woman with dark eyes and long wavy black hair. Her bare feet are stained with the dirt of the road, revealed by her kilted-up skirt. An embroidered peasant-style blouse is covered by a brightly woven shawl draped over her arms. She carries a wicker basket filled with clothing and jewelry. Perhaps if you ask her about her basket, she will show them to you.
A dark-eyed gypsy lass smiles warmly and says, "I have many things made by my people." Opening her basket, she shows you the following items:
| 1) a dragon and fae pin . . . . . . . . . . | 4250 | |
| 2) a dragon's heart ring . . . . . . . . . . | 6850 | |

| 8) a colorful gypsy kerchief . . . . . . . . | 500 | |
| 9) a multi-colored woven gypsy shawl . . . | 2250 | |
"Just ask me about any of the items if you want to know the price," she adds.

[Chizelli's Charms]
The traveling caravan is gaily painted with vines and flowers, while luxuriously
woven carpets cushion the polished wood floor. Finely crafted built-in cabinets
line the walls, their sliding wood doors thrown open to display racks of
velvet-lined trays filled with charms of every description. A cat perches atop
one of the cabinets, its slitted green eyes gazing intently at a set of delicate
crystal chimes suspended from the roof. You also see a sparkling crystal coffer,
an archway, the wagon's door, a small sign, a large placard, and a jewelry box.
Obvious exits: none.
A small sign reads:

cannot be worn by themselves. Some charms are magic, some merely charming -- I

[The Tent of Avnel the Glassblower]
Smoke and shadows fill the tent as fragrant woods and resins burn in a tiny iron
brazier. Though the sales area is dimly lit, the workroom beyond a glass bead
curtain is bright, displaying the vibrant colors of the curtain's firebird
pattern to its best advantage. A parchment scroll has been hung from a tent
pole, welcoming visitors to the tent of Avnel the Glassblower. You also see a
velvet-lined tray with some stuff on it, some stained glass windows in one
corner of the tent, a marble pedestal with some stuff on it, the tent flap, a
wooden rack with some stuff on it, and a jewelry box.
Obvious exits: none.
Welcome to the tent of Avnel the Glassblower,
Creater of the rare, the wonderful, and the merely lovely.
Master of the elements, my children and I work together,
bringing you the unique items you see before you.
Lovely jewelry, to adorn a loved one or yourself, the
vibrant colors formed in the heart of the dragon itself!
Jewelry, woven with delicate tendrils of metal and light,
not to mention... magic.
Water orbs, to amuse and delight you, an amusing
souvenir to hold treasured memories.
And a magical sphere to light your path, and keep your
feet from straying.

[Nytingale's Instruments, Showroom]
The traveling caravan is well stocked with supplies for the most discriminating
music lover. Pegs line the walls, holding tools and completed items, while a
half-finished lyre is held in place by clamps on a workbench near the door. A
shifting bead curtain covers the back wall of the room. You also see a hanging
sign, the caravan door, a peg-board with some stuff on it, a wooden counter with
some stuff on it, a battered folding table with some stuff on it, and a curving
wicker basket.
Obvious exits: none.
Nytingale al'Danae, Lutier
Before you buy, some information about my merchandise.
All sales are final, so best to know before you spend your coin.
Jackets are not pocketed, however they are cut loosely,
and may be worn over armor.
The shagreen instrument cases are of medium size, and
will hold a lute or mandolin easily. The leather long pouches
are of a size to hold a flute or whistle or anything about that
big that you care to put in. The drum pouch is just what it
sounds like - of a good size to hold a bodhran or tambourine.
Temple drums are much deeper than a bodhran, and won't
fit in a drum pouch.
Instruments are sold as is, and will not be altered by
me - removing the inlay would weaken the instrument,
and carving just plain can't be undone.
