Jacob Pryor's Shop soon to open!

The following announcement was pinned up on several walls, lightposts, and message boards around town as an advertisement:

We trade everythinge fromme trynketse to weaponse (lawyss wyllynge)! We worke under a bartere systeme, so brynge ynne your olde armoure, or thatte pote you neverre uyse!

Now Hyringe!

Jacob walked in the door on the first day of business, put on an apron(after all, every professional shopkeeper had one), and stood behind the counter, waiting for his first customer.

A beautifully painted sign hung above the door, and inside were various trinkets, as well as practical tools, peices of armor, a few swords, some of which were very strange and exotic looking. The shop was divided into several sections.

Importse

This section was a treasure trove, or a junk pile, depending on your persuasions. Many foreign items were here, from jewelry boxes, to candle sticks, to lace, and glass, all of it imported from foreign lands.

Magycal Matearialse
This section was a wide expanse of various plant and animal substances, all which were rumoured to have various pharmeceutical or magical effects.

Tobacconiste
This was obviously Pryor's favorite section. There was a wide collection of various pipes, leaf tobacco, pipe tobacco, etc. The tobacco was stored in a large, glassed-in room, above which was a sign. "Please Keep door closed!"

Armour
This section included several types of mail, made of various alloys, and then many different types of exotic peacemeal armor. The prise of this collection was a nearly complete suit that stood in the corner, and looked as if it would only fit a giant. The suit was made for someone who stood about 7'4, and was incredibly thick. It looked to be extremely impractical, and would probably not sell. Judging by pryor's placement of the armor - overlooking the

Weapiynse
This section held a few normal weapons. Sabers, longswords, etc, but there were a few interesting weapons. Weapons in a specific section were hooked, wicked looking things, obviously very ancient, and designed quite obviously to be used to cut saddles, or drag a man off of his horse. Why someone would waste his time with such an intricate weapon when he could simply stab the man would be beyond the average customer.

Well, every new shop was bound to garner someone's attention. And while Suede hadn't held a significant interest in the recent smithy coming to presence, save sending an errand boy in to exam the quality of the wares... something about this one added a flicker of curiousity that he needed to sate.

There was a general tendency for him to subvert his own responsibilities at his little tailor shop from time to time... to time, and thus no one would really hold any suprise to watch him departing it before the work hours had faded. Customers rarely complained, he was good with a needle and always had their goods on hand.

He stepped into the shop without a word, and hopefully without much sound, being that he hardly was apt to wear anything heavier than the workings his trade. Despite the fineries he crafted, he even still opted to wear fairly simply clothing, light boots, nothing of great merit, nor of great heat. Quite useful considering the weather. His colors were greens today, nothing vibrant, just simple.

After a moments glance he'd move towards the weapons and begin a methodical strut around the store, skipping over the tobacco portion entirely.
