The Black Market

2 Conversations

As you walk along the corridor, it seems to have suddenly gotten darker and with a much seedier ambience. Shady dealers skulk in the shadows. Suspicious looking substances are smoked freely. This is the black market, where bounty hunters, mercenaries, pirates, villains, outlaws, etc. come to buy 'interesting' weapons and itmes that can not be found in conventional stores. Look around, haggling is encouraged, but your reputation may be hurt if you walk away empty handed. If you're lucky, that's all that'll be hurt. All weaopns and items except the caster can be enchanted for an extra 10% sale price. This place sells everything you can't get in decent stores; if you see something that you'd like but don't see here, let me know and I'll find it
