A Spacious Silver-Threaded Pavilion

[Wylbur's Weaponry, Foyer]

Small braziers containing banked coals stand in each corner, illuminating this small room. The dim light causes reflections to glimmer dully off various empty weapon racks stored at the edges of the area. A passage to the west welcomes all comers with invitingly tied-back curtains, while drawn curtains and a small note suspended from a cord block passage to the east. Along the north wall, a heavy velvet drapery conceals the contents of the room beyond. You also see a battered mannequin with some stuff on it and a large modwir sign.

Obvious exits: west, out.

Sign reads:

This week, featuring a fine selection of clothing for the discerning adventurer as well as a wide selection of the best crushing weapons.

[Wylbur's Weaponry, West Wing]

This area is well lit by numerous glass-shielded torches planted evenly along the southern wall. A highly polished case dominates the center of the room, the burnished sheen of the metal a telltale sign of the pride the shopkeeper takes in his wares. Richly dyed runners surround the case, their deep pile muffling the footfalls of the patrons.

Obvious exits: north, east, west.

In the polished case you see a well-balanced grey vultite taavish (51.5k), a fel-hafted mithglin fang (33k - 6 pounds - 3x blunt - blessable), a silver-veined imflass war hammer (22250 silver), a heavy ora horseman's hammer (12750 silver) and a blackened mithril hoolurge (4800 silver).

 

[Wylbur's Weaponry, West Wing]

An elaborate, magical lighting fixture hangs from the tent poles, suspended well above the head of the average patron. A round display stand is positioned directly under the light fixture, the metal on the various weapons displayed there reflecting the light and adding to the illumination of the room. You also see a tapestry covering the northern wall that glorifies the melee of battle.

Obvious exits: south, west.

[Wylbur's Weaponry, West Wing]

An elegant silver weapon rack stands in the room, positioned diagonally across a woven aubergine and silver area rug. Sinuous vines of acid-etched metal twine over the rack, mimicking the vine pattern woven around the edges of the rug. On each side of the rack embroidered magenta-tipped petals peek out, surrounded by an umber ring of thorns.

Obvious exits: south, east.

On the silver weapon rack you see a gold-veined vultite morning star (63.5k), a mithglin spiked morning star (45k), a triple-headed glaes morning star (37.5k), a burnished faenor morning star (11k) and an ora-spiked grey morning star (15k).

 

[Wylbur's Weaponry, West Wing]

A curved display table fits precisely against the outside corner of the pavilion, creating a small space for a clerk to stand between the table and the fabric of the tent. The table's shape maximizes the area available for patrons to examine the wares. Bright light is shed over the shop by a free standing, five-armed candelabra positioned between the table and the corner of the room.

Obvious exits: north, east.
