Place: The Treasure Hunter's Pawnshop

Placed near the brothels and the Temple of Sircarius, this is the destination of all great treasure hunters and adventurers in need a little cash after their last foray out into the wilderness. The building is small, maybe twenty by twenty feet, but big enough for the proprietor, Temple Shortstalking, to show his newest and ever changing wares. Temple is a rare kind, being half human/half dwarf. He's the size of dwarf, but has the lithe build of a human. He keeps a fairly short beard, but his hair of black he keeps braided long like many dwarves tend to do.

The building itself is made of wood, with a few windows which are bared on the outside, (Temple has had a few robberies so he is slightly paranoid about his stuff), two rooms inside, and a heavy outer door reinforced by magic. There is one large room for holding all the items he buys and then resales and a small office which is locked at all times and has magic wards upon it so only he (or someone who knows the password) can get in. This is where he keeps his money as well as any magic items or special items he doesn't want to put out on the floor.

Temple will take most anything, but pays only about 20% of the actual value, then sales them for around 80% of value. This makes him very unpopular in some circles, but there are few pawn shops which will take everything that Temple will. Because he is not particular about what he buys, there is a 10% chance that magic items may not work, may not have all the charges he says, or may not even be what he says they are.

Temple has hired a pair of large, burly ex-mercenaries who take turns watching him and his shop. He has one with him at all times for he fears for his life. Mostly such fear is made up, since few really want to do him harm, but there are few customers who feel jipped by Temple and would like revenge upon him.

You can use this place after your players have had a good haul to sell stuff if they haven't made it good with the other pawnshops. The players can earn his trust over time to increase how much he pays them, but it will take time. Most anything can be found here, including rare spell components, but there is a good chance that they may or may not be what they are actually looking for or that they may not even work. Buyer beware.
