Magefaire 1354 Cluster L

From the Wyrmhoard (L1)

Auctioneer

• A garishly wrought tent in green and black, sewn with sequins and patterns of metallic thread that make it look like it is covered in scales. A pair of magically animated wings stretch and retract over the tent and its neighbors, and a magically animated dragon's head looks down on those walking past the street below.
• Inside, the tent has been treated with heavy doses of illusion magic, making it look like the interior is a cavern (the overall effect is sadly rather tacky). Hung from plaques on the walls are the items up for auction, with a small inked sign beneath it displaying the current highest bid for the item. The tent has a half-dozen very tiny dragons (pseudo-dragons) who prowl around it.
• Auctions: Ridrophin runs his silent auctions all throughout the Faire, with bidders updating their bids with Panni.
• Items: Ridrophin claims all the items are from dragons' hoards, but that's patently untrue. They are all the goods gained by adventurers out of old ruins and monster lairs, though.
  • A wand of winter, capable of unleashing magics of cold and frost. (Rare • 6500 gp Starting Bid • 100 gp per bid)
  • A warhammer of the warpriest, which aids the Called in channeling the power of their deity, functions as a holy symbol of the wielder's god, and sheds holy light. (Very Rare • 50,000 gp Starting Bid • 500 gp per bid)
  • A pair of boots of the winterlands, to protect the wearer from cold and keep him surefooted on the slipperiest of ice. (Uncommon • 600 gp Starting Bid • 50gp per bid)
  • A fine cloak of displacement, to make the wearer seem to be someplace he is not. (Rare • 4000 gp Starting Bid • 100 gp per bid)
  • A wand of lightning bolts, that unleashes torrents of levin on the wielder's foes. (Rare • 5000 gp Starting Bid • 100 gp per bid)
  • A magical shortbow of elven make, which is called Warharp. (Uncommon • 650 gp Starting Bid • 50gp per bid)

Secrets of Sigil & Beyond (L2)

Spell Monographs

• A tall tent of brilliant gold, crimson, and white cloth that smells of a summer field when approached. Its entryway is a clockwork mechanism, all spinning parts and shifting cogs that make a pleasant chiming sound every six-and-one-half minutes, through which one has to step to get inside. Above the pointed top of the tent is the illusion of a torus shape, a round tire-like, smooth-edged, rotating circle, on the interior of which is a city of small buildings and streets.
• There is always a crowd around the entrance, and people coming in and out, shaking their heads in wonder, discussing what they've seen within.
• Passing through the gate, one enters a shop, rather than a tent. There are windows that look out onto a strange, bustling city, in which djinns, demons, angels, and all manner of creatures bustle about to and fro. The door of the shop is sealed with a sign that says "CLOSED FOR DURATION OF MAGEFAIRE" preventing visitors from getting out onto the street proper.
• The shop is a strange sort of scriptorum, with modrons of several shapes and sizes bustling about and working. Visitors are greeted by a perfectly spherical modron who acts as guide, using an oddly-slanged form of Common in doing so.
• The proprietress seems to be a half-elven wizard named Sethimdenia the Traveler. One half of her head is shaven bald and tattooed with swirling glyphs and sigils, and her eyes are completely black.
• Spell Monographs: Secrets of Sigil & Beyond bind their monographs in crimson-dyed scrapstitch leather, with gold ribbon ties and the name of the shop and the spell it contains burnt into the cover.

Havelan & Mardunn (L5)

Auctioneer

• This tent is a simple pavilion with a back and side "walls," but open to the path in front of it. The pavilion is a fine deep blue, with shiny silver brads and other gewgaws intended to draw the eye. A tastefully painted sign out front of it displays this as "Havelan & Mardunn, Discreet Auctions"
