Protection with Strength
Description
Konig - is an embittered man, seeking to wreak vengeance on the cause of his unhappiness. He and Valli, the armorer located just up Ard Street and his former friend, wooed the same dwarven woman, who finally chose Valli. Konig is certain that Valli used some trickery or enchantment to secure Soranal’s love, and has sworn to drive his now enemy to bankruptcy, and has drastically lowered his prices and hired large numbers of additional help to do so. With so many new employees, Konig’s usual level of quality has fallen somewhat, but has not decreased so fast as his prices. Konig also has a shop in the Arcade and the proceeds from that enterprise help him to continue this brutal price-cutting war.
Exterior
A large square building of stone. In the front, their feet set into stone bases, are three suits of finely honed armor of chain-mail, scale, and plate. The great helm accompanying the set of plate armor is decorated with a large pair of wings. A set of double doors lead inward, and are wide open during business hours. Currently, there are always 2-4 assistants walking the street in front of the shop, talking up the great sale prices available within, and emphasizing Konig’s reputation for craftsmanship.
Interior
Within, all is a flurry of activity. In the main room, several more suits of armor are on display, and Konig’s assistants are busily fitting customers. In the back, a curtain divides the showroom from the work area, and the sounds of hammering, buffing, and welding echo through the shop from the rear.

Konig and four assistants, journeymen armorers who are glad for the opportunity to work with him.
Customers
The news of Konig’s campaign has begun to spread through the city, and the crowds at his shop are increasing by the day. The process of attracting a free sales clerk during the heaviest hours of traffic (from 11:00am - 1:00pm, or 4:00pm - 6:00pm) can become quite hectic, and one or two fistfights have occurred on the sales floor.
Outstanding Items
Konig specializes in making armor of great strength. For a cost of 3x his normal rates, he can make a suit of chain armor that absorbs 4 hits of damage per successful blow (instead of the usual 2 hits), or plate armor that absorbs 6 hits per blow. These special items are not in Konig’s current price war.
