Blacksmith and Saddler
Description
Folonar Fairweather and Gibbon Garrazano.
Exterior
This 60’ square wooden structure has two immense sliding doors which are opened during business hours. A sign depicting a rearing white horse hangs from a brass post in front of the building. There is a second story half the size of the ground level. There are circular windows on all sides and a large skylight.
Interior
Lower story: The forge is in operation throughout the day. It is located in a rectangular depression dug into the earthen floor. Thick, evenly spaced, pillars support the roof and second story.
Upper story: is indicated by a large brass arrow pointing up the stairwell. A variety of flowering plants adorn window sills and walls of this single room. The flooring is made of richly patterned ceramic tiles, and there is a large bust of a warrior on a shield in one corner of the room. Either Folonar or his apprentice will respond to the ringing of the bell on the customer service counter.
Hours
8:00am to 6:00pm (though work is often performed after these hours).
Price Range
Expensive.
Quality
Good.
Cash Box
Daily receipts and 1d4 x 1d100gp are kept in a drawer beneath the counter upstairs. Folonar takes the receipts home each night.
Staff
Gibbon Garrazano, the blacksmith, is a tough and darkly bearded dwarf who swings his nine pound hammer like a child’s toy. He often works effortlessly for 10 to 12 hours a day, without rest breaks. Gibbon is a gentle type and enjoys wandering through the fields outside the Shield Gate during non-working days. He relies on Folonar for guidance and will almost always (95%) accede to the latter’s wishes in business or personal matters.
Folonar Fairweather, a leatherworker, is half-elven, and a smooth talker. He always tries to convince his customer’s to purchase more equipment, or a more elaborate version of whatever they want. He is successful 40% of the time. (When dealing with a player character Folonar’s sales pitch is sweetened by his claim concerning magically enchanted harnesses and reins which increase horse speed and rider’s control over his steed.) If any customer comes back and complains about the non-enchanted pieces (at such competitively low prices, enchantment is not profitable), Folonar will deny that he made any claims of that sort.
Qaften, an apprentice leatherworker of great skill, is a horrible salesman. He is easily bullied by customers and often forgets the prices of the goods (his are usually 10% to 60% lower than normal). Folonar tries to keep Qaften from the front desk, but there is a 10% chance that Qaften will be alone in the shop.
