Professional eye care and adjustment
Description
Nima J. Neb, and his quiet wife Nosi. Both are opticians-extraordinaire, but they tend to use archaic methods of eye adjustment (it is rumored that they once electrocuted a blind man to restore his sight). Both of them wear their own product.
Exterior
A two story white building with a large sign by the front door that contains simply a large letter “E”.
Interior
Directly inside the entrance there is a small room with a receptionist’s desk manned by Nosi. Beyond this room are several offices, examination rooms, and shops for making precision spectacles. The front room is clean, as well as the examination areas, but the shop rooms are very messy and littered with strange tools, files, machinery, and glass dust.
Hours
11:00am to 3:00pm.
Price Range
Fair/Outrageous. When a customer inquiries the price of the spectacles Nima tells him, “20gp.” If the customer doesn’t flinch, Nima continues, “for the frames. The lenses are 25gp.” If the customer still doesn’t flinch, Nima finishes, “each.” An alternate pricing method involves an eye test chart with prices instead of letters (the prices get higher as the print gets smaller). The smallest line the customer can read is the cost of the spectacles - ranging from 5gp to 120gp.
Quality
Poor to Superb (GM’s discretion, based on Nima’s current hangover).
Cash Box
A wooden box, in a desk drawer with Complexity 2 lock, holds 2d6 x 2d5gp in assorted coins. The key to the drawer is kept in Nosi’s sash.
Staff
Just Nima and Nosi. When not in the shop, they are frequently out on the town getting sloshed.
Customers
Few and far between, and there is seldom repeat business.
Loiterers
There is one tiefling who frequently peers - Peering Tiefling - in through the front window, squinting as if he has trouble seeing.
Outstanding Items
The procedure for eye adjustment takes several steps. After the extent of the problem is ascertained, the physical correction of the eyes is attempted (if the problem is not severe, a sample pair of spectacles is sold to the patient). When the eyes require great adjustment, customized spectacles are ground (3d3 weeks). If extensive damage must be repaired, an operation will be suggested (remember the electrocuted blind man?).
Special Options
Occasionally (10%) Nima succeeds in creating a pair of spectacles with the effect of a Far Vision spell. These increase the wearer’s acuity of vision by 100% to 400% (2d4 x 50%).
