Description
Tandelorn Buckwalter, call him Tandy, is a halfling who prefers to live with the human folk in The Commons (although his cousins in The Dell look down upon him, and consider him quite odd). He is married to a very lovely human girl, Roxanne, who stands only a head (not shoulders) taller than her husband. He is honest, hardworking, and easy to trade with, a totally atypical merchant for the area.
Exterior
Frame building, wooden-sided, with many windows. Two stories tall, the second story overhangs the alleys on the corner of which it stands by some 4’. A lettered (rather than pictorial) sign over the front door reads “Tandy, Leather Goods”.
Interior
The shop is well lit by the many windows of the first floor. Rolls of various grades of leather are stood in barrels dotted about the floor. Many items of leather (belts, scabbards, purses, collapsible camp buckets, etc.) adorn the western wall, while the halfling works away on assorted projects behind a low (3’ high) counter which approximately divides the shop. A flight of stairs can be seen in the rear.
Hours
Noon to 8:00pm.
Price Range
Fair.
Quality
Good to Excellent. Any items made personally by Tandy are of superb workmanship - he prides himself on perfection.
Cash Box
Located under the counter on a small shelf, it is easily visible from behind the counter. Usually contains 50 SP to 120 SP, but there is a 15% chance of a recent large sale, in which case it will contain 200 SP to 350 SP.
Staff
Tandy, and his children, two young sons and a daughter. The daughter, Springviolet (Spring), is the first-born, and is an exceptionally beautiful, very petite (4’3”, and slender) young lass of 16. She handles most of the sales and bargaining, and is quick-witted and very perceptive. The boys, Corriadoc (Corey) and Periwinkle (Wink), are 15 and 12, respectively, and are industriously learning the leather trade from the bottom up.
Customers
There will usually be [roll:1d8+2] customers in the shop. Tandy has a city-wide reputation, and those who can locate his shop prefer to purchase their leather goods there.
Loiterers
There are occasionally browsers among those in the shop, but most people who do make the trip become customers.
NPC Encounters
None particular, but it is possible to meet nearly anybody in the city at Tandy’s shop.
Outstanding Items
The leather backpacks made by Tandy are capable of holding 150% of normal weight. Tandy also does an incredibly detailed tooling job on the leather items he designs for women (purses, sandals, etc.), and has accidentally produced a purse design which includes an ancient rune of protection (anyone attacking the carrier of the purse, or attempting to Snatch it, must make a saving roll against DEX at a penalty of -3 or fall upon the ground). There is a 10% chance that any purse purchased will be the protected version.
