event Merchant's Shack · Events (all zones)

Behind a rickety wooden counter sits a hooded figure, motionless... until a voice rasps: "A fool's errand, wandering the Witch Woods unarmed... But perhaps fate favors you tonight. Come, browse my humble wares. If you've got a gem or two, or something... tasty, I might even cut you a deal." Do you wish to trade? Choices: ??
