Crossroads Outfitter

Here's another establishment.

4. Crossroads Outfitter

Second only to the tavern and inn as a center of local business is this general store. It is run by an aasimar named Ella Song, a woman with the blood of the azata running through her veins. She is a benevolent soul, and treats the locals fairly; for this reason, she is highly respected by the general populace. It also makes her a rival of the Royal Interplanetary Company, who control the warehouse but aren't able to cut in on her mercantile business.

The Outfitter

The shop is a single-story structure with a flat roof. Out from hangs a simple sign bearing the word Outfitter. Ella Song keeps it open from the start of the forenoon watch to the end of the second dog watch (8:00 am to 8:00 pm).

1. Shoproom

The walls of this broad room are lined with shelves, and more standing shelves fill most of the floor. They are filled with all manner of goods including foodstuffs, equipment and other supplies. There's also a waist-high table at which Song conducts business.

2. Office

The table and chair here are used for keeping the ledgers and other such activities. There is a hidden panel in the floor (DC 20 Perception check to locate), beneath which Song's cashbox is concealed. Someone with the key, or who can make a DC 20 Disable Device check, can find 1000 gp, 200 sp and 50 cp inside it.

3. Storeroom

Any goods beyond the ones on display are kept in this room.

4. Kitchen

This is where Song and Mako spend much of their down time and take their meals when not over at the tavern. There is a table and chairs, a small stove for preparing meals, and other such expected features.

5. Song's Quarters

A comfortable bed stands against the wall opposite the door, flanked by a desk and chair and a large wardrobe. The wardrobe contains the aasimar's extra clothing, along with a lockbox which holds those valuables she doesn't carry on her person: an elixir of love.

6. Mako's Quarters

The bed in this room is big and not well made. There is also a writing desk that sees little use. Beneath the bed is a storage locker that holds 100 gp in mixed coins.
