The Stor

Owned and operated by a family of nine goblins all named JakJak, The Stor is part pawn shop, part tourist stop. A seemingly endless variety of trinkets can be found in its haphazard shelves and pots. A large sign behind the counter reading “NO CASTIN” in bold red paint makes JakJak’s stance on using magic within the store clear.

Purpose / Function

JakJak's was, for a time, the only real general store in the town, and people would come to barter for anything from boots to bedsheets from its excitable owners. Its stock varies wildly from day-to-day, especially now the adventurers seeking The Door in the Deep have started flooding the town.

Architecture

A ramshackle construction of native sandstone in Khyber's Bounty's central plaza, The Stor seems at all times like it's leaning slightly to the west, ready to topple at the first sign of disturbance. A stone set into the ground on the road in front of it displays its name, roughly painted in red, and still missing the 'e' despite many attempts to inform its owners of the spelling error.
Inside, the openness of the design is completely foiled by great piles of items of all shapes and sizes, loosely organized by type. Large ceramic jars of weaponry compete with haphazard stacks of paper, linens, and leathers, and the smell of polishing wax and must mingles with the kinds of scents one might expect from nine goblins living in close quarters; not altogether repugnant, but undeniably unique. A stone counter rests at the back of the store, with a small space to do business sandwiched by additional piles of smaller items. A cramped stairwell descends into darkness behind the counter.
