The Laughing Crow
Curio Shop
The Laughing Crow is an eclectic hidden gem on the outskirts of the village. The proprietor is a half-mad, but vibrant, old crone named Nadezhda. Once you get past the cringy and energetic welcome, the Laughing Crow actually has some legitimately good artifacts, magical gear, and information for sale. The shop itself looks like an old cottage, nestled away between the larger buildings around it. If you didn't know to look for it, you wouldn't know it was there.
"Late, late, late! You are late for tea, my new friends, the best tea in the entire steppe! Come, sit!"

Information

Sell an artifact
"That is a fine magical trinket you have there... I would be willing to pay you 50% of market value for it (round down)."
Trade an artifact
"Hmm… I would be willing to offer two items from my shop in exchange for that artifact. That’s my best offer.”
Recharge Artifact
“Shhh, put that thing away, love. Yes, I can recharge your trinket for 100 gold coins per charge. But, only if you keep it a secret. My neighbors are superstitious about magic and are easily... excitable.”
Transmute Potion
“Don’t tell that frigid old shoe leather over at Gauward’s Magical Tinctures, but yes I can transmute potions. It will cost 400 gold coins and an existing potion to make the attempt. There are no refunds if the attempt fails. If you bring me the transmutation stone, I’ll do it for half price.”
- Attempt to turn one potion into another (your choice).
Create Magic Scroll
“Yes, I can scribe that spell for you for 300 gold coins. If you bring me the arcane parchment, I’ll do it for half price.”
Valuables
Of all of the shiney things Nadezhda tries to sell you, she very deliberately ignores a glass case in a poorly lit corner. Upon closer inspection, you will find the following artifacts...
- Frostdunes Grimoire
- Frostdunes Suede Shoes
- Frostdunes Cloak
Architecture
The Laughing Crow appears as a two story timber and brick building. At a casual glance the entire interior appears to be one big cluttered room, with a gorgeous mosaic tile floor.
