NAME

Merchant

Summary

A salesman looking to boost the economy.

Lore 

The lantern hangs dimly from the trader's wagon.

Although not refined, he makes a profit.

He knocks on the Mayor's door.

"Hello, chap! Would you be interested in my catalog of items? The most recent silk and fabric made straight in China!"

The mayor rifles through the monstrosity of a clothing pile.

After hesitance, he picks one.

"This one will do."

He pulls the rugged vest off of the wagon.

"Thank you sir, that will be a quarter and a dime."

The mayor leaves the loose coins on the counter of the wagon, and makes his way inside.

The merchant smiles. He dims the lights from the lanterns, and heads home.

At home, he sneaks off into the forests of his backyard.

A raspy voice looks at him with one eye, the other horribly scarred.

"Yesss... I have what you need."

The merchant gladly accepts the bevrages. He drinks one to make sure they're authentic.

Seconds later, he dies from poison.
