I'd love to give a nod to the original Trader of ShadowGlade. The idea here is that there will be a ton e of items the players might be able to use that are not part of the normal store inventories. Things that are more common to a General Store: paint brushes, a crucible, tongs, oil, dye, small amounts if various components. The first Trader was actually Glandryth in disguise and he operated out of a very cool wagon my parents owned. The wagon is long gone and who knows what we can or cannot do with Glandryth anymore but still I'd love to have something there if we can think of it.
The other conflict is that the term "Trader" now belongs to Albie as the guy who buys woodland treasures. I guess we could call the General Store role "The Peddler" or something similar if we cannot work out so way to refer to the original Trader.
The things the Trader will need to sell:
Plot Part | Item(s) |
Painting the Animus symbols | Paint Brushes, Jar(s) for Paint, Rags |
Melting Dwarf Metal | Crucible or small pot, Tongs, Charcoal, Hibachi, heat-resistant glove |
Red cabbage experiment | Flour, baking soda, .... I'll make a list but basically a whole lot of different acids & bases |
Oil Bubble experiment | Oil, food coloring, glass bowl |
Other things that would be great to include would be costume accessories, cool pens & pencils, parchment, candles, drinking vessels, etc.
