a small lopsided shack, [Map Room 16], Room# 8214516, Lich# L26877, go lopsided shack

Be Warez, Shop

[Be Warez, Shop - 8212403]
The lopsided shack appears to have been crafted out of broken-down crates and torn wool, its form threatening to topple with even the gentlest of winds. Resting within a splayed pile of straw is a small basket of wares nestled against a metal can with an open slit, the display being mindfully watched by a large greyish cat. You also see a hemp-looped wooden post.
Obvious exits: north, out

On the wooden post you see: a slightly ripped paper tag, a crescentic third eye jewel, a diminutive deck of vellum cards caged in hardened leather, a tiny catnip-stuffed potato, a tool-laden belt of metal gears, and an open-palmed leather casting glove.

a slightly ripped paper tag

In the Common language, it reads:
Newest Ones - Illusions and Spell Preps:

Jewel - Centered upon her/his forehead is a crescentic third eye jewel, the rutilated quartz engulfed in motes of starlight glistening across her/his ivory skin.
NAME closes her/his eyes, beginning her/his incantation as her/his voice gently coaxes her/his energies to complete her/his spell.  The iridescent motes of starlight begin to twinkle with each syllable, forming constellations against her/his (skin color) skin as her/his power grows in intensity.

Cards - Illuminated rings of hand-illustrated cards slowly revolve around NAME's form, each lacquered piece of the vellum deck rotating to unveil a gilt-haloed divination.
NAME closes her/his eyes, murmuring an incantation as the illuminated rings of cards begin to revolve in a blur of ink and vellum around her/his form.  She/He reaches out, grasping one of the cards as she/he raises it upward, channeling her/his energies as it pulsates in rhythm with her/his words.

Potato - A fur-filled clowder of cats surround NAME, the demanding felines meowing in various tones as they brush against her/his legs, occasionally attempting to nip at her/his feet.
NAME closes her/his eyes and begins an incantation.  Before she/he can complete his spell, one of her/his cats takes a flying leap onto her/his back, causing NAME to toss her/his catnip-stuffed potato to the ground, sending the cat back down its awkward perch as it accepts its bounty.

Gears - A tiny cog-fused automaton follows close to NAME's heels, plodding along the ground as it shakes its comically large fists into the sky.
NAME murmurs to herself/himself as she/he begins her/his spell, glancing down at her/his automaton.  The tiny construct imitates her/his movements, its eyes reflecting the same (eye color) as NAME's as it gestures, shaking its tiny fists to the sky.

Glove - One of her/his (eye color) eyes is encircled by a shifting ring of ethereal white flames, the undulating fire licking hungrily at the surrounding area.
As NAME begins her/his incantations, the ethereal white flames encircling her/his (eye color) eye begin to brighten as the fire lashes out, engulfing her/his visage as her/his leather casting glove bursts into flame!

In the small basket you see: a bite-ridden parchment note, a thread-tangled silver needle, a stone-scaled rectangular mirror, a long-chained chatelaine of semi-translucent glass petals, a miniature colorful wood dollhouse, and a knotted coil of hempen rope.

Be Warez, Backroom

[Be Warez, Backroom - 8212404]
The backroom of the shop is well-lit, the silk-draped walls a sharp contrast to the decrepit area to the south. An open dusty wooden chest sits upon a chaise of rich burgundy velvet, covered in bits of dried catnip and carcasses of gutted mouse-shaped toys. You also see a claw-marked wooden post.
Obvious exits: south

On the wooden post you see: a chain-caught cylinder of pallid chalk, an ivory-dotted red mushroom lapel pin, a leather-hung kelyn armillary sphere, a lariat necklace suspending a tiny perforated bronze censer, a twice-looped strand of onyx marble prayerbeads, a wool-looped aged gold bell shaped like a round rolton, and a catnip-stained tag.

a catnip-stained tag

In the Common language, it reads:
Returning Ones - Illusions and Spell Preps:

Prayerbeads - A blackened sigil has been branded into the flesh of his/her palm, the mark seeping tendrils of ebony smoke across a strand of prayerbeads wrapped around his/her wrist.
NAME chants, raising his/her onyx marble prayerbeads to his/her lips as he/she calls forth his/her invocation!

Lariat - Tendrils of curling perfumed smoke wander across his/her body, spilling forth through the perforated censer suspended from his/her lariat.
NAME's fingers traverse down the chain of his/her lariat, the perfumed tendrils of smoke constricting across his/her body, engulfing him/her.  NAME's voice utters a single command, causing the haze to dissipate as his/her silhouette emerges from the curtain.

Sphere - Celestial rings of gilt-colored mist rotate slowly across his/her body, the bands intersecting with a quartet of lunar spheres that pulsate in time with his/her kelyn armillary sphere.
NAME grasps his/her orb between his/her fingers, causing the gilt-colored rings to expand in a celestial sphere of fine mist.  He/She observes the stars and lunar forms, reaching out to trace a constellation as his/her fingertips illuminate.

Pin - Groups of variegated mushrooms haphazardly spring to life around his/her feet, releasing glimmering motes of spores into the air as he/she moves.
NAME taps the spotted cap of his/her mushroom pin, causing the fungi below him/her to float upwards, hovering above.  He begins to chant an incantation and the mushrooms vibrate in time, their spores dispersing into the air as they explode in a cloud of glittering motes.

Chalk - A candle-lit summoning circle of blackened ichor encircles the floor beneath him/her, the liquid dripping downwards from his/her cylinder of chalk.
NAME traces the edges of his/her cylinder of chalk, his/her voice issuing a command as the ichor encircling him/her begins to crawl towards his/her body, seeping into his/her skin.  As the last drop returns, his/her eyes are engulfed in a haze of black, pulsating as the candles below burst into a sickly green flame.

Bell - A tiny fluffy rolton continually attempts to butt into NAME's legs, bleating in frustration as it attempts to establish dominance.  It runs in tightly packed circles around him/her, stopping to gaze up at him/her through rounded eyes before continuing its assault.
NAME lets out a sharp command as he/she places a hand across the aged gold bell, causing the rambunctious rolton to come to a halt.
For a heartbeat, they stare at one another as the rolton's eyes begin to glow and it issues a diminutive "Baaaaaaah."

In the dusty wooden chest you see: a pair of honeycomb-patterned wool gardening gloves, a brass-framed pale jadewood compass, a suede-backed measuring cord of rose-painted silk, a leather-affixed pauldron draped over layered animal pelts, a bronze-banded hunting horn of scrimshawed ivory, and a hastily scrawled note.

Returning Ones in Basket:

Pauldron - Bloodstained ropes of waxed hemp constrict his/her upper body, the tightly knotted harness attached to his/her leather-affixed pauldron.  Perched upon each shoulder is an obsidian-feathered raven, the avians eyeing the area curiously as they peck at the braided strands.

Horn - A pack of short-haired hunting hounds follow closely behind NAME's heels, inspecting the ground and surrounding area as they gaze up at their Master/Mistress.

Cord - Swatches of fabric and vials of vibrant colored dye float haphazardly around his/her form, bouncing off his/her measuring cord before comically righting themselves.

Compass - A collection of vellum scrolls float within NAME's reach, each unfurling to reveal an illuminated nautical map as he/she points at them in turn.  His/Her pale jadewood compass rises to rest against the chosen map, adjusting its position as he/she decides his course.

Gloves - A tiny swarm of plump saffron bumblebees buzz to and fro around NAME, the black-striped insects occasionally resting upon his/her gloves, tipping their bodies upside down as they inspect the honeycomb patterns.
