[Turpin's Merchant Supplies] Room: 734100
There is a sense of coordinated bedlam to this office. Papers, faded ledger books, bills of lading, and ominous-looking legal documents are scattered about on Turpin's desk in such a way that there is a discernible pattern. However, it's not a pattern that follows any normal logic. Ceramic, turtle-shaped oil lamps provide a cheerful glow to the office. You also see Turpin the shopkeeper.

Stacked around the room are samples of various building materials in a variety of colors. Although it's obvious an attempt has been made to keep the room neat and tidy, a fine layer of dust from the building materials covers the floor. Along the walls, the tiny footprints of a mouse can be seen in the dust. You also see a large parchment sign.
