A Twist of Briars, Betrayed

[A Twist of Briars, Betrayed - 8212772]
Lifelike vines painted along the walls seem to writhe in an artistic display of optical illusion, their sinuous, briar-laden shapes twisting about a series of blued steel racks hanging above a dusty mahogany counter. In one dusty corner, a vine-wrapped cherrywood box has been shoved under a scratched ebonwood shelf, a wild rose bush fighting to escape its terracotta confines sitting next to it. Several actual vines creep in from cracks in the ceiling and dangle overhead in an almost menacing array of verdure. You also see a large crimson-stained sign.
Obvious exits: west, out

a large crimson-stained sign
In the Common language, it reads:
Ready to be betrayed?  I'se gots it on gud autho...aut...words that these wepunz has briars inside.  Iffn deys not work...try teh certifi...papers in teh box.

On the ebonwood shelf you see: an ebon and azuline rolaren dhara with an acid-etched shaft, a rowan-handled ash grey fang inlaid with copper swirls, an ice blue reaver tinged with incarnadine flames, a damascened vultite katana with iris agate inlay, and a blued steel claidhmore acid-etched with vining brambles.

A Twist of Briars, Thorned

[A Twist of Briars, Thorned - 8212773]
Myriad painted vines along the walls are covered by actual rose vines that wend their way through chinks in the ceiling to writhe across the interior, dripping lush, overpoweringly scented roses and covered in vicious thorns. A makeshift arch pushes the voracious verdancy away from a battered and scratched wardrobe and a widowwood-set cabinet, but a rose-painted birch shelf is thronged by a persistent cluster that rains rose petals into a crimson-stained box below. A few enterprising offshoots are making their way across the floor in a vegetative attempt at dominance. You also see a stained piece of parchment.
Obvious exits: east
