Entry

[Steel Stash, Entry]
Tall sturdy posts raise the ceiling high above the tallest giantman while wide stretches of canvas make up the walls of this tent.

Workshop

[Steel Stash, Workshop]
Multi-colored bins occupy an entire corner of this backroom, each container filled to the brim with various wooden handles and weapon adornments. A small wooden table rests in the middle of the room, its surface covered with metal shavings and old paint stains. A gnarled oak stand holds a number of questionable refreshments.

Tome Alone

a large ink-splattered wagon, Lich #225, go wagon

Entry

[Tome Alone]
Octagonal lanterns hang from the tanik beams of the roof, illuminating the interior of the wagon. Ink stains almost every surface imaginable, creating a colorful assortment of drips, drops, splatters, and in some places, doodles. An ink-stained modwir desk, bolted to the floor, shows an assortment of books on its flat surface. Mounted on the wall is a hammered mithril and ora bin, proudly displaying a number of tubes and cylinders.
Obvious exits: out
Greetings and salutations!  Here is a bit of information on my wares.
The scrolls are produced by poorly skilled apprentices.  THEY WILL NOT BE INFUSABLE BY A SORCERER.  I REPEAT, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INFUSE THEM.
The tubes, cylinders, and cases will only hold scrolls, parchments, papers, vellums, sheets, pages, palimpsests, and the like.  Things you can roll up, not books.
The volumes on the desk are for writing down alchemical recipes.  They come with a single recipe already inscribed.

Backroom

Must be able to cast Phase (704) at door.

[Tome Alone, Backroom]
A pair of flickering lanterns hangs from the beams of the roof. Compared to the front room of the wagon, this small work space is incredibly clean and devoid of ink stains. A threadbare red rug covers the floor.
