The shop is simple and easy to overlook, just a wooden stall with a sign overhanging that reads "Curios for the Curious." Jars, vials, and small pots clutter the surface of the shop, and behind the counter is a large shelf crammed full of scrolls, baubles, and statuary. A smell of incense pervades the area.
Mysterious shop, Bazaar
mysterious owner
figure
I am a shadowy figure lurking in the alleyway. I will steal coins from your purse when you aren't looking. I smell vaguely of cabbage.
What have we here? That is the Orb of Shateel-Dubra, a saint from the giant lands.  It is said that this was the last tear she shed before the Elven Knight Zenthubulas ordered the deaths of her family and the razing of her village. And this vial here is full of what? Something to make me become hole again? Now that is special!  That there contains the desiccated remains of the demon Bogrishabob the third!  They say if you grind it up and drink it with a hint of honey, your beard will grow three times in size!  Comes with a guaranteed certificate of authenticity, signed by yours truly. Is there anything you can do to bring me back to life? Well, I *am* a master spell-caster of some repute . . . lets see . . . minotaur's eyes, no, not powerful enough . . . unicorn horn?  No, that only works for snow-beasts!  What am I thinking? Hmmm . . . what species are you again sir? I am a ghost. I shadowy figure that lurks the alleyway because I am bound to it. Well yes, but what were you before man?  Orc?  Fae?  Elf?  Dwarf?  Cat-fok?  Lizard-kin?  If you happen to be too ancient to remember, I can make a guess, but the results might be, shall we say, unpredictable. I was a dwarf man. Ah!  Well then, a dash of gold, a hint of Harpy Feather, some Mastodon stool, a Hippogryh's talon, a Griffon's belly button lint, a dash of mercury - and a dab of magic, and voila!  The perfect de-ghosting formula for a dwarf! Are you sure that will do the job?  Oh, most certainly -  as long as you're not mistaken and happen to have become mixed up of the centuries and are actually an elf.  It will turn you into a pig-sheep hybrid.  I like to call them Peeps, but some prefer Shigs.
