The General store is painted a bright turquoise color, and is identified by the depiction of wheat crop that is carved into a wooden sign hanging from the store's front. There is a patio with a wooden roof hanging over head, and an arched wooden door that leads into the General store.

I am a local who has lived in the village my whole life. I know everyone that lives in the area. I enjoy striking up conversations with people.
I've got my eye on you criminal, you'd best not be looking to steal wares from our lovely, local general store! You've got me all wrong!  I'm not trying to steal anything, good sir.  I'm only worried for my life, you see.  I was falsely accused and am going to die for something I did not do.  Will you have pity on me and help me escape? Harumph! I've known you long enough to know your ways, you stole milk from my family just last month! What is it you're running from now vagrant? I'll admit, I did steal your milk.  My wife who is 6 months pregnant with child was hungry.  I could see in her gaunt face that she needed some sustenance. Now though, I have been accused of stealing horses from the local stable.  I am innocent of this crime! I just want to see my baby born and try to lead a better life from now on.  If only I had the chance!  I can certainly understand the desire to care for your family but theft is not the way. Several farmers in the area are looking for hands to tend to their fields, the king's army has been recruiting for city protection, and even this lovely general store had a posting last week for a clerk position. If given the chance, I will change my life around and accept a more appropriate way of getting money for my family.  You see, this is the way I was raised and all I've ever known.  My Father left my Mother and I when I was just a young lad.  Mother had to steal food to feed us and walked the streets at night. I've been a petty criminal for as long as I can remember but now with a young one on the way, I want to change.  And how do you plan to change friend?! What steps are you taking other than seeking out help to run from the law? I mustn't carry on any further with this charade. I will begin with being honest with you. I did indeed steal the horses from the local stable but it was the stable master who was planning to kidnap and poison the King, not I.  I was only caught with his pouch of poison and note demanding payment!  In that case you need to turn yourself over and state your case. Do you expect to live your life on the run with your wife and, soon, your baby?! I will never turn myself in.  I will surely die by hanging if I do.  I must now find a horse and gather enough food for a few days ride. I will escape this horror. I won't have you running about in this or any other village criminal! I'll drag you to the king myself if you won't proceed willingly. You forget, I am the criminal here!  I eat men like you for breakfast! Fight me if you must, it will be the last thing you do.
