The Provisioner's Pack
The Provisioner's Pack looms before you, a vast, warehouse-like structure with a weathered sign that simply states "We Have It." As you enter, you're greeted by long aisles stacked high with every conceivable item a traveler or resident might need.
To your right, a mop moves on its own, cleaning the floor with meticulous care. On your left, items seem to float onto shelves, arranging themselves in perfect order.
At the end of the central aisle stands a counter, behind which hunches Ebeneezer Grouse, a man who looks as old and weathered as his establishment. His rheumy eyes fix upon you as you approach.
"Need something?" he grunts, the words seeming to cause him physical pain. When you start to ask about prices, he wordlessly points to a large board behind him where every item and its cost is listed in painstaking detail.
As you browse, marveling at the sheer variety of goods - from mundane soap to exotic spices, from sturdy ladders to delicate clockwork mechanisms - a cheerful voice cuts through the somber atmosphere. "Welcome to The Provisioner's Pack! I'm Daisy. Can I help you find anything?"
Daisy Grouse is the antithesis of her father - young, bright-eyed, and infectiously cheerful. She happily guides you through the aisles, explaining the utility of various items and sharing amusing anecdotes about some of the more unusual requests they've received.
"Oh, don't mind Papa," she says, noticing your glance towards the scowling Ebeneezer. "He's got a heart of gold... it's just buried under several layers of grump. But he's fair, and you'll never find better prices in all of Erckido!"
