Travica Way Shops

Rithil’s Protectives
Bhujerban Sainikah: Haa… The Imperials were here looking for someone a short while ago, but there are so few customers, they left quite quickly, bhadra.
City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler! This is a shop of armors! It is not a bad shop, but the master is a poor salesman. Ayi! Please forget what I have said, yes?
Bhujerban (tan seeq browsing on upper level): Mmrph? Look, don’t tell anyone I said this, but Rithil’s just got me in here to improve his image, see? This place’s dead. There’s not life in it.
Shop Clerk: Svagatam… (yawn)
Rithil: Svagatam… welcome… Armor, not arms, is what we sell. Battle takes more than just a blade… [shop menu]
Targe’s Arms
City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler. Welcome to the best armory in Bhujerba. Should you be venturing beyond the city walls, or into the mines, stop here first!
Lhusu Miner (man in turban and blue shorts browsing): The mines were open from today, but now a party from the Empire’s here for an inspection, work has stopped again. Unbelievable! I come here all the way from Nalbina to make some gil, and this happens! I gotta find something else to do…
Lhusu Parivir (blue seeq): Not every ailment is made alike, my friend. In fact, some there are made exactly opposite! Take the magick “slow,” for instance. Know someone slow? Slap “haste” on them and away it goes! Why, even the most pernicious afflictions sometimes have the simplest solutions!
Lhusu Miner (man in turban and brown shorts checking out sword): Perhaps it is that magicite itself draws raksas to it. Many foul creatures there are in the mines of late. We must protect ourselves, bhadra.
Bhujerban (woman standing next to man in chair): Today the mines are closed, so I need not make lunch for my man, you see. It is not a bad thing, to have days like this every now and then.
Lhusu Parivir (black bangaa in line at counter): The quickest way to victory? Know your enemy’s weakness! And how do you find a weakness? Use Libra! And remember, you heard it here first.
Lhusu Miner (man standing in line at counter): Quite a crowd here, yes, bhadra? This is the best weaponry Bhujerba has to offer! Always there is a queue.
Shop Clerk: Welcome! Welcome! Targe’s Arms is here to serve your every need… as long as your every need is weapons!
Targe: Svagatam! Welcome to Targe’s Arms! [shop menu]
Lhusu Miner (man in turban and blue shorts browsing on upper level): Guns… yes, guns have good range, and bullets pierce armor as though ‘twere paper, but against some raksas, they are useless. Flans, for instance.
Bhujerban Sainikah: Raksas roam the Lhusu Mines, hunting the unwary. To protect themselves against these creatures of all description, the miners must be armed, you see. The mining of magicite is of great importance to Bhujerba. It behooves us all to see that the miners are working safely.
Bhujerban (woman in white, yellow, and green browsing on upper level): Haa… I wonder if there is a weapon that I, too, might use? Kah? Why do I need a weapon? Have you seen my husband?
Mait’s Magicks
City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler. Welcome to this fine shop of quality magicks, newly opened. Here shall you find all you need to prepare for your journeys.
Bhujerban Sainikah: I am a rakis guard of the watch, stationed here. Of late, I, too, desire to study magicks. I promise, it is not out of desire for the staff here, no!
Shop Clerk (woman in blue, pink and red): Welcome to Mait’s. We are new to this, but every day we learn more and more of our trade. I beg your continued patronage, bhadra. (wink)
Bhujerban (man bent over inspecting shelves): Hanta… So many difficult books here. Can one such as me truly learn magick? I think no.
Shop Clerk (woman in pink and blue with headscarf): Good day. Feel free to browse our selection of magicks. We’ve many magicks sure to be helpful to a traveler such as yourself, bhadra!
Mait: Welcome to Mait’s Magicks, newly opened! Remember: we are here to serve you! [shop menu]
Shop Clerk (woman in blue, pink, and green on upper level): The magicite taken from Lhusu Mines is known for its quality. Indeed, many of our magicks here are worked with local stones… Yet of late, it seems that the quality is not what it used to be.
Bhujerban (man in turban and blue shorts browsing on upper level): Until a short while ago, this shop was, in fact, a tavern, you see. Hungry, I came here to find that now it sells magicks, not food. Haa… but they used to serve the most delicious stews, bhadra…

Bhujerban Guru: Marquis Ondore keeps a wary distance from the Empire, bhadra. Our relations with Archades are cordial, for now, though I fear for the future…
