**A long and narrow space tucked into an alley in the Old City, the Teach den Doiléir is as much a museum of the bizarre and unusual as it is a pawnshop. Lining the walls are innumerable items on shelves and stands, some of them as mundane as a haphazard pile of iron daggers, others as rare as a shrunken garr's head or a dragon's heart preserved in transparent crystal.
Should a customer ring the bell on the counter at the back, eventually a tall man in a tailored three piece suit will step out, his black-mustachioed face oozing disdain. This is Mr. Reynard. He will assess the value of any item shown to him, and will grudgingly set prices on most of the items of his shop, though he does not take kindly to bargaining.**

Aegis Staff - A staff made of gnarled but polished oak, stripped clean of bark and about six feet long. At the top, ensnared in branches, is a smooth black crystal sphere pulsing with red energy. Fires powerful blasts of firey energy, which can erupt as a beam or be concentrated into a blade of fire from the crystal. Aegis set. (350 Gold)
The Club of Hercules - A massive oak club, the head covered in protruding nails rudely hammered in. Has the equivalent of a double-strength agate imbue. (350 Gold)
The Mirror of New Beginnings - A full-length silver mirror, polished to a high sheen and framed in what seems to be liquid gold. Once ever, a person may look into the mirror for a while, concentrating on everything about themselves that they hate. Finally, the mirror will begin to shine, and they may step through it. When they emerge, all of their spells, items, and skills will have been prismed to the opposite art, permanently, and the mirror will shatter behind them. (1000 Gold)
The Subtlest Cut - A shortsword, shockingly thin to the point of looking like a needle but unbreakable, with a handle made from bone. Powers unknown, but associated with Jadis. (250 Gold)
Cult Icon of Eris - A small jade figurine of the Greevan trickster god, so lifelike that it seems to dance before your eyes. Powers unknown. (200 Gold)
Traveler's Cloak - A midnight blue hooded cloak made of thick, dense wool. Impervious to wind and rain, and also to Water-based magic. Also allows the wearer to blend into the shadows undetectably, even deeper than a shroud spell. (200 Gold)
Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
**Reynard nodded slowly, looking Binxy up and down appreciatively, if in a somewhat cruel way. Then he smiled, and it was worse.**
Reynard - "Yes, I do believe we have one of those."
**With a few quick strides he breezed past the party--no small feat in such a narrow space--and knelt down almost to the ground, squatting off the ground in front of a wooden box about the size of a large dog. Dragging it to face Binxy, he flipped the box open. As he flipped it open, all could feel the mood of the room change; the world became brighter, a little sweeter... but in a way that reminded them of their most wistful moment of the past, and most of all, how much they wanted to go back to that instant.
Inside the heavily padded box, they could see a shriveled, blackened stump of flesh and bone, clearly that of a bird, but much larger. With a snap, Reynard slammed it shut.**
Reynard - "As you may understand, not many people ask me about that one."

Reynard - "It was imbued, but with the harpy's own heart; I acquired this from the estate of a very... particular sort of collector. They are truly fascinating creatures."

Reynard - "Stuffed? I don't suppose so... but I have never heard of anyone foolish enough to do such a thing, anyway. Setting aside that they are hideous to behold, their hides make excellent armor."

**Yack had spent this time, when not looking at the foot, quietly looking over the sheet describing harpies to see if it is missing anything of particular import. Like how harpy children work.**
**There was nothing there he hadn't already read.**
