There is no ordinary way to reach this shop, nor a way to return without stumbling upon it again by chance. Such is the way of things.
The mysterious inn turns out to be… quite brightly lit and, frankly, not very ominous at all. The walls have been painted white, the counters and numerous item-lined shelves are a pinkish marble, and the door marked “Billiards” to the far left is a deep blue. The stairs leading up to the rooms, same side as the pool, are also bluish in color. The door on the other side, marked “PAWN”, is a gaudy orange. The front of the counter is no color at all, the clear glass that showcasing the various foodstuffs, libations, and other consumables the owner will happily stuff down your gullet in exchange for gold.
An older man happily waits behind the counter for anything you might wish to ask about. He greets you, of course, a friendly “Hello! Here to buy something? Collect tax money? Tax collectors can go home, I already paid.”
All in-gold purchases limited to one per section per customer per visit.

Pawning! Go through the door, play a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors with the big man. You win? 150% Pawn! You lose? 25% Pawn! You tie? Normal (75%) Pawn!
**The old tenses with giddy excitement at the mention of gold. The excitement spreads to his voice as well, the man's words rushing past as though they were late for their own wedding.**
John - "15 gold! You could buy a whole meal for that! Buy five meals, feed some kids! Unless they're teens, maybe feed teens two meals each. Teens eat a lot!"
**The shopekeep's arm reflexively points towards the orange door when Jakari mouths the word "sell", the rest of the shopkeep's body taking a moment longer to digest the information.**
John - "The man in the next room over buys many things! He's quite insistent on playing rock-paper-scissors to determine how good the deal is, perhaps you will show your skill!"
**Before him lies a large room, completely empty save for the man sitting upon the large beige mat resting upon the ground. Calling him a man might be inaccurate; the garr looks more like a hill with eyes than anything else.**
Ro - "Present each item in turn. I will tell you base pawning amount. You may accept or decline. If you accept, we will play a single game of rock paper scissors. If we tie, I will pay you the base amount. If you win, I will pay you double the base amount. If you lose, I will pay you one third the base amount."
**Another door is off to the side, it presumably leads to the storage room(s).**
Ro - "Deals offered do not need to be deals taken, but it is also true that deals rejected do not need to be replaced by deals offered. Decide as you will."
He stared with steely eyes into the garr's eyes as he made his move. He figured that a man who relied on tricks to make his money off of travelers was likely a cheat anyway. He made his demeanor as intimidating as possible. He threw rock. If the garr blinked in the face of his intimidation and threw paper then the jakari would change to scissors.
**Ro had initially appeared somewhat bored with the whole affair, but his mood had perked up a bit at the Jakari's intimidation attempt. Granted, that probably wasn't what Jakari was hoping for.
In anycase, the garr throws out a fist that stays a fist; Rock.**
Ro - "I enjoy it; The game can have a surprising amount of depth to it."
**Ro tossed Jakari the initial 75g on his way out.
The door was apparently built to slowly close on its own unless kept open, a soft 'click' leaving the jakari alone in the first room with the older man behind the counter.**
John - "Perhaps eating would make you feel better?"
**John vanishes into the back room, reappearing some 20 minutes later with a delicious looking meal of swan meat, stuffed artichokes, and a tantalizingly fresh side salad. That must be some basement.**
**He receives it! The meal tastes every bit as good as it looks, if not better. One would call it downright magical, in fact.**
Spring in Your Step - Jakari is currently filled with vim and vigor, his body resistant to disease and his injuries healing a bit faster than usual. Flowers occasionally pop out of the ground in the wake of his footsteps, becoming especially thick and beautiful in moments of joy or excitement. Grander still will be the flowers that blossom after a great success, this ability fading away with that final majestic bloom.
