You walk through the mostly deserted marketplace, wondering why you're even here. Suddenly, a flash of color through the darkness catches your eye. It's over at Kymo's stall. You walk over to see.
The color is, in fact, J'thulu and Kymo. Kymo appears to be asleep, with a big smile on his face. J'thulu is awake. He beckons you over with a big grin. "You look like you have a bit of intelligence. Imagine having to live with this blathering idiot. It's not worth thinking about. So, what do you think? Want to see my wares? None of that 'pretty stuff', though. So if that's your style, go on back home." You decide to stay and see what he has. He lights two candles that are sitting on the table. His wares surprise you. "Don't you need a permit to sell this stuff?" you ask. He cackles. "Who needs permits? Besides, if I'm caught at least Kymo will be punished too."
He picks up the shriveled paws. "Paws of glory. Some idiots think that if you put a candle in their grasp and hold the paw nobody except you can see the light. Pure superstion. But anyone who's evil should have one or two of these. Comes in grendel and ettin varieties, take your pick, they're both 5 gp."
He picks up one of the skulls. "Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him well." He sniggers. "Seriously, take a good look. A bit fragile, but that's what you get from skulls, eh? Which do you want, norn or human? They go for 10 gp - it's darned hard to get these things."
He picks up the cobra statuette in the middle. "I carved and painted these things myself - I'm pretty fair at anything that requires a blade or a brush. So what do you say? I'll give them to you for 10, no, 5 gp."
He puts it down. "That's about it, unless you want one of these candles. Those are just 2 gp - I've got a million of the things. So, gonna buy?"
