Onkh-Morpark Stores

''Note: Because Onkh-Morpark has many stores and detailing all of them on the main Onkh-Morpark page would make it too long and cluttered, they will instead be compiled here. Some stores are instead listed on the page of the organisation they are directly linked to.''

Description
Aperture Alchemy Inc is a store linked to the Alchemist's Guild of Onkh-Morpark and sells their more successful alchemical concoctions (and some that are decidedly less successful, in a fashion), including potions. It also sells its ‘Special Stock’, which are potions which provide double the effect of regular potions, but carry the risk of also poisoning the drinker. Although truth be, Aperture Alchemy Inc makes most of its money from selling all manner of inebriants and hallucinogens on the grey market. These are particularly popular with the students of the Miskatonic Lyceum, who feel their mind-expanding effects give them great inspiration, as well as some gnarly cravings for cornflakes and fried rat-kebabs, albeit sometimes at the risk of some rather explosively mind-blowing hangovers.

Services
Aperture Alchemy Inc sells Potions and Oils at the standard list price. The Special Stock Potions function like regular variants, but will provide double the healing or duration (whichever is more applicable). However, the drinker must pass a Fort DC 13 save or be poisoned (as the Poison spell). Note that this is an extra effect of potion in addition of its intended working.

Description
A pub in Onkh-Morpark, run by the hunchbacked, deformed Human (presumably, hard to tell with all the scars and stitches) named Igor, where various "people" can show their true forms and nobody will give a second glance. Perhaps one of the few locations where, when asking the bartender for a Bloody Mary, he won't mix you simply a metaphor... Clientele include Vampires, Werewolves, Ghouls, all manner of intelligent Undead and Mrs Gammage. Mrs Gammage is purely human, a blind old widow living alone who had been patronizing this pub for decades since it was still an ordinary human pub named the Crown and Axe. The clientele of Biers look after Mrs. Gammage.

Services
Biers also has a few bedrooms, although Igor rarely has the opportunity to rent them out. The Party has recently started using these as a cheaper alternative to the Widespread Arms whenever they are in the city.

Notable People

 * Igor: The bartender and owner of Biers. He rather enjoys having the Party as customers, since they liven up the place, quite literally even. He's always eager to please.

Description
A somewhat ramshackle store run by the eponymously named Crazy Eddy, this store is an adventurer’s best bet for getting a good deal in Onkh-Morpark as Eddy is rather prone to giving discounts to anyone who gives him a good laugh, on top of the already cheaper than average prices. However, reasonable quality control is just as alien a concept to Crazy Eddy as reasonable prices, and the Emporium's wares can sometimes be of rather dubious quality. It is not unusual for a customer to walk away with something ranging from faulty to outright cursed, like one of those Monkey Paws that grant wishes for an ironic price, except even more disappointing.

Services
Crazy Eddy's Emporium of Stuff sells magical items of all types at a price point 10% below the standard list price, but if you tell Eddy a good joke, he may increase that discount to 30%. Items bought at the Emporium have 10% of not working properly and a 1% chance of being cursed. It is possible for an item to be both faulty and cursed.

Description
A popular eatery in Onkh-Morpark at the edge of the Shades owned by the perpetually greasy Ogre Harga. Famous, or infamous depending on who you ask, for its “Buckets ‘o Meat”, which contain meat and nothing else; with all the crunchy and wobbly bits you could want. To be fair, while Ogres are not especially known for their haute cuisine, they do know their meat and Harga’s meats are, aside from their questionable origin, succulent and delicious, if unrepentantly greasy. His meals are also fairly cheap, meaning there are often waiting lines during peak hours. The building itself is your typical wooden and somewhat dirty hovel, as is common in the Shades.

Services
Simply put, hearty junkfood that is guaranteed to clog your arteries at affordable prices

Notable People

 * Harga: What this older Ogre lacks in social graces, he makes up for in his almost unmatched skills at cooking meat. And in being fat, as he is almost as wide as he is tall. He can be recognized from his tattered chef's hat and eternally greasy apron. Harga has a cousin who is a street food vendor in a town somewhere in Thale.

Description
La Pomme a large shop that fashions itself the store in Onkh-Morpark for the discerning customer. It distinguishes itself by being very modern and stylish, with a light interior of clean white furniture and smooth round shapes. It also offers high quality magical Rings and Woundrous Items of all types but at inflated prices, even if they are functionally identical to those at other stores. La Pomme is led by the charismatic Jeve Stobs, who is known for being unusually innovative for a Gnome, and who has a penchant of personally presenting new products to the public.

Services
La Pomme sells all magical Rings and Wondrous Items at prices 25% higher than the standard list price. It generally does not sell Artifacts, but there is a 1% chance it will have one for sale. Such Artifacts will only ever be available once.

Description
Stronginthearm & Sons’ main competitor in Onkh-Morpark, Mann Company, commonly known as Mann Co, offers items that are more varied and exotic in their functionality, which in practice means they are better than average in one way, but worse in another way. They specialize in crafting items from Australium, which they claim is the finest and strongest material one could want and much better than that boring, old-fashioned Adamantine Stronginthearm & Sons wastes its time with (because Australium is also shiny and yellow like gold, even if it is otherwise identical). Mann Co is run by President and CEO Saxton Hale, a daring Australian, even though no one in Aldarun has any inkling what that means. He is considered the fourth richest man in Onkh-Morpark. He was the sixth richest man, but surpassed the fifth by wealth and the fourth by killing him in a harpoon duel.

Services
Mann Co sells weapons and armor of all types, both mundane and magical. The store's regular stock offers enhancements up to a +5 bonus. Items with higher bonuses have a 10% chance of being in stock.

Description
The Mended Drum is a well-known disreputable tavern. Heroes of Aldarun frequent it whenever they are in Onkh-Morpark, and casualties are quite high due to bar brawls and occasionally because of the beer. However, if a tourist wants to meet heroes and see them in bar fights, The Drum is the place to go. Originally The Broken Drum, this tavern has been renamed The Mended Drum after a change of ownership and a reconstruction due to a fire caused by an unknown mage wearing a fox-shaped mask. It is managed by the foulmouthed and ill-tempered Hibiscus Dunelm.

Services
The Drum has lousy service, even worse drinks and offers no rooms. But it does have it's use for adventurers as a meeting place or for the job board that frequently offers mercenary and bounties, many of whom are put out by the Merchant Guild.

Notable People

 * Samus Aran
 * The Librarian

Description
Mum’pak is a Gnome with multiple personality disorder. His shop seems like an ordinary shed from the outside, but is actually a huge warehouse on the inside. Mum'pak's Trinkets is unique in that it actually located in more than one town or city. There are doors to his store in most of the lands of Aldarun, including one in Onkh-Morpark and in Anversa. The place is filled with piles of junk, but here and there and item of worth can be found. He also sells magical items of a varied nature. Browsing his store is not without risk, however, since magical contamination has caused some objects to become animated, sometimes leading to them attacking unwitting shoppers.

Services
Mum'pak's sells mundane and magical items of all types at the standard list price. Magical items are somewhat of a rarity, however, and dependent on randomly stumbling across them in the disorganized mess of assorted and obnoxiously dusty clutter. There is a 50% chance of finding items with a value up to 2000 GP and a 20% chance of items up to 10.000 GP.

Description
Stronginthearm & Sons is one of the two large weapons and armor manufacturers in Onkh-Morpark. This Dwarf-run company, owned by Logan Stronginthearm and his 5 sons, is known for crafting items of good, reliable quality, both mundane and magical. They specialize in crafting items from Adamantine, which they claim is the finest and strongest material one could want and much better than that lousy Australium junk Mann Co shills. The store itself is made from unadorned, functional and precisely carved hardstone, as is customary for Dwarves, lit by great wrought iron chandeliers.

Services
Stronginthearms & Sons sells weapons and armor of all types, both mundane and magical. The store's regular stock offers enhancements up to a +5 bonus. Items with higher bonuses are possible on special order, but at a price point 25% higher than standard.

Description
The rotund wizards of the Unseen University in Onkh-Morpark are more interested in studying lunch and dinner than actual academics. Unfortunately, good food does not come cheap and the wizards demand both quality and quantity. As such they have opened the UU Gift Shoppe, which sells scrolls and wands, so they can fatten the University's coffers in order to continue to fatten themselves. The Gift Shoppe is nominally run by the Librarian, but since his simian mind is often occupied by more important matters like tending to his library or eating peanuts and playing pinball at The Mended Drum, most of the actual day to day work is done by his assistant Rincewind.

Services
The UU Gift Shoppe sells Scrolls up to spell lv. 4 and Wands up to spell lv. 3 at the standard list price. Higher level spells, either as scrolls or staves, ro metamagic rods, could be obtained from some of the senior members of the University, but would command exorbitant prices. Whenever he's in, the Librarian can also be persuaded to offer his considerable magical services for a price (although he considers large amounts of bananas an acceptable currency).
