They line the ceiling in groups like the barred windows of a cheaply radiant prison turned on its side. Their prisoner is shown in full by the glow, a mummy of a man whose meat is yet to wither, but he moves and speaks as if his organs have already been scooped into jars.
"A quest is it, boy? Been readin' too many fairy tales, ain't ya."
"Maybe a little..." Lorelei lets out a light and semi-forced chuckle. "He's Ace by the way, and um... Could you call me Lorelei?"
"Don't like the name your daddy have ya no more?" After a slightly pleading look, the apron-wearing mummy simply shrugs his wide shoulders. "Whatever makes ya happy."
"Thanks, Mr. Brigit... but um, not to sound like I got knocked on the head or anything, we really are on a sort of quest. We're going to look for something in the woods, so would you have anything that could help mess around safely?"
"Hell... I should have a thing or two 'round somewhere. So long as you ain't gonna go an' fight no windmills, I'm happy to lend ya a couple for a bit. Just don't go losin' or breakin' em, alright?"
With the two of you nodding in agreement, Mr. Brigit leads you through the many cramped shelves, all laden with dusty clutter that hasn't seen a mortal touch in a long, long time. Everything sort of blends together as you walk along, but every so often something catches your attention more than the rest. At the end of the day though, it's an old hardware store with a bunch of niche bits and bobs you couldn't even begin to imagine of what they're called.
>Grab an aluminum tube with a bulbous cap on the end. It isn't all that long, but it's nice and simple and looks a little like a scepter if you close your eyes.>Take a pair of thick, rugged gloves. To most these are for the working class, but a demon lord can make use of them just as wel. They also feel pretty satisfying to slip on and off.>Pick up a coil of sturdy rope. It's scratchy, durable, and fun to put your arms through. As any adventurer will tell you, you never know when you might need rope.>Ask Mr. Brigit if he has anything else you could take a look at. Maybe something not on the shelves?>Write-in
