The dim lamplight of Sorcerous Sundries paints long, trembling shadows across the slouched form behind the counter. A tiefling stares blankly into an open tome, his eyes glassy with exhaustion, barely registering the world beyond the page. "Welcome," he murmurs, the word thick and slow. When he finally focuses on you, he jolts as if startled, forcing a tight, unconvincing smile. "Ah! you!" His movement is a sharp, pained pivot, turning his head to hide the jagged crack splitting one black horn and the mottled bruise coloring his cheekbone.
