"Is this where I get the bounty for this guy's head?", Came a surprising new voice from across the counter as Karen logged in, "normally I wouldn't bother with his low level", the shop materialised around her with the new customer, "but for 50 gold I dont mind at all", the woman on the other side dropped five heads looking almost the same except two had wounds all over and one was almost cleaved in half, recognizing her tormentor Karen could only nod and deliver payment for the bounty collected, her feeling of relief totally worth the credit to gold ratio she had to pay for the bounty.

Throwing his last flare into the tunnel before him revealed how wrong Andrej was when he didn't invetigate the other one further, signalling to the party to stand guard he scanned the new tunnel for traps and couldn't see anything, walking as far as the bend it seemed this tunnel ended in a glowing rock wall so he called them all to him and conjured a wilderness shop.

Nothing happened,"Are we not in the wild?", he asked Talia who shook her head.

"It seems we are in a player owned domain", she checked some things in her display, "Kobold Warren", scanning some things, "its like some weird ass guild house without a guild".

"Do you think the Kobolds we are chasing are actually players?" Jimmy interrupted them, "because if they are we need to rethink our strategy".

 Talia shook her head again, "how dumb do you have to be to take the weakest mob creature as a Player charectar?"

"Don't know" Jimmy said, "but they act really weird for a bunch of mobs".

"Where are the ambushes?" Andrej added, "traps are an inconvenience", scanning his inventory, "sure there were a lot of them", he uploaded his map of the Kobold Warren, "but they were all low level and simple", sharing the map, "it looks like either a computer generated random items or some four years old drew it with his fingers".

"Fine" she cut their chat, "lets move on that last room", she marked the last door, "there can't be more than ten of them", lining their path and pointing a few places, "otherwise they should have ambushed us at these spots".

Disarming the trap on the door and breaking through the lock with a knife to spare his more delicate tools Andrej had a thought and decided to try something else.

Light converged as if coming from the walls, a stall appeared to the side of the hallway complete with a Kobold shopkeeper and the Kobold Warren sign on top.

"What the hell did you do?" Talia shouted in surprise.

"Asked to trade with the guildhouse", he walked over to the stall, "looks like it worked".

"Don't pull shit like that again without a warning" she warbled her sentence.

"Yea yea" he dismissed her, "lets see what they got to trade"

The whole group moved around the stall, checking the menus and wares, "Who in fucks sells ?", Apri shouted, the tall muscular man was actually their blaster but he buffed up his strength by attrition and hard work, allways moving at a slower pace because he was overburdened.

"That's not the weirdest thing I can see here", Talia answered, "they have honest to god on sale", she sounded frustrated "but only in bulks of ten which none of us can afford".

"Look at that ", Minney added, "we should pull everything we have to buy that thing", the short archer said, "infinite quivers" looking like she was going to burst from excitement.

"And this in barrels", Apri added, "they had to kill at least three hundred dragons to get this much", he sounded almost apprehensive, "I hope it means they are all out somewhere hunting monsters so we can finish this raid and get away".

"What did we get ourselves into?" Talia asked in growing dread.

"That is a terrifying question", Andrej answered hesitantly, "there is absolutely nothing we can afford in this shop", he looked again at some section, "ore cores", he rattled out, "uncut gems, mining tools, crafting equipment and materials, everything from extremely rare, legendary and mythical origins".

"Lets finish the group we were chasing and get the hell out of here" Jimmy ended their conversation.

Taking positions around the door the group carefully prepared to storm the room with the besieged guild members inside, "they had a very long time to prepare for us" Talia said, "so we play this carefully and exactly how we trained".

Dan finished his incantation and a soft aura glowed around the two front line fighters, they burst inside and the team moved quickly behind to support and blast anything that could be in the room.
