BIG VAMLENTINE’S DAY SALE!

BIG VAMLENTINE’S DAY SALE!

"Jiro the Kobold" by Pat Loboyko

You notice a strangely colored, faintly glowing sheet of parchment—perhaps, you think, a flyer for the upcoming talent show/open-mic night at the local wizard’s college—blowing ominously across the sunset-lit cobblestone street, dancing eerily in the chill, unearthly wind.

Which is especially weird since you’re currently in a dungeon.

And it’s daytime.

The very instant you notice it, the menacing sheet of sparkle-paper seems somehow almost magnetically drawn to you. Moments later, the fluttering sheet begins slapping against your shins like a hungry kitten who thinks your pockets are maybe—just MAYBE—stuffed full of ham and two-day-old salmon.

Against all good judgment, you pick up the mysterious sheet of paper and glance briefly at its unholy and sanity-shattering bargains…

A Word from Our Founder:

Here at Wacky Khk’ryl’knar’s Delightful House of Wonderment & Delight Emporium, we pride ourselves on delivering only the highest-quality items-of-esoterica-and-mystery to you, our loyal customer… and at the very best possible price.

How do we do it, you ask? Well, it’s easy: my hardworking, dedicated staff of loyal minions is always out there, day and night, murdering people and taking their stuff.

And we pass that savings on to YOU!

We’re a big, family-owned business, specifically because I—totally on accident!—recently acquired what turned out to be an orphanage (and also a pretty cool haunted water park, though that was a totally separate thing, but I’ll tell you this though: the kids LOVE IT).

Funny story, actually, but the point is that we’re expanding our operations… into YOUR dimension! Look for our ads every week wherever you normally look for ads (in a basement?).

We’re proud to have been in business for over a gajillion-thousand-hundred years, with nearly a dozen satisfied customers.

And we want you to be our next one… or my name isn’t Wacky Khk’ryl’knar!

—Omnicidal Khk’ryl’knar,
the Sentient Floating Purple Ball
of Pure Concentrated Evil
Made Manifest in Three Dimensions
as a Physical Somewhat Jelly-Like Substance

“We slash our competitors’ prices, but not actually—just take out the part where I said prices. See, ‘cause it’s just the competitors that we slash, specifically, not their—oh, you get it. Wait, crap, that reminds me, speaking of, because the best possible price is, in most instances, the very LOWEST one. And that’s our motto!”

THIS WEEK ONLY!

Pants of Many Pants

This magical set of garish, hideous trousers holds an infinite number of slightly different garish, hideous trousers within its depthless, musty enchanted pockets. As an action, the wearer may draw a new set of magic trousers from a pocket of the pants of many pants. These new magic trousers are also treated as pants of many pants. Drawing a new set of magic trousers from the pants of many pants instantly disintegrates the pants of many pants currently worn by the wearer.

Price: 2 gp

Spatula of Proficiently Flipping Stuff Real Good

This mystical spatula grants the wielder advantage on all rolls made to flip something, like… I don’t know. A pancake. Eggs, maybe? A… a toaster strudel. If you wanted to fry that up in a pan. Or something. For reasons.

Price: 1 gp [OOPS NO MAKE THAT 100,000 GP I JUST FIGURED OUT THAT IT ALSO WORKS ON ACROBATICS CHECKS THAT INVOLVE A BACKFLIP, WHICH IS NOW ALL OF THEM YA’LL CAN CALL ME “BACKFLIP McGEE THE AWESOME BACKFLIPPIN’ BACKFLIPPER” FROM NOW ON LOL WHEEE BACKFLIPS]

Journal of Xhathrax Eon-Hand: Chrono-Conqueror, Master of Millenniums, Subjugator of All Spacetime

This magical tome is infinitely long, which comes in handy if you need scratch-paper or a quick tissue handy. The book details the life of some guy named Xhathrax Eon-Hand, a time mage so powerful that he accidentally paradoxed himself out of existence way back at the dawn of reality and is now… never been will’ve have to existed-ing?

Price: 3 gp [discounted from BEYOND-PRICELESS ‘cause the annotated complete history of the universe recorded in here is just, like, hilariously wrong]
