The Pick 'n' Axe
Signs of better times can be seen under the more recent state of disrepair.
Pots and pans adorn the dusty shelves and racks of mended farmtools hang on
rusty nails all along the walls. A small, well-tended forge glows silently
in the corner. The tools of the blacksmith's trade are dutifully arrayed on
a nearby rack. To the other side of the room a counter can be seen framed
by the towering shelves behind.
A large sign is nailed to the front of the counter.
