Marching From the Vaults; Sixenpence

 Adapted From Pathfinderwiki- Otari



This traveling curio shop bears no sign, but the denizens of Rafs Island know it as Sixenpence: a place to marvel at whatever strange new trinkets and offerings its equally strange owner might have encountered. The structure consists of a ring of what appear to be standing stones arranged in a 60-foot-diameter circle surrounding a 15-foot-high dome of wooden beams covered with triangular pieces of canvas. Closer inspection of the standing “stones” reveals that they are also made of wood frames and canvas, cleverly painted to resemble granite. The area between the central dome and the surrounding circle is a collection of other dome-shaped tents used to store the shop’s wares. When it’s not raining, the fabric of these domes is pulled aside so shoppers can admire what’s for sale in the light of the sun—or the moon, for that matter, as Sixenpence is always open. Reni Sixen has what she regards as a very good reason for the curio shop’s strange arrangement—she sees safety in curves and menace in angles and suffers from a touch of claustrophobia. The central dome is her domicile, and she’s painted the interior surfaces to resemble a night sky featuring all the constellations of the Zodiac Barons so that even on overcast nights, she can fall asleep under the stars.

Key Features

Packbeast Construct: The crates, shelves, and tentage of sixpence are also components of construct packbeast. At Reni’s command, her shop packs itself up into a crude quadrupedal form that travels with SIxen as she moves from settlement to settlement on Rafs. When she needs to set camp, the packbeast unpacks itself into a temporary shelter in a few minutes.

Adventure Hooks

The Haunting of Fen Lighthouse

Reni Sixen has arrived in the port town of Loliba and set up her traveling curio shop, Sixpence. One evening while reading the stars, she is struck by a vivid premonition - a glimpse of a crumbling lighthouse perched on a cliff overlooking a thrashing sea. Reni is certain this vision pertains to the abandoned Fen Lighthouse located just south of Loliba. She explains to the adventurers that she sensed a sinister arcane energy pulsing from beneath the lighthouse, though its source remains unclear.
