[h3]The Hunter's Dream[/h3] The Shopkeeper stood at Ophelia's encouragement and nodded their head in acknowledgment, but even now they did not utter so much as a sound. The only noise any of them had heard from the Shopkeeper so far was the soft rustle of their long Hunter's coat when they moved; had it not been for the slow rising and falling of their chest, none of them could even have been sure they were breathing. “The Shopkeeper thanks you for your forgiveness and your kindness, good Hunter,” the doll relayed, bringing her hands together on her stomach and bowing to Ophelia once again. “As you guessed, the Shopkeeper is indeed responsible for ending the Night of the Blood Moon, though things may not be as simple as one would assume... though that may be a tale best saved for another time.” With but another faint rustle of their coat, as even their boots on the wooden floor seemed soundless, the Shopkeeper went over to a table that stood under the wall with unique weapons – a table filled with tools that Farren might recognize as being for the maintenance, adjustment and creation of Hunter weapons – and raised both hands to place a number of objects there. From their right hand they placed three padded satchels that would be recognizable to both Ophelia and Farren, as it was exactly the same type of bag that they had seen Victor retrieve the blood vial he had given them from earlier. From their left came three curious tubes, mostly metal but with one continuous section from bottom to top made of glass to allow one to see the interior. “The Shopkeeper wants you to have some of the standard equipment of your profession, good Hunters,” the doll explained, though she remained by the door and merely looked on from a distance. “Those satchels are to safely store restorative blood vials while making it as unlikely as possible that they break as you fight. The tubes are for storing quicksilver bullets, preventing them from becoming fluid.” Not done yet, the Shopkeeper than placed three quite peculiar-looking syringe-like devices on the table. “Those are for extracting blood and compressing it into blood bullets,” the doll explained. “They aren't as stable as quicksilver bullets, but just as potent.” Finally, the Shopkeeper turned away from the table and back to the Hunters. They raised their right hand toward them, fingers closed in a fist and palm upturned, only to open the hand and reveal three small silver hand-bells there. Quite notably, none of them had seen the Shopkeeper retrieve the bells, the tubes [I]or[/I] the satchels anywhere; in fact if anyone was paying close enough attention, they would realize that the items just seemed to spontaneously apparate in their hands. The doll nodded her head slowly. “While the other items are equipment most Hunters have, these bells are the Shopkeeper's gift to you, and only you. Whenever you might feel that you have encountered something for which you require assistance that you do not have, use those. If you ring one of these bells, it will summon the Shopkeeper to your side for a time.”
