Shops & Bazaars

The shops of the world always various in goods and wares, and often items aren't always there either them being rare or the store is simple out of stock. Using the following table, it determine rather an item is in stock or not within the store. Some common items are however too common to not exists. Only one check is made to see if the item is in the store, even if another character checks the store. A new attempt to check the store's stock can be made the next day. As rule, any gear costing less than 1 sp exist in every shop if it carries that type of item.
Example: a general store will always carry torches (1 cp) and clay jugs (3 cp), but an armor smith won't have it since he only stocks armor. However, the adventurer will still make a check to see it the store has any oil flasks (1sp) in stock.

Bazaars function slightly different from normal stores. A bazaar filled with random vendors and constant commotion of bartering and promoting becomes a challenge to find the goods an adventurer is looking for. The only perk to browsing a bazaar is the chance of finding rarer goods, like ointments, potions, scrolls, poisons, and other out-of-the-ordinary wares. To look for goods in a bazaar requires a successful Gather Information check, with the DC the type of item you are searching for. Each check takes an hour to complete, and unlike checking store stocks, a character can check again for the same type of item, with a +2 to the DC to each additional check.
Example: an adventurer is looking for a set of thieves pick (a toolkit), her DC is set at 20. If she fails, she can look again for the thieves' picks (or any other toolkit) with a DC of 22. If she changes her mind on the thieves' picks and decides to look for a new light crossbow (a simple weapon), her DC will only be 15.
