THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

The Silk Road

also known as Silk Road Market

First seen: Book 2, Chapter 15

A long, mostly-empty room set up like a farmer's market: a single row of stalls with room for five or six more, run by an eclectic mix of races. Mordecai says the room is mirrored on the floor below and that both will eventually fill up with merchants; not many are out yet. Home to Hobgobs and Boom Sticks, plus booths selling black, bubbling potions and 200,000-gold magical items called Spider Shields.

Marketplace

Appearance

At the station-131 location, the long-promised trap-supply booth still isn't open, but its skeletal outline now stands in the space where it'll go, a sign it's closeB3C9

Booths selling black, bubbling potions and round, 200,000-gold magical items called Spider Shields, staffed by an eclectic mix of races, from short goblins to tall, robed figures with four sets of pincers. A single booth, Hobgobs and Boom Sticks, sits alone in the back with several empty spaces around it; a double-sized trap-supply booth is due to move in next door once the fourth floor opensB2C16
