     A  rumbling  sound  fills the Dragon's Inn in the  heat  of  the  day.  
Patrons  look  up quizzically at each other from their noontime  meals.   A 
pause.  Creakings and clangings are heard.  Everyone rushes to the door and 
windows of the Inn to see what the matter is going on.
     A  tall, heavy-set man in this late thirties is busily motioning  many 
workhands to unload his shipment.
     "C'mon,  you #$@%*!  Get a movin'!" roars the muscular  man.   "You're 
wasting my time here!"
     Scared apprentices shuttle back and forth between what appears to be a 
new  shop  and a long caravan of many wagons filled with  various  weapons, 
armors, staves, wands, scrolls and other items.  The horses neigh nervously 
and  stamp their hooves impatiently as experienced hands until  crates  and 
unload boxes.
     "C'mon!  C'mon!  We haven't got all day!"
     After what seems like years, the owner goes to the first wagon, gets a 
hammer  and  some nails, and pulls out a wooden plank of wood  with  golden 
writings.   He walks up to his store,  steps on top of a stool and  hammers 
in the sign:

               Amnon's Shoppe of Weapons, Armour and Magicks

     He  then  finds a scroll of paper and hammers it on the  door  of  his 
shop:

         For example:
         HAWKBLADE, Sword
         Amnon the Retired Wanderer (houie@cco.caltech.edu)
         The Hawkblade is a magical weapon given to Amnon  during 
         one  of his sojournings in the Antiem Mountains.  It  is 
         made of white steel with the strength of adamantine with 
         a blood red leather handle.  It is rumored to be able to 
         cause the wearer to have a sixth sense, knowing if  evil 
         lurks nearby.
