    083 - Elsie, Gemporium, & Moonlighter

    A monster-slaying hero is a noble profession, while a merchant with a keen sense for market trends could become richer than anyone else. So what happens when one person tries to take on both roles and save the day? The village of Rynoka has certainly seen better days, but the best is yet to come.

As you step through the ever-changing floorplan of this magical hotspot, you'll be greeted by absolutely no one in sight. This place has everything: red envelopes, suspicious chauffeurs, a fountain that definitely isn't just a fountain, and dartboards that remind you of your least favorite school subject.
