Hettie Pocketwhistle
A round-faced Halfling with wire-rimmed spectacles perpetually pushed up on her forehead (never where she's actually looking), Hettie Pocketwhistle has run Ye Olde Curiosity Shop since before most of the current Lodge staff were born. Short and round, with a mess of curly grey hair always escaping its pins, she moves through her shop with the easy familiarity of someone who could find any item on her shelves blindfolded.
Hettie can't sell so much as a button without telling you where it came from, who owned it last, and at least one detail that's almost certainly embellished. Ask her about anything on her shelves and you'll get a five minute story whether you wanted one or not, most of them ending with "...or so I'm told, mind you." Regulars know to budget the extra time. New guests usually leave having bought something they didn't plan on, charmed as much by the story as the item itself.
Signature Items
Hettie always has these on hand, however the shop's fortunes turn.
Practical Goods
A short fixed list Hettie always keeps in stock, mostly for adventurers passing through with a Henchman in tow.
