EXPLAINED: The Lugard Broker and the Power of Positive Thinking

[Erulisse]

The list on the poster is incomplete, and/or changes the more I look at it.



Entrance to the Market Hall
Double doorways tall and wide enough to accommodate a heavily laden wagon
serve as an entryway into this tall, pillared market hall. Smooth, rounded
cobblestones line the floor and a second floor can be glimpsed further up.
A cacophony of sounds echoes around the building, with hawkers crying their
wares and the general hustle and bustle of throngs milling about.

A poster lists some of the wares for sale in this establishment.

A one person canoe rests on the ground.

That's what it does. It writes a new list every repop. You just caught it in the middle of writing said list. I even added a message about an aide taking down the poster when it starts to write and an aide putting up an updated poster. And yes, that is how slow long and multi-step mobol can be. It's far far faaaar from instantaneous. I wish it were otherwise, but alas, not the case, so not a bug. Functions as intended.
