Act 5, Episode 6, Scene 9
Morgan Buys the Halfling Leg Gun
2026-05-14 / Black Market, New Goblin City
The black market did not disappoint New Goblin City's reputation. Tech Runners, goblins, deep gnomes, and other half-hidden dealers moved through a crowded economy where almost anything could become merchandise. It was not polished commerce. It was appetite, salvage, body horror, and opportunity packed together under fungus light and city smoke. Morgan found the vendor who matched the place. Dr. Gristlewick Poplimb wore a doctor's coat and sold weaponized limbs as if this were a reasonable professional specialty. Morgan, being Morgan, did not walk away from that. She bought a halfling leg gun for two hundred gold and sweetened the deal with a promise to bring useful body parts or leads if she found them. The purchase did more than add a grotesque weapon to the party inventory. It gave Morgan a black-market contact, a recurring supplier possibility, and a fresh ethical problem shaped like a medical coat. In New Goblin City, even shopping could become a future hook. Morgan left the stall armed with a leg. The city, somehow, got weirder and more useful at the same time.
