Background

Few folks have been around the sewer longer than Old Squint, and no fewer have been in the Thieves' Guild longer. He runs the Guild store, which is not so much a location as an opportunity. He wanders about the sewers with the store on his back and its up to you to find him. He regularly moves the store all about the sewers. If you need him, the Guild always knows where to find him, if he wants to be found.

If you need to buy something questionable, the Guild Store is the place to go.
