There's a sign in the window advertising a candy sale, and colorful alchemical lights out above the doorway to lure people into Ambrose's shop. It smells like warm sugar, an apprentice currently pouring a pot of the molten material onto a table to be worked into new confections. Ambrose, a stout dwarf with an animated face is fixing up a display with bags of colorful humbugs.

If you're looking for toffee or peppermint bark, ribbon candy or multicolored candy canes, those are all available. So are marshmallows, large and square-cut in several flavor, as well as caramels in foil wrappers. One table off to the side advertises cough drops--did you know those came from the local candymaker? Everything is wrapped in bright ribbons and crinkly paper.

As one leaves, there's a second sign, smaller than the first: HELP WANTED. Are you looking for work?
