With Oaken's Trading Post and Restaurant now accessible, we're introducing a new way for characters to get various items in the game. Once per OOC week, any character in Auradon can pay a visit to Oaken's, either the restaurant side or the gift shop side (though not both in one go), and receive one item. What's the catch, you may ask? The catch is that the item they get is selected by the mods at random. So step right up and roll the dice. Who knows; you might just find something awesome.
FAQ
Will this affect my character's bonus AC points?
Nope! This new mechanic is completely separate from bonus AC.
What kinds of things might we get?
Venturing into the restaurant side will net your character a random bulk food item. Could be something you might find at Costco, but more likely it'll turn out to be something you might find in a Chopped mystery basket. Non-preserved fruit and veggies even stand a slight chance of being still edible! Though figuring out how to use the mystery ingredient might be a challenge. Any bulk food items obtained this way can be assumed to have been placed in the appropriate storage area in the school kitchens unless otherwise specified.
Heading to the gift shop side instead could net your character a wider variety of items. It could be something useful like an article of clothing, some soap, or a book, or it might be something that's just meant for decoration. Either way chances are pretty good it'll be at least a bit kitschy. If your character plans to donate what they get from this side to the community at large, please note it here.
If I get an item I really like, can my character go get another of the same thing next week?
No. Due to the strange magic affecting Auradon, no one can seem to remember where or when exactly in Oaken's they picked up their item. They just find themselves outside the shop a little while after they went in holding an item with an Oaken's tag. This is true even if several characters go in as a group; none of them can remember where or when they or their friends got their items.
How do I put in a request for my character to get an item?
Just post it here, along with if you want to try the restaurant side or the gift shop side. The mods will check this once a week and DM the character's journal with the item they got. We'll also tag the requests here, but please keep all of a particular character's requests in one thread for organization purposes.
Have fun, and enjoy your random shopping experience!

(and whatever's easier? I'm just presuming she's been trying sometimes more than once a day, but ending up stepping out without items, confused as per usual. so if we want to even just keep replying to the one comment, that'd work too!)
