Here's the description of The Lightning Strike, Lance
Trueblade's weapons shop:

   The building is actually a tall, thin house.  On ground level
lies the shop itself.  Various arms lay on display in the two
windows on each side of the front door, and over the latter
hangs a large sing bearing the name of the shop in blue
lettering.  Inside, shelves adorn the walls, filled with swords,
dirks, rapiers and the like.  Some cases with a glass top lay
about, displaying rare specimens of unique blacksmith art.  The
counter is at the far end of the shop, along with the stairway
that leads up to Lance's home (nothing fancy, just a bedroom, a
washroom, a study and a very small kitchen).  Also, another
staircase in the sho p leads down to a large room, where Lance
usually practices swordfighting.  He also sometimes invites
prominent buyers in this gym so they can try out their
purchases.

   But Lance knows his own little brand of magic.  With the use
of some magic devices bought (at a fair price) from a few mages,
no item can leave his shop unless Lance permits it (like, for
example, if it was bought).  Lance keeps his two special
longswords (titanium and silver alloy mixed with diamond dust)
on display on the wall behind him.  They are NOT for sale (they
cost him nearly The Lightning Strike itself!).

   Lance keeps open his shop up to about midnight, and he opens
it up at around seven the next morning.  The shop can be often
found closed, for Lance's uncanny ability to talk his way into
trouble gives him many enemies.  Nevertheless, he keeps a fair
price on his merchandise, and can sometimes buy weapons from
customers, if they're unusual.  All in all, The Lightning Strike
brings to adventurers curious, peculiar and sometimes outright
bizarre weapons, at a good price.  Lance gets his weapons from
very different sources, and he has a contract with one of
Monfort's smiths.
