The Wonderful World of Vendors and Merchants
 
Chapter 8 - Vendor Vacations and *sob* Retirement, by Zamboni Driver; edited by Xena Dragon
Occasionally, the sad day comes when it's necessary to pack up Marlene.

After performing the appropriate penitence and repeatedly apologizing to Marlene, here's how to do the evil deed:

  • Vendors can no longer be redeeded in any way. You must either "dismiss", or call a GM to get the vendor moved, as detailed below.
  • Vendors can be terminated with the command "vendor dismiss". Before destroying your hard-working friend, make sure that you retrieve all of her earnings and remove anything that remains in her pack, as she won't leave a corpse. Gold that you've used to pay her is gone forever. Warning: I've heard reports of players going grey when terminating their vendors. I haven't been able to confirm this rumour, but be careful of who's around when you dismiss your vendor.
  • If you own a house and want to eject a vendor that's inside (and you don't control the vendor), the only way to do so is to call a GM and ask her to remove the vendor. As long as the vendor's owner isn't a friend or co-owner of the house, the GM should evict the vendor.
The recommended donation to the Vendors' Bereaved Spouse Fund is 10000gp.
