Ok here is a module that creates 3 huts in the cities (admin selectable).

The huts can be searched for trading items, potions, and chow.
Once in  a while (1/4 of the time) the inhabitant is home and players can converse with them.  The AI routine is very simple and I would love suggestions for additional keywords and responses.  This module requires the lonnycastle module and will not hook if the castle module is not active.   One should also have the trading module (the castle will not hook without trading).  The inhabitants will respond to references to the voodoo priestess and gift shop modules, these modules are not required, and the installation will notify you of this if these modules are not activated.  Admin selectable Inhabitant names and gender.  Module knows if chow, and potion modules are installed and lets players find these items if these modules are active.  Also has admin setting for maximum searches per day....

This module has lots of potential for growth, especially in the area of the AI and topics to enlighten players on... so suggestions are more than welcome and can easily be added to the routine.
