About

The Moonlit Market is a market (duh) that is held on the top floor (not the roof) of the Five Ways Bell Tower whenever there is a full moon. The market lasts for the whole full moon, which is 3 or 4 days (Disc Time). Every market the vendors will change, as will their goods. The vendors and wares available are largely assassin-oriented and include a few items with insignia from the Conlegium Sicariorum houses, although anyone with the skills to reach the market can shop there. Engaging in combat in the presence of a guard will get you thrown off.

Directions

To reach the Moonlit Market, go to Five Ways in Ankh-Morpork. Outside the bell tower, "climb up", which uses adventuring.movement.climbing.rock the first three climbs and adventuring.movement.climbing.rope to reach the top floor, which is a no-portal zone. You can portal to the ledge just below, from where you only need to climb the rope.

If you want to leave by jumping (or are shoved off), you'll need skills in adventuring.acrobatics.tumbling. It appears that 140 bonus is enough to safely land unharmed. If you don't tumble successfully, you'll lose about 1000 hp and might break a leg.

Traders

There are a number of traders in the market. They arrive gradually in the evening and leave gradually, and are gone by mid-morning. Not all of them appear; there are eventually four or five in the market for a given night. If one appears on the first night, then that peddler will be there on the second and third nights, and there won't be new peddlers. (Reboots in between nights might change the peddlers.) They don't always occupy the same alcove they used the night before. Most things cost more than $50. The condition of the items is random and makes the prices vary a little.

Traders:

The type and amount of goods a peddler carries vary. It's possible one has a certain item one time, and next month they don't have it in stock. They replace their stock throughout the night so that they have the same items as when spawned, at intervals averaging 30 minutes round world time. Once you've bought an item from a trader, you have to wait a few minutes (five at most) if you want to buy another of that same item.

You can "order" one weapon from Oscar Singleton and "collect" it from him another night he turns up at the market. You can wait as long as you want to collect your item. You can only have one order active at a time and must collect it before placing another order.
