Shenstone

Shenstone, is the proprietor at the Dark Watch Armory in Minoc.

Shenstone himself (like most of the shop owners in the game) had not much to say in Ultima V. However, after the Avatar continually gave coins to a certain beggar near the Healer's, the beggar hinted that Shenstone was up to something near noon. Watching him at that time, Shenstone left the Armory at noon and burried something at the base of a tree at the Northeast corner of town. Searching the area after he again had left, the Avatar obtained the extremely useful Skull Keys (here as well as other sources) which were essential to accessing magically locked rooms (even the Treasury at Lord British's Castle).

Shenstone never noticed the theft, always hiding new keys in the tree each day.
