Day 1, Morning: The Cigar Shoppe
You enter the cigar lounge.
A vampire in a Lay-Z-Boy laughs to himself as you walk through the glass door. "Velcome to the Vorld of Darkneth!" he says. "Bwa ha ha... ha ha... heh."
You buy a kick ass cigar for 100 gp. It's made from leaves of the Tree of Knowledge, marinated in cognac for 40 years. The elves playing euchre are impressed. "Ya, friend. Dunno 'Vrill' name guy, but ya ya, guy like that, he come here, he play some real shitty euchre, real shite this guy."
"Ya ya," one of the other elves chips in. "This guy like 'owlbear this owlbear that', and he always smile when he get a good hand. We tell him, you not a good partner, ya? You always smile like the big dummy when you get a good hand. Then he try to bluff real good, like laugh too hard and say 'Oh ya this good' when he get a shit hand and all like 'Oh dear' when he get a good hand."
The first elf shakes his head. "Ya, he inhale too. Everybody knows you don't inhale with the cigars, ya? Had to drink a big drink, ya. What a big dummy this guy. Anyway, ya, I saw this guy little bit, over at the Chili's restaurant place. That Chili's restaurant is in terminal K."
"No, the Chili's restaurant is in terminal J," says another elf, smoking a big cigar. "J, ya."
"No, you are the wrong. The Chili's restaurant is in terminal K." Turning back to you, he says "K terminal get to from Y terminal. Just head to F terminal to go to Y terminal, ya. The Chili's, is good." The elves all nod in agreement.
You ask about terminal B, and the elves bicker again about how to get there. "You go to the terminal A, then to the terminal L, then to the terminal L2, the special terminal. You got to take the shuttle bus. Then head over to H and then to the B."
The vampire, apparently listening in to the conversation, laughs and says "Foolth! B! The B terminal... it ith under conthruction! Ha ha ha..." He turns into a bat and flops around, apparently trying to fly away out of the lounge. But he can't open the doors as a bat, so he finally turns back into a vampire and sits down in his recliner. He leans back, popping up the footrest, and quietly laughs "Ha ha ha... ha ha... heh... hmm."
The cigar is great, by the way, and nets you 50 xp just for smoking it, thanks to the knowledge imparted from the magical leaves.
...
Sure enough, there's a dirty pair of boots for sale. You ask him if he has any better stuff, and he says "No I don't, sorry about that. My cousin Freddy 5 has some robes for sale at the food court though."
You ask at the information desk about duty free shops, and what the hell, the food court. The helpful zombie tells you that there are some shops near the food court, located between terminals M and N. There are some other stores, more upscale places, located in terminals A and Z, although the stores in Z are temporarily closed, as that terminal is under construction. As an aside, the zombie mentions that as undead mainly come on through terminal G, there aren't a lot of stores here. The zombie leans a little closer, and looking off to the side first, tells you that a lot of rabble come through F, G, and H, peddling all sorts of crap they've stolen from any old poor dead guy.

Not much is happening in terminal G in terms of buying great equipment. You do see a modron with Down syndrome standing by a shoe shine place, with a big sign that reads
"CursEd BooTss 200 gp s"
