fluctuating

I was thinking that extending from the idea of having a secret shop that sells special items hidden underneath the map somewhere, having some kind of Soul Bank where you could deposit your souls for the potential of more souls later on in the game could be a fun idea.
Potentially perhaps the price can fluctuating depending on how much is banked by all players and how much is withdrawn. Or have it be purchases stocks in each of the three companies that you buy items from and the value of your shares could increase depending on what people buy in the game.

I had made a previous thread about Cursed Items and within it depicted Baba Yaga as the secret cursed shopkeeper, and in brainstorming with friends, it was suggested that perhaps akin to the chicken-legged house, Baba's pop-up shop would also have legs and run around the map at set intervals and never stay in the same space for too long.

The Baba Yaga talk eventually expanded to having all the shops be related to her, and I ended up designing the following:
With Baba Yaga managing the secret shop, Bob Yaga, her son, being the normal spawn shopkeeper, and Barbara Yaga, her daughter being the bank manager.
(Above: First sketch of Bob that was perfect so I didn't do any other designs, and a updated version of Baba [I drew her quite a few times in the last post])

The specificity of this trio isn't necessary for the idea to work but I really like the visual of a family business of the Yagas
