Ah, Dave’s slop shop, where you can exchange loot for rations. He’s got a pot of bubbling liquid, about the same color as the swamp itself.
I hope it’s pea soup!

Good time for a crusty witch that scams the players and tries to harm them when they leave
Or…
Someone who drinks Baileys out of a shoe, goes to a club where people wee on each other and has a mangina. He wants you to stay. Forever.

“Welcome to Swamp Swap! We buy and sell anything that floats.”
Lets see if this rusty armor floats then.

I bet someone has compiled a list of common video game tropes people try to bring into tabletop games. “Expecting a merchant to buy the blood soaked armor without questions” would definitely be on there.

What is half the value of “a leather jerkin, soaked and blood and gut-juice, with two arrow sized holes and one axe sized hole”? Zero? Or perhaps a negative value because having it makes the owner look guilty of murder?
