Midnight Barracks Skirmish Spoils

After slipping through the damp stone corridors and surprising a four-guard patrol inside a ruined barracks, the party cleared the immediate threat and searched their pockets and lockers. The guards were regular city-watch types wearing patched leather and carrying short swords; they kept most of their valuables on their persons or in a small supply closet nearby. The haul is modest but serviceable for a first-level party: coins and a few tradeable items to cover supplies, one common healing potion to patch wounds, a small gem and ring to raise funds, and a key that may open a nearby storeroom. A bit of scrap metal and the leather armor are useful for repairs or for an enterprising party member to equip and sell. The key and the modest garnet offer immediate hooks for continued exploration within the dungeon complex.
