Miscellaneous15

Heal 3 HPStabilizes the dying and grants bonus to Medicine checks to treat wounds once when applied.

A fist-sized chunk of mica-flecked ore that emits a steady glow.

Emits bright light in a 10 ft radius and dim light for another 20 ft for ~6 hours; recharges in sunlight over a day.

A stout iron pick with etched runes and a faint blue sheen along the head.

+1 to Strength (Athletics) checks made for mining; once per long rest it can 'sense' ore and glow along veins within 30 ft (guide effect, no damage bonus).

A tightly wrapped packet of controlled smokepowder with a short fuse, meant for breaking rock.

Used on rock: breaks rubble; if used in open air vs creatures it deals bludgeoning in a 5 ft burst. Mishandling risks small self-damage ().

A small pendant studded with a tiny polished pebble. Warm pulses when tremors occur.

AC +1While worn grants +1 vs bludgeoning damage from collapsing rock and halves falling damage from small cave-ins once per day.

A slim wooden wand tipped with a flint-like stone. It hums faintly when shaken.

Spend 1 charge to create a bright spark (can light lanterns, ignite fuses) or to deal fire to a single target (simple spark). Regains charges at dawn.

A drawstring canvas pouch lined with faintly humming mesh.

Place up to 10 lb of crushed rock inside; the pouch sorts out unwanted slag and concentrates finer ore overnight, granting advantage on appraisal checks the next day.

A gritty, mineral-scented salve in a small jar. Used to repair masonry and cracked stonework.

When applied to stone or masonry repairs ~ 'hit points' of structural repair (DM adjudicates). Useful for shoring up tunnels.

A dull gold nugget on a cord. Worn by many miners for luck.

Once per day grants +1 to a single skill check (prospecting, appraisal, small chance-based rolls).

Sturdy iron-and-glass lantern. Burns clear light with oil.

Provides bright light in a 20 ft radius and dim beyond for another 20 ft when lit.

A small sealed flask of lamp oil.

Used to fuel lanterns; flammable.

Fifty feet of sturdy hemp rope; essential for traversing shafts.

Dried meats, hard bread, and salt. Keeps a miner or traveler going for a day.

A brittle vellum scroll inked with a single short charm to reveal metal within a short radius.

Shop Atmosphere

“The shop smells faintly of ozone and iron. Marta hums old tunnel songs while she works and keeps a tiny clockwork mole named 'Nub' that scuttles over counters delivering small items. She will haggle a little with locals or adventurers who bring ore samples — she'll often offer trade credit (10% bonus store credit) in exchange for raw, interesting finds. The back room is a cramped workshop ringed with drying sea-glass, labeled vials of 'spark' and a board of hand-drawn maps showing local seams and old collapsed shafts.”
