A slim brass stylus used by merchants, clerks, and smugglers to score wax seals and mark cargo manifests.

Advantage on checks to recognize a broken seal or forged shipping mark, if used by someone trained in Investigation or Insight.

A compact clerk's kit for sealing parcels, copying marks, and making a ledger look official.

Can be used to create a convincing seal impression for ordinary trade paperwork with the proper tools.

A weatherproof folio for maps, invoices, and discreet bribe notes.

Keeps paper charts and inked records dry in rain, mist, or river spray.

Common paper map of Brackenford's docks, market lanes, and river approaches.

None

A small imported parchment notebook favored by customs clerks and discreet couriers.

After a long rest, the wearer can keep one extra page of notes perfectly dry and legible.

An embossed customs seal with the house crest of the Exchange.

A successful Deception check using the seal can make a mundane shipping crate look officially inspected.

A vial of imported ink used for contracts, bonds, and private council correspondence.

Legitimate signatures made with this ink are hard to counterfeit without professional forgery tools.

A finely made brass compass used by river pilots and chart brokers.

Advantage on one check to navigate river channels, canals, or floodplain routes after studying the map for 1 minute.

A rare and incomplete map set showing older courses of the river and the flooded edges of Brackenford.

Contains accurate pre-flood survey notes. On a successful Investigation check, it can reveal hidden causeway features, old culverts, or submerged arches.
Potions2

A tiny bottle of medicinal spirit and peppered cordial for stressed negotiators.

None

A standard healing draught sold in the same velvet-lined case as the shop's better imports.

Heal 2 HPA creature that drinks this regains hit points.
Weapons1

A custom letter knife with a mother-of-pearl hilt, favored by brokers who like their threats elegant.

If used for a surprise strike by a character proficient with daggers or similar blades, it deals normal weapon damage and leaves no obvious trade-cut mark.

Lootable Stash

Where The Take Sits

The main stash is split between a desk drawer, a false wall behind the map shelves, and a locked counting-room safe hidden behind stacked ledgers.

On Failure

If the theft goes wrong, the front bell is rung and two dock toughs plus the owner's bookkeeper block the exits while the owner calmly sends for the city watch or a council aide, depending on who can cause the most trouble. The shop is arranged with narrow aisles and a locked back counting room, so escape becomes difficult and the party's faces may be remembered for future political leverage.

Shop Atmosphere

“The room smells of ink, river reed, wax, and expensive tea. Every visitor is offered a sample map, but the sample is never the same one twice. The owner knows the tavern rumors before the tavern does, and speaks about council votes as if they were cargo weights. A brass bell over the door never rings for honest customers, only for trouble or debt. Hidden beneath the courteous smile is a habit of editing documents after they are signed, then charging for the correction.”
