(16)A master-forged longsword with a faint line of molten slag in the fuller. Balanced and true, its blade hums faintly when orcs or undead are near.
A hefty two-handed blade forged from a dark steel that absorbs light. Its edge holds without needing frequent sharpening.
A blade whose ricasso is blackened, veins of red metal run along the fuller. When swung it spits sparks and sings like a hearth.
A black-hued warhammer with a head stamped with a furnace mark. Its haft has runes burned into the wood.
A greataxe blackened as if in a pit of coal, haft wrapped in hide. Carved runes suggest it was made to fell burrowers and cave beasts.
A soot-dark cloak lined with a thread of silver. Simple to look at, but the wearer feels steadier and more guarded when wrapped in it.
Boots with worn leather soles and featherlight stitching. They sound like a cat's step even on flagstones.
A weathered bag with runic stitching. The mouth looks ordinary but drops into a cavern of woven shadows.
A leather roll containing hardened punches, tongs, files, and a small whetstone that glows faintly with heat from previous use.
A battered crate labeled with the smith's mark containing common adventuring supplies for spelunkers and dungeon explorers.
A small glass phial sealed with black wax, contents a honey-gold liquid that mends wounds.
A stout vial with a silver rune on its base. The liquid inside shimmers with quick silver flecks.
A crystal phial filled with viscous, deep-red liquid. Opening it smells faintly of iron and wildflowers.
A breastplate hammered from black adamantine, pitted but unbroken. It rings like an anvil when struck.
A finely woven chain shirt of pale, almost silvery metal. Light as cloth yet tougher than ordinary rings.
A round shield inlaid with a tiny sigil of a forgotten guild. It is light and takes a shine to heroic hands.

Shop Atmosphere
“The Gloomforge sits in a carved cavern off the main dungeon route, half-lit by forges that never seem to cool. Sparks fall like grey snow when the great bellows breathes; the walls are hung with weapons and armor, many showing signs of having been pried from monsters by the shopkeeper himself. The proprietor, Durnik Ironmantle, a mountain dwarf artificer of level 12, lost one eye in a collapsed tunnel and replaced it with a polished lens that glows faintly red when he hammers. He greets customers with a grunt and a cup of bitter black tea, insists on naming every blade he sells, and will impart a free repair to items purchased here once per month. He refuses to sell to those who disrespect a forged weapon's maker and keeps a small ledger of debts etched into a scrap of iron nailed behind the counter.”
