Shop Inventory
(13)A small vial of honey-tinted liquid. Heals minor wounds; the liquid seems to draw warmth from shadows rather than sunlight.
A pale blue ampoule that zips faintly like trapped wind. Calms the heart and stiffens the spine against terror.
A flask of water sanctified with verses and talc of crushed pearl. Burns fiends and undead on contact.
Thin leather bands stamped with a pattern of interlocking eyes. Not truly magical, but made by a local apothecary to comfort the wearer against dark influence.
A vial of faintly luminescent oil used to anoint weapons or doorways; imparts a trace of sanctity against demonic influence.
A rope net woven with dark threads. Not overtly magical, but knots resist loosening and hold fiends better than common rope.
Basic supplies for a short expedition: oil, a coil of hemp rope, a small lamp, five bandages, and a cheap protective talisman.
A scroll with curling script and a miniature ward painted in coal. Grants a modest ward against malevolent influence.
Fragile papyrus; the ink faintly flutters when someone nearby is terrified.
Parchment inscribed with crossing glyphs. Designed to unravel minor hexes and curses.
A curved blade with a balanced guard and a grip wrapped in black-dyed leather. Crafted in the desert style; ideal for slashing foes in close quarters.
A common dagger whose edge has been silvered to hurt fiendish or lycanthropic creatures. The point gleams with a cold light under moonlight.
Flexible studded leather dyed a deep umber. Lightweight and favored by scouts and inquisitors.

Shop Atmosphere
“The shop sits in a narrow side-street and smells of oud, citrus, and old paper. Ṣāhir speaks in soft, perfectly polite Arabic-accented Common; when customers pay, he briefly lets his fingers show a flash of tiger-striped fur before pulling the coin into a locked wooden box. He is unsettlingly curious about purchasers' motives, offers discounts for those fighting obvious evil (and higher prices for those he suspects of darker aims), and hums an eerie prayer when he wraps goods. He refuses to sell offensive divine artifacts outright but will trade protective items to those who swear (and sign) an oath to use them against true evil. The atmosphere is uncomfortable but oddly safe—locals say his rakshasa nature makes him a dangerous enemy of other fiends, and that he keeps the worst things out of the wrong hands.”
