Weapons4

A balanced, reliable blade favored by city watch and couriers.

A compact bow used by guards and messengers.

A stout crossbow that requires bolts and steady aim.

A heavy wooden gavel favored by low-level magistrates; sturdy and blunt.

Armor2

A square shield, painted with a faded TAP emblem.

AC +2

Padded leather reinforced with studs for extra protection without bulk.

AC +12
Miscellaneous12

A roll of bandages, salves, and small tools for treating wounds.

Stabilizes a dying creature without requiring a Medicine check.

Pliers, picks, small files and a mirror in a leather roll.

Rough rope used for climbing, tying off, and hauling.

A wooden torch wrapped in pitch-soaked cloth.

Filling but plain rations fit for travelers and low-level guards.

A metal flask of lamp oil. Burns in lanterns and torches.

A small hooded lantern with a glass lens and fuel compartment.

Useful for opening crates, prying doors, and forcing locks when necessary.

A lead token used by low-level TAP clerks for day-to-day access and filing.

Accepted as a trivial administrative credential at lower-level checkpoints; grants +2 to checks made to gain access to restricted-but-routine municipal areas when presented with plausible cover story.

A small stamp set used to mark documents with an official TAP impression.

Once per day, the pad can produce a convincingly official-looking stamped seal; does not replicate magical wards or high-level credentials.

A sealed envelope stamped with a TAP crest and marked confidential.

Contains a one-page set of encrypted TAP orders. Deciphering requires a successful Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Insight) check; reading it provides a plausible lead implicating Elias if the party is suspicious.

A small ledger page ripped from a TAP registry containing a list of recent visitors and timestamps.

Sells as rare paperwork. Finding a marked name inside may implicate or exonerate recorded individuals.
Potions2

A bitter liquid in a glass phial marked with a small embossed serpent.

When consumed, grants advantage on saving throws against poison for 1 hour.

A clear, slightly sweet potion kept in a taped vial.

Heals hit points when consumed.
Miscellaneous4

A fancy quill used by clerks to make official entries with ease.

Once per day, grants advantage on a single Forgery or Calligrapher's checks related to paperwork and seals.

A worn brass band carried by mid-level registry officers.

Once per long rest, grants +2 to Investigation checks made to locate or interpret documents and records for 1 hour.

A tiny device sold as a vaulting aid; useful for cautious searches.

When activated, the disc emits a low hum that reveals secret doors and hidden compartments within 10 feet for 1 minute.

A small, official-looking token that opens doors and tempers questions.

Once per day, when presented to a low-to-mid-level TAP official, grants advantage on one Persuasion or Deception check attempting to pass as authorized personnel. Does not work against high-ranking officials or magical verification.

Shop Atmosphere

The shop looks like a municipal vault: filing cabinets, stamped forms, and a faint smell of ink and oil. Everything is arranged by category and stamped with tidy TAP insignia. A mechanical filing rack ticks on a slow cycle, sliding a single file to the front every few minutes. Elias Ward is polite, overly neat, and habitually offers paperwork and receipts for even the cheapest purchases. He greets regulars by badge number and records their names in a slim leather ledger that he insists is 'for inventory.' He hums an official-sounding tune. If the party snoops the backroom they may find a hidden drawer where Elias stores extra tokens and a folded paper with a list of names — a subtle hint that he is more than a friendly merchant.
