Weapons3

A well-balanced longsword with nicks and a darkened fuller. Reliable, recently re-honed.

Balanced for thrusts; slightly faster to draw from scabbard trained for underground fighting.

A heavy, single-headed axe with a shock-absorbing haft — brutal and true.

A wicked little blade with a narrow groove to hold a small dose of toxin; easy to conceal.

Groove accepts a single dose of poison; if poison applied, target bleeds for for 1 round (DM adjudicates).
Miscellaneous1

A slim blade tempered in crypt-coal and a secret oil. A faint warmth runs along the edge.

Atk Once per short rest the wielder can cause the blade to flare, dealing an extra fire damage on one hit.
Miscellaneous1

A round shield of layered iron and leather with a padded grip and quick-release strap.

AC +3Counts as a +1 shield when braced by Brynna's runes (worn rune visible under inspection).
Armor1

Soft leather lined with riveted iron studs and hidden plates to stop dull blows.

AC +12Reinforcements reduce damage from bludgeoning by a small margin (DM adjudicates).
Miscellaneous1

Stout pickhead, reinforced eye, ring for rope-attachment. Good as tool and weapon.

Can be used as a climbing tool; Brynna can custom-tip one to improve grip on stone.
Miscellaneous3

An artisan's set of hammers, tongs, files and molds, all excellently made and maintained.

Grants advantage on repair and improvised-weapons crafting checks when used by a competent smith.

A three-pronged iron hook with a weighted lead core and thirty feet of hemp line.

Hook set for quick-release; line treated to resist rot in damp crypt air.

A steel bracer engraved with the local rebel knot — subtle to outsiders, a mark of trust to insiders.

Worn bracer grants advantage on Persuasion checks among the rebel network and allows a hidden compartment for a single tiny object.
Potions2

A corked vial of deep-red liquid that glows faintly in the dark.

Heal 7 HPHeals HP when consumed.

A stout vial sealed with wax and bound in leather, tastes faintly metallic.

Heal 14 HPHeals HP when consumed.
Miscellaneous1

Crossbow bolts with padded fletchings and a leather muffled head — made for ambushes.

On a successful hit used in enclosed spaces, the attack makes no loud report (advantage on Stealth checks to remain unheard).
Miscellaneous1

Dark interlocking rings tempered in under-crypt fires, the mail hums faintly with warding iron salts.

AC +17+1 to AC while worn. Slightly resists necrotic chill (DM may grant advantage vs. minor cold-induced checks).
Miscellaneous1

Stout boots with iron caps and a pair of little traction studs for wet stone.

Wearer has advantage on forced-movement checks on slick or rubble-strewn surfaces; imposes slight noise penalty to Stealth.
Miscellaneous1

On-site repair, sharpening, patching and minor enchantment upkeep. Rush jobs cost extra.

Brynna can re-temper and apply rebel ward runes to gear; longer jobs may require scavenged materials from crypt finds.

Shop Atmosphere

The forge sits in a vaulted crypt chamber; bones and old tombstones are stacked as workbenches. Brynna hums an old rebel tune when she forges; she offers discounts to those wearing a rebel knot or who bring useful salvage (iron, old hinges, chain). A steady drip of groundwater hisses on the coals — the shop is warm, smelled of coal, grease and faint incense used to keep the warding runes readable. Customers often bartered secrets or safe-passage in exchange for work; Brynna never asks too many questions, but she remembers faces.
