Weapons6

A well-balanced shortsword favored by drow warriors; light, easy to conceal and quick in a thrust.

A compact hand crossbow often used by drow sentries and assassins. Reliable and easy to hide beneath cloaks.

A razor-sharp drow-forged dagger, balanced for throwing or close work.

A sword with veins of smoldering glass in its blade. When lit it roars with inner flame favored by pyromancers and house-forges.

As a bonus action, speak the command word to set the blade aflame. While ablaze, it sheds bright light in a 40-foot radius and deals an extra fire damage on hit.

A magically tempered shortsword with a faint protective rune along the fuller; grants +1 to attack and damage.

Atk This +1 shortsword is forged from dark iron and frequently used by drow sentinels.

Shadowforged Scimitar: a house-forged drow scimitar tempered with alloyed obsidian and shadow-ink. Custom piece from the Umbral Anvil.

Atk Once per short rest, the wielder can channel shadow into the blade to deal an extra necrotic damage on a hit. The blade's dark edge grants advantage on Sleight of Hand checks to palm small objects while concealed (DM discretion).
Armor4

Studded leather dyed shadow-black. Comfortable for agile combatants and favored by many drow scouts.

AC +12

A standard chain shirt of darkened links, reinforced where needed for Underdark service.

AC +13

A stout iron shield, rimed with faint runes to resist corrosion from the damp Underdark air.

AC +2

A chain shirt forged with mithral threads; light as silk but hard as tempered steel. Polished to a faint moon-sheen.

AC +13Does not impose disadvantage on Stealth checks and ignores Strength requirements normally imposed by heavy armor when mithral-forged.
Miscellaneous6

A complete set of smith's tools, polished and laid out on a leather roll branded with a spider motif.

Proficiency with smith's tools allows advantage to crafting/repair checks tied to metalwork.

A vial of the drow's secret venom: a dark, oily fluid brewed in complete darkness and kept in bone containers.

A creature subjected to this poison must make a Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. If the save fails by 5 or more, the creature is also unconscious while poisoned. Wakes if damaged or shaken awake by another creature.

A dark, shifting cloak woven from Underdark silk. Patterns ripple to match shadows and stone.

While hood is up, Wisdom (Perception) checks made to see you have disadvantage and you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks to hide.

A bundle of torches, soaked and bound for travel in damp environments.

A sealed vial of oil for lamps or to help start forge-fires; kept secure to avoid contamination by Underdark mists.

A hard whetstone taken from a riverbed of obsidian grit; preferred for drow blades.

Potions2

A small vial of bubbling red liquid. A staple for adventurers who tangle with Underdark predators.

Heal 7 HPRestores hit points when consumed (avg 7 HP).

A slightly stronger tonic kept for tougher skirmishes; favored when the party expects heavy fights.

Restores hit points when consumed (Greater Healing), average 14 HP.

Shop Atmosphere

“The forge smells of ozone and cold iron. Silken spiderwebs hang from rafters and tinkle like chimes when the bellows are stoked. Vel'ara hums ritual tunes while she works and will only accept payment in coin or rare ore; she lowers her prices for those who offer a good story or a useful piece of Underdark salvage.”
