Shop Inventory

(15)
Weapons3

A balanced knife with a plain wooden grip, useful for kitchen work, hunting, or desperate defense.

A serviceable shortbow made for travelers and game hunters. The shop keeps several sizes in stock.

A sturdy hand axe with a wedged iron head. It is sold as a woodcutting tool but is battle-ready.

Armor2

Quilted armor reinforced with leather strips and covered in brown waxed cloth. Better than traveling clothes, quieter than metal.

AC +11

A round wooden shield faced with boiled hide. Its painted emblem has been deliberately scrubbed away for resale.

AC +2
Potions1

A bitter green cordial of willow bark, honey, and crushed leaf. It dulls minor aches and closes only the smallest scrapes.

Heal 2 HPRestores 2 hit points. This is mundane herbal cordial, not a Potion of Healing.
Miscellaneous9

A standard glass vial suitable for storing oil, poison, ink, samples, or alchemical mixtures.

Thick lamp oil in squat ceramic flasks. The store sells it for lamps, hinges, cooking fires, and less respectable purposes.

Can be ignited when spilled or thrown. A lit flask deals 5 fire damage on a hit, subject to the usual oil rules.

Reliable rope with knots marked every ten feet. It has seen use but has no frayed sections.

A compact fire-starting kit in a tin box, favored by caravan guards and novice adventurers.

A bundled expedition pack assembled from standard adventuring supplies. The canvas has been patched but carefully cleaned.

A custom blend of beeswax, tallow, and powdered graphite sold in a folded paper packet.

Reduces squeaking and minor friction. Has no effect on magical locks or creatures.

Useful for mapping, leaving trail signs, or recording contracts in wet country. The parchment smells faintly of pine resin.

A brass-framed lantern with blue glass panes and a sliding shutter. Every hinge has been tested before sale.

Small red tablets that crumble into a durable trail mark when pressed against stone, wood, or packed earth.

Leaves a mark visible in torchlight and moonlight, but not through solid objects. Marks fade after roughly one month outdoors.

Where The Take Sits

The store occupies a long timber building beside a low stone ford, with the public counter at the front, narrow aisles between stacked crates, and an owner’s loft above the rear storeroom. Most valuables are divided between the counter cashbox, the flour chest, and a locked desk rather than kept in one obvious vault.

On Failure

A failed theft attempt triggers a spring bell beneath the counter. The shopkeeper locks the front door, calls her adult nephew from the loft, and uses the rear alley door to summon the night watch. If the thieves flee immediately, they avoid combat but are identified by the store's wax-seal ledger and neighboring witnesses.

Shop Atmosphere

“The shop smells of wax, dried mint, lamp oil, and damp rope. Goods are arranged by shelf height rather than category, because the owner claims that tall customers should pay for the privilege of reaching the upper stock. Every item bears a tiny red shelf mark, and missing marks are noticed immediately. Customers who haggle too aggressively are offered a cup of weak tea and a lecture on how many nails, hinges, and wagon axles their coin must replace. The rear wall is painted with a faded boast that reads, 'Everything a traveler could ever need,' though the store has never stocked horses, saddles, or magical goods.”
