A well-sewn canvas backpack with leather straps and a small hidden pocket sewn into the lining.

A simple bedroll. Clean, slightly moth-eaten at one corner but surprisingly warm.

Rations sufficient to feed one person for one day.

A simple burning torch. Useful for light and for burning through webs or ice in a pinch.

A coil of hempen rope, fifty feet long, with a leather wrap to keep it tidy.

A well-conditioned waterskin with a faint scent of mint at the mouth.

Flask of lamp oil. Keeps lanterns and torches burning longer.

A hooded lantern that casts a steady, controllable light for several hours with a flask of oil.

Thieves' tools with a few extra picks and a magnetized hook.

Used to attempt to pick locks and disable traps; requires proficiency to add proficiency bonus to checks.

A small tin of sealing wax in crimson and black; the shopkeeper stamps seals on the spot for a coin.

A thin vial and quill labeled in a neat hand: 'Vanishing Ink, For Private Correspondence'.

Ink writes normally but becomes invisible in ordinary light; under moonlight or a casting of faerie fire the ink becomes readable for up to 24 hours.

A fogglass mirror with a cloudy surface that seems to drink light around its edges.

Once per day, as an action, the holder can cause a 10-foot-radius mist to appear centered on the mirror that lasts 1 minute. The mist lightly obscures vision but does not block sound.

A tiny trinket carved with a half-obscured eye. It hums faintly at odd hours.

Once per day the charm vibrates gently if a secret door or recently-hidden compartment is within 10 feet. The vibration is subtle and requires an Investigation or Perception check to notice.

A lantern with darkly tinted panes and a brass handle engraved with concentric lines.

Minor magical item. Once per short rest, when lit, the lantern casts a muted light that grants creatures within 10 feet advantage on Stealth checks to move silently for up to 10 minutes. The lantern's flame is quieter and produces no crackle while the effect lasts.

A packet of 'Guiding Cards' sold by the shopkeeper for travelers who fear becoming lost.

When a single card is burned, it explodes into harmless motes that briefly outline a simple map of the immediate area (up to 60 feet) for 1 minute. Once per long rest per pack of cards.

A little kit for marking walls and reading subtle magical tugs in the air.

The compass needle gives a faint tug toward recent disturbances of magic within 30 feet, but it is unreliable as a true north indicator while this pull is active.

A vial of 'Clarity Mist' distilled from river herbs; popular with investigators and weary judges.

When uncorked near a closed eye, the vial's scent grants a single creature advantage on one Insight or Perception check made to tell truth from falsehood (usable once).
Weapons4

A balanced dagger with a darkened blade; ideal for close work and throwing.

A short, elegant blade kept sharp. Comfortable in a nimble hand.

A shortbow carved from flexible yew. Light and reliable for hunters and scouts.

A compact crossbow favored by travelers for its ease of use and stopping power.

Armor2

A simple wooden shield reinforced with iron bands.

AC +2

A supple leather cuirass that offers basic protection without hindering movement.

AC +11
Potions1

A small glass phial filled with a ruby-red liquid that warms the lips when drunk.

Heal 7 HPCommon healing potion. Consumed as an action.

Shop Atmosphere

Shop Name: The Veiled Ledger. The shop is a narrow two-story building wedged between a bookseller and a hatmaker. Inside, shelves lean and paper tags dangle from almost every object. Lamps glow with a slow, breathing light and the air is scented with sandalwood and ink. Bookcases are half-filled with mundane manuals and half with blank, lock-stitched journals. Small signs in a tidy hand read 'Ask for assistance' in several languages. The owner, Thaddeus Corvyn, is a human warlock of level 3 with an eye for secrets. He wears a charcoal coat with many inner pockets and a brass monocle that magnifies more than sight. He speaks in soft, precise tones and seems genuinely amused by puzzles. Thaddeus will barter information, take old notes in exchange for discount, and occasionally trade an odd favor for a rare oddity. Strange things: a clockwork raven that repeats the last whispered name it hears, a chalk circle on the floor that hums when a lie is told nearby, and a selection of 'curiosities' kept behind the counter that are sold only after a brief riddle is answered.
