Weapons7

A well-forged dwarven longblade, balanced and keenly polished. No runes, no tricks — just steel and craft.

Versatile ( when used two-handed). Nonmagical; exceptionally balanced for its price.

Light, quick blade favored by scouts and caravan guards. Dwarven tempering keeps the edge longer.

Finesse-capable blade. Nonmagical.

Short-handled warhammer, peened head and a touch heavier than common field hammers. Dwarf-made, built to dent armor.

Versatile (). Effective against armored foes due to head design.

Balanced battleaxe with a single broad blade. Good for chopping and throwing in a pinch.

Can be thrown (range 20/60).

Two-handed sledge adapted as a weapon. Heavy head forged from recycled wagon iron; built to crush.

Nonmagical; slower to wield but devastating on hit.

A longbow laminated for extra draw, strung with treated sinew. Carried and serviced carefully — good for hunting and war.

Range 150/600. Recommended maintenance frequently on caravans.

Three balanced throwing knives in a leather wrap. Cheap, reliable, and easily replaced.

Light and thrown (20/60).
Miscellaneous7

A simple leather quiver with twenty hardened arrow shafts and iron heads.

Essential hammer, tongs, files, chisels and portable anvil in a reinforced case. Borin offers lessons in basic repairs for a fee.

Required for crafting/repair checks related to metalwork.

Basic kit with nails, wrought iron patches, and rope for field repairs on caravans and mounts.

Simple iron bolts or lead sling bullets, cheaply cast and effective in numbers.

On-the-spot repair: straighten, re-rivet, replace hafts and re-edge. Parts and labor included for minor work.

Repair restores functionality but not magical properties (owner refuses dealing with magical gear).

Borin will reforge multiple common weapons and scrap into one superior nonmagical weapon. Turnaround 2-5 days depending on caravan route.

Final weapon is nonmagical but counts as superior craftsmanship; he can carve a personal maker's mark.

A roughly-smelted ingot made from recycled gear and wagon fittings. Useful for on-route crafting.

Armor5

Round/heater style shield faced with steel rim and reinforced leather. Lightweight, reliable.

AC +2Provides +2 to AC when used with appropriate armor and holds up well to repair.

Interlinked iron rings, knee-length hauberk. Heavy but dependable; Borin's preferred armor for caravan defenders.

AC +16Steadfast construction reduces likelihood of breakage. Heavier than scale or chain shirt.

Tough leather with metal studs. Good balance of stealth and protection for scouts and rogues who pass through the caravan.

AC +12Light armor; studs are decorative but well-anchored.

A half-plate-esque breastplate forged from tempered iron and brass accents. Expensive to produce, Borin only carries a few.

AC +14Medium armor providing good protection without full plate's encumbrance.

A small reinforced leather pad with iron plates for elbows/knees/shoulders. Made for caravaners who need protection without full armor.

AC +1Adds +1 AC when worn in addition to light armor pieces (DM adjudicates stacking).

Shop Atmosphere

Borin is fiercely anti-magic: he will not buy, sell, or repair magical items and becomes visibly agitated if arcane items are offered. He will happily trade common nonmagical gear and pays decent scrap value for beaten metal and broken weapons (roughly 1/3 the equivalent item's value in coin or credit toward new work). He stamps finished goods with an Ironstride mark and will occasionally barter repairs for services (extra rations, mule feed) when the caravan is short on coin. Talks constantly about the purity of 'true steel' and sings short dwarvish working hymns while he hammers.
