A patched leather rucksack with a bedroll, waterskin, 10 days of rations, tinderbox, 10 torches and a small whetstone. Slightly musty—someone used the bedroll recently.

None

Sturdy, slightly frayed in a few spots. Useful for climbing and tying.

None

A brass hooded lantern with a glass smoked by black soot. Burns like a normal lantern but its light has a faint bluish tinge.

When lit, sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. Creatures in the bright light have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to notice invisible creatures for 1 minute once per long rest.

Bandages, salves and simple tools. Useful for stabilizing the wounded.

Provides a stabilizing aid and can be used to expend a use to stabilize a creature (no Medicine check required).

Common pipe tobacco in a cracked wooden tin; the incense is a set of six sticks that burn with a perfumed, cloying smoke.

Incense: when burned, calms animals as per a short calm effect for 1 minute (area 10 ft) — once per incense set.

A blackish ink that dries slightly luminescent in moonlight and a quill from a raven. Used for letters and strange rites.

When used to write a name under a drawn triquetra, the ink briefly glows and preserves the writing for 10 years.

A small carved figurine of blackened stone depicting a horned, eyeless figure. Warm to the touch at times.

Sells well to collectors and cultists; when held in darkness, user can whisper to hear indistinct murmurs (roleplay effect).

Picks, tension wrench and other small tools. Old but serviceable.

None mechanical; suitable for a CR 3 party to attempt locks and traps.

Small tallow candles in a glass jar. Burn with a steady, smokeless flame.

Jar keeps them dry; when lit, each candle sheds light like a common candle.

A small tumbled stone etched with a single rune. When triggered, it emits a faint warding pulse.

Once placed and activated, grants all allies within 10 ft +1 to saving throws against fear and charm for 10 minutes. Single use.

A coin stamped with a spiral and a tiny crescent. Some say it's a calling token for dark groups.

None mechanical. If shown to a cultist of the local hidden sect, elicits a subtle recognition gesture.
Potions2

A small vial of ruby-red liquid. Heals light wounds.

Heal 2 HPWhen consumed, restores hit points (standard Potion of Healing).

A cloudy, greenish vial that smells faintly of moss. Grants temporary friendliness from a beast.

Functions like the Animal Friendship spell for 1 hour (beast only).
Armor2

A tarnished silver brooch in the shape of an eye. Worn pinned to clothing, it hums faintly when danger is near.

AC +1Grants +1 to AC while worn (counts as a worn trinket). Once per long rest, wearer can add +2 to a single saving throw.

A gray, slightly iridescent cloak that seems to drink light at its hem. Comfortable and well-tailored.

AC +1Grants +1 to Stealth checks in dim light or darkness and allows the wearer to cast Pass Without Trace once per long rest.

Shop Atmosphere

The shop smells of stale bread, pipe smoke and something faintly metallic. Shelves creak at odd hours though no one is in the back. Marta hums tuneless melodies and insists on wrapping purchases in waxed paper stamped with an eye; she is outwardly warm but avoids the cellar door. A cultist from a nearby secretive sect quietly meets clients behind the shop under the pretense of late-night purchases — they leave tiny marks (three crescents) on sold goods to identify allies. NPCs buying multiple items may find an 'extra' token hidden in their package later.
