Weapons3

A massive, crimson-streaked +1 maul forged in a giant forge. Heavy, balanced for crushing armored foes. The head is etched with runes against draconic kin.

Atk Against creatures tagged as dragon, deals an extra radiant damage. The wielder gains advantage on checks to break bone or scale armor once per short rest.

A long, crimson-lacquered pike hammered from folded giant-steel. Runes along the shaft sing faintly when dragons are near.

Atk On a hit against a creature of the dragon type, deals an extra piercing damage. Once per short rest, you may gain advantage on one attack roll against a dragon.

A greataxe with a long, wicked blade painted a deep red. Balanced for two-handed blows and swung with surprising reach.

Atk Adds 5 feet to the wielder's reach when wielded in two hands. On a critical hit against wyrmlings or smaller dragon-kin, the target is knocked prone.
Armor2

Scale mail dyed crimson with embedded giant-forged scales. This +1 armor is stamped with warding circles against draconic breath.

AC +15Once per long rest, the wearer can invoke Ember Ward to gain resistance to a single instance of a dragon's breath weapon for 1 minute.

A round shield of hammered steel with a crimson seam that glows faintly. Designed and sized for sturdiness against dragonfire.

AC +3Grants +3 to AC when wielded (+2 shield +1 enchant). Once per short rest, you can spend a reaction to halve the damage from a breath weapon that hits you.
Miscellaneous8

Bracers of dark iron threaded with crimson cord. Small runes flare when a breath weapon is detected.

Grants advantage on saving throws against breath weapons and on checks to resist being frightened by dragons. Recharge after a long rest.

A thick, crimson oil that smokes faintly when exposed to air. Meant to be applied to weapon blades.

When applied to a weapon as an action, the weapon deals an additional fire damage for 1 minute (attacks only).

A polished disc of mirror-metal hung on a crimson thong. The disc sometimes shows scales instead of reflections.

Grants advantage on saves vs breath weapons. Once per long rest, when targeted by a breath weapon, the wearer can attempt to reflect a portion: the attacker must make a Dexterity save or suffer half the reflected damage (mirror returns energy equal to half the incoming damage).

Twelve oversized crossbow bolts tipped with hardened giant-iron. Intended for heavy crossbows or ballistae.

When fired from siege or heavy crossbows, these bolts ignore up to 3 points of damage resistance from mundane scales.

A kit containing rivets, reinforced plates, tongs, and hardened crimson rivets for emergency armor repairs.

Allows non-proficient users to attempt a field repair: restore up to 5 HP worth of functionality to armor or a weapon once per use (requires 10 minutes).

Simple black iron spikes hammered with a hint of red temper. Useful for traps or anchoring lines.

A small whetstone imbued with a faint red grit that keeps edges keen longer.

Sharpening with this stone gives a +1 to damage on the weapon for the first strike after sharpening (one strike, lasts until next short rest).

A small vial of crimson dye mixed with soot from dragon-scorchings. Used to mark gear or leave signals that resist heat.

Items dyed with this gain advantage on checks to conceal themselves in scorched or volcanic terrain for 24 hours.
Potions1

A thick crimson potion kept chilled in an iron flask. Heals wounds in an instant.

Heal 14 HP
Miscellaneous1

Bjorn will rework or remold armor into a custom giant-forged plate to fit larger frames or to accept anti-dragon runes. Requires 3 days and specialized materials.

Optionally inscribe a minor anti-dragon rune during service (+1 vs breath weapon once per long rest) for an additional 150 gp in rare inks and forging time.

Shop Atmosphere

“The shop is a cavernous space hammered out of bedrock and lit by a central forge whose flames glow crimson; the anvil is enormous (almost giant-sized) and rings with a tone that Bjorn insists reveals the 'true note' of metal. Bjorn speaks in a low, booming voice, humming ancient giant lullabies while he works. He offers discounts to those who bring actual giant-crafted materials and refuses to sell certain dragon-specific runes to anyone he deems 'too petty' to hunt dragons honorably. The shop smells faintly of charred scale and crushed iron; a warning bell rings whenever something draconic is sensed within a mile.”
