A common sailor's knife, useful for cutting cordage, scraping tar, and opening stubborn crates.

Strong, serviceable rope sold in tightly bound coils, each marked with a colored thread denoting its length.

Light, supple silk rope prized by climbers, riggers, and smugglers who can afford it.

Advantage on checks made to handle or tie the rope when weight and flexibility matter.

A compact sailor's repair kit wrapped in oilskin and secured with a bone toggle.

Allows repairs to sails, tents, packs, and canvas equipment during a short rest, subject to the DM's judgment.

A cheap pocket kit for stitching torn clothing, packs, and light canvas.

A small pulley block used for hoisting crates, lowering boats, and rigging temporary shelters.

Doubles the amount of weight that can be lifted with a suitable rope and anchor point.

A stout double pulley, scarred by salt and heavy use but carefully maintained.

With a matching tackle arrangement, reduces the effective weight of a load at the DM's discretion.

Tarred canvas suitable for emergency shelter, boat repairs, pack covers, and makeshift rain cloaks.

Water-resistant until badly torn or burned.

A weatherproof lantern designed for deck work during rain and rough seas.

The shutter can reduce the visible light to a narrow slit, useful for signaling or concealment.

A rigging alarm assembled from spare cord and a bell, useful for securing a door, chest, or alley entrance.

Can be arranged as a simple audible trip line. Detecting it requires a successful Wisdom (Perception) check in suitable conditions.

Yara's practical improvement on ordinary rope. It is not magical, but its unusually clever braid makes its knots exceptionally reliable.

Once per long rest, the rope can be knotted around a fixed object to make a knot that holds firmly until deliberately untied by the creature that tied it or by magic.

A custom utility cloth made from offcuts of high-quality sail material. Adventurers use it as a stretcher, gear sling, or emergency awning.

When thrown over a narrow gap, it can serve as a temporary handline or drag sling. It bears no weight beyond what the DM considers reasonable.

A thick, smoky-smelling preservative used by experienced sailors to protect cordage from rot and salt damage.

Treated rope becomes resistant to ordinary fraying and remains usable after brief exposure to flame or seawater.

A vivid signal streamer cut from retired rescue sailcloth and reinforced for repeated use.

Can be used as a highly visible distress marker or signal flag. It is recognizable in poor weather at greater distance than ordinary cloth.
Weapons1

A compact iron boat hook with a sharpened point and curved bill. It is sold as a tool, though dockside fights have given it another reputation.

The hooked head can catch rope, clothing, or a railing if secured with a line.
Armor1

A patched storm cape with a deep hood, sold in several muted colors to suit dockworkers, travelers, and cautious thieves.

Provides advantage on checks made to remain dry in steady rain while worn. It is not protective armor.

Where The Take Sits

The workshop's visible stock fills the low room beneath the seawall, but the most valuable goods are behind Yara's locked wooden screen. Cash is kept beneath the cutting table, personal belongings occupy the sleeping alcove, and sensitive records are hidden in a false-bottom drawer near the back wall.

On Failure

A failed theft attempt triggers the bell-lines hidden beneath the display racks. Yara hears the alarm from her sleeping alcove or from the seawall stairs, while the locked screen drops a second bar across the best-material cabinet. If the party remains inside, dock guards arrive after minutes. Yara first demands repayment and names the thieves aloud in the harbor market, but she calls for arrest if anyone draws a weapon or harms her staff.

Shop Atmosphere

“The Stitch and Strand occupies a low stone workshop beneath the seawall, where every high tide makes the floor tremble and sends a breath of cold brine through the cracks. Coiled hemp rope hangs from ceiling beams like sleeping serpents. Patched canvas covers half the walls, sail needles gleam from magnetized strips, and pulley blocks crowd the shelves beside tar pots and baskets of sailcloth scraps. A narrow stair leads directly toward the harbor, while a second door opens onto a cramped service passage used by dockhands. Yara keeps the finest cordage, imported cloth, and private commissions behind a locked wooden screen reinforced with three horizontal bars. She knows every creak in the floorboards and ties a tiny bell-line across the passage whenever she leaves the workshop. She is a broad-shouldered human woman with close-cropped dark hair, a missing fingertip, and a habit of testing knots by leaning her full weight against them. Yara is brisk but fair, offers discounts to crews who bring honest work, and refuses service to anyone who wastes material or mistreats deckhands. The shop's name began as a local shortening of an older phrase, 'stitch and strandwork,' used by the first seawall riggers. No one in Last Safe Harbor remembers the original phrase, but everyone knows the shop by its shortened form.”
