Shop Inventory
(15)A sturdy ash-handle broom with tightly bound bristles. Perfect for mundane sweeping or an improvised quarterstaff-like weapon. No flight enchantment.
A secondhand riding broom treated with wax and minor stabilizers. Holds a steady glide at walking or slow jogging speeds; lacks a true flight enchantment but maintains excellent balance and suspension for mounted riders.
An old witch's broom with a threaded silver band at the handle. It has one remaining charge that can be expended to cast Feather Fall (as the spell) on up to five falling creatures within 60 feet. Recharge: unknown.
A broom enchanted to sustain smooth, controlled gliding at low altitudes (equivalent to a slow, controlled descent with horizontal movement). It cannot ascend rapidly but keeps a rider steady. The binding is worn but intact.
A battered but serviceable broom. Grants full flight (as the Broom of Flying). It shows signs of many repairs — brass rings, steam-stitching from a tinker's plate, and a patched tail assembly — but functions reliably.
A small glass phial containing a faintly glowing, viscous liquid used as auxiliary fuel for steam-steeped broom enchantments. Stabilizes flight and smooths acceleration.
A leather roll containing small tools, brass rivets, quick-stitch thread, sealing wax, and two minor arcane foci for stabilizing enchantments during field repairs.
A set of articulated brass plates that clamp to the broom's shaft under the saddle to reduce vibration and yaw when flying at speed.
A windproof lantern with a low-charge ethercell; clips onto saddles or broom handles and sheds bright light for 30 feet and dim light for 60 feet.
Tin of polishing wax specially formulated for broom-handle wood and bristles; prevents rot and reduces drag.
A laminated scroll with step-by-step emergency procedures for riders on malfunctioning brooms: emergency jettison points, Feather Fall casting positions, and harness-quick release diagrams.
A steampunk contrivance combining micro-gearworks with arcane nodes that when fitted into a broom's tail assembly gives short bursts of thrust and improved agility. This is one of Gregory's tinkered prototypes, slightly erratic but powerful.
A leather-and-brass saddle designed to strap securely to broom shafts and keep riders stable in turbulent air. Equipped with stirrups, thigh-anchors, and quick-release buckles.
A battle-ready saddle equipped with short mounting points for small weapons, a rim to rest a shield, and fasteners for harnessing minor arcane stabilizers.
A gleaming saddle with inlaid mother-of-pearl and tiny gears that keep small stabilizing fins in alignment. Once belonged to a courier guild foreman.

Shop Atmosphere
“Gregory insists on testing any purchased flying broom personally in the alley behind the shop while puffing on a brass-laced pipe. He calls his broom 'Old Whistle' and will offer free maintenance if a customer brings back a story of where the broom has flown them. The shop itself smells faintly of ozone and pine; brass cogs, half-spun gears, and broom bristles hang from the ceiling on display. Gregory will barter repaired bristles or a lesson in broom-care for good stories or rare mechanical parts.”
