Weapons4

A stout, well-balanced handaxe with a leather-wrapped haft. Favored by dockworkers and sailors.

Well-balanced: +1 to attack rolls on Opportunity Attacks (flavour/DM fiat).

A slender blade with a faint wave pattern etched along the fuller — typical quality for city guards and messengers.

A common spear with iron bands reinforcing the wooden shaft. Durable and cheap to repair.

A reliable light crossbow with a sea-salted finish to resist rust from harbor air.

Has a notch for a spare bolt on the stock.
Armor4

A round steel shield with a coppered rim and a small wave motif — solid protection without being heavy.

AC +2

Tough stitched leather studded with iron rivets. Popular among scouts and city watch auxiliaries.

AC +12Designed for ease of movement in cramped alleys and ship decks (flavour advantage on some Acrobatics checks at DM discretion).

A flexible chain shirt with inner padding. Heavier than leather but offers superior protection without slowing a sailor.

AC +13

An armored bracer that protects the forearm from rope burns and incidental blows.

AC +1Provides +1 AC when both bracers are worn (practical but uncommon).
Miscellaneous6

Quick sharpening of one melee weapon and minor repairs (loose head, cracked haft) between tides.

Takes ~1 hour. More extensive repairs quoted separately.

A small brass lantern with a glass chimney and a protective grill; fueled with lamp oil.

Provides dim light in a 10-ft radius and bright light for 10 ft when lit.

A heavy iron grapnel with a stout rope (50 ft) braided by the smith's apprentice.

Useful for climbing and securing lines; rope may require knot checks depending on conditions.

A set of nailed iron horseshoes, fitted to a typical riding horse.

Ten sturdy iron spikes, useful for barricades, traps, or mooring small craft.

A compact set of smithing tools every adventurer should carry: hammer, tongs, small whetstone.

Miscellaneous2

A finely forged dagger etched with runes that glint like salt in sun. Favored by harbor watch and sailors who deal with fey-haunted harbors.

Atk This functions as a +1 dagger. When used on creatures native to coastal fey environments (DM call), it deals an extra cold damage once per short rest.

A masterfully balanced longsword with a blue-black hamon and a pommel shaped like the city's helm. Available only by commission; limited stock.

Atk Counts as a +1 weapon. Borlan allows limited enchantments on request at added cost (see shop for upgrades).

Shop Atmosphere

Borlan whistles old sea shanties while he works and always leaves a bowl of seawater and iron filings on the counter — 'for atmosphere,' he says. He keeps a ledger with notes on each regular customer and frequently offers a discount to anyone who has helped him haul coal or fetch a last-minute barrel of whale oil. He won't touch clearly powerful magic items without paperwork from a recognized guild or a formal request from the City Watch; he'll barter for stories of strange harbor ghosts.
