Shop Inventory

(15)
Weapons1

A stout wooden rolling pin, sanded smooth by years of use. Polly sells these to adventurers who insist they can cook on the road.

None
Miscellaneous14

A carved wooden spoon with a broad bowl, useful for porridge, soup, or stirring suspicious mixtures.

None

Dense rye bread, dried fruit, hard cheese, and a pinch of salt wrapped in waxed cloth.

None

A small, warm loaf with a crisp crust and a soft center. Polly insists that eating it before travel prevents foolish decisions.

None

A spiral pastry glazed with honey and dusted with cinnamon. The smell alone makes the shop feel warmer.

None

Sweet apple cider with a little spice. Polly sells it hot in the shop and cold for the road.

None

A small paper packet of coarse salt, folded shut with baker's twine.

None

A pitch-coated wooden torch kept beside the oven for travelers caught out after dark.

None

A sturdy canvas sack with a stitched drawstring. It smells faintly of flour.

None

A stoppered clay jug, useful for water, cider, oil, or carrying a suspiciously large quantity of gravy.

None

A thumb-sized honey biscuit containing one of Polly's tiny roasted luck seeds. The seed is sweet, crunchy, and almost certainly harmless.

Heal 2 HPOne-use bonus to the next d20 roll after eating the seed-filled bread.

A glossy fruit bun with a hidden roasted seed baked into the center. Polly gives stern instructions not to waste it on a gambling roll.

When eaten, grants a bonus to the next d20 roll made within 1 hour. One use only, and the bonus does not stack with another Golden Crust luck charm.

A paper cone of dried mint and chamomile sold as a remedy for travel fatigue, nervous stomachs, and people who refuse to rest.

None

A small linen packet assembled from surplus cloth and filled with clean bandages, beeswax salve, and needlework thread.

None

A waxed cloth wrap tied with red thread, useful for bread, maps, herbs, or anything that should not taste like the inside of a backpack.

None

Where The Take Sits

The shop's cash and records are kept beneath the front counter, while the more valuable biscuits and saffron are hidden in the bakehouse and pantry. Polly relies on ordinary locks, noisy hanging trays, and her excellent memory of every customer who enters.

Security Check

Dexterity check with thieves' tools
DC 13

On Failure

A failed Dexterity check with thieves' tools or an appropriate Sleight of Hand check knocks a hanging copper tray from its peg. The crash alerts Polly, who emerges from the bakehouse carrying a flour-covered rolling pin and loudly summons nearby guards or neighbors. If the party fails by 5 or more, Polly also recognizes at least one of them and spreads the story through the town by morning.

Shop Atmosphere

The Golden Crust is a warm sanctuary from the cold streets, with cinnamon, yeast, and woodsmoke clinging to every surface. Copper pans hang above the front room, and the windows fog whenever the ovens are lit. Polly Apple-Cheek is a halfling grandmother with flour-dusted elbows, a powerful memory for gossip, and a deceptively sharp wit. She is overwhelmingly motherly and scolds armed adventurers for wet boots, uncovered ears, skipped meals, and failing to wear scarves in the rain. She knows nearly every rumor in town because people talk freely while waiting for bread. Her most famous specialty is bread baked with tiny roasted seeds called luck charms. A customer who eats one gains a +1 bonus to the next d20 roll they make, but each charm works only once and Polly refuses to explain where the seeds come from. She will not sell weapons or armor, but she keeps practical travel supplies, simple remedies, durable food, and a few costly luck pastries for adventurers who look especially doomed.
