(27)A small, dented holy symbol of various creeds — brass, carved wood, or tin. Serviceable as a focus for prayers.
A well-used length of rope. Still holds for light duty but shows wear and patched sections.
A patched leather backpack with a loose seam. Holds essentials but smells faintly of spices.
Five twig-and-cloth torches tied together. They burn shorter and smoke more than quality torches.
An old hooded lantern with pitted glass. Throws light but glare and soot are common.
Cheap paraffin candles in a tin. Burn roughly a quarter as long as higher-quality candles.
A day’s worth of preserved food that’s seen better days. Fills the belly but tastes rank.
A harsh, home-brewed spirit sold in a dingy bottle. Smooth talkers sometimes use it as a bribe.
A brittle scrap of vellum. The runes are faded; someone with magic might coax a single bit of power from it.
A sealed tin containing buttons, cracked dice, a child's toy soldier, a broken watch gear and other odds and ends.
A torn scrap of a city map marking a cluster of back alleys and a scribbled 'X' in pencil.
A small hand-mirror with a dull silver backing and a tiny crack; still usable for signals and grooming.
Two worn iron horseshoes. Good for replacements or a quick improvised hook.
A corked glass of lamp oil — not much but enough to top off a lantern once.
A straw-stuffed bedroll that hasn't seen a good wash in months. Functional but uncomfortable.
An old metal button engraved with a crude sun. Locals swear it brings a streak of luck.
A heap of patched shirts, trousers, and cloaks. Sizes vary and stains are common.
A small brass compass; the needle sticks sometimes but points true after a minute.
A battered tinderbox with a chipped striker. It still makes sparks if handled by someone patient.
A small kit of picks and tension wrenches — serviceable but some pieces are bent and corroded.
A threadbare set of padded armor. Offers basic protection but the padding is compressed in places.
A wooden shield with a deep gouge. Still grants some protection if strapped on properly.
A short blade with surface rust and a slightly bent tip. Still cuts but may snap with abuse.
A shortbow whose string has been replaced multiple times and whose limb is slightly warped. Not reliable for long-range work.
A small glass vial of red liquid. Heals wounds when imbibed.
A pew-worn book with prayers and hymns. Pages are thumbed and a few are damp-stained.
A handbook on common plants and herbs. Pages are smudged but legible.

Shop Atmosphere
“The Cast-Off Chest looks like a jumble sale shoved into a shopfront: piles of religious trinkets, dog-eared manuals, and mismatched cookware everywhere. Elda, a soft-spoken human with ink stains on her fingers, keeps one eye on customers and the other on a sleeping tabby that patrols the counters. She haggles cheerfully, prefers trades of 'interesting' items over coin, and will often sell a 'mystery box' (1 gp) of unexamined goods. Many items are marked down because they came from lost-and-found piles, altar clear-outs, or a caravanner who 'couldn't be bothered.' Elda will occasionally accept clean rations, a rod of gold foil, or a curious bauble instead of full price, and she swears by her 'repair corner' where a copper or two will make things marginally better.”
