Miscellaneous2

A delicate flute carved from the femur of some long-dead creature; inlaid with tiny silver feathers. Produces clear, haunting tones favored by traveling minstrels.

When played for 1 minute, grants advantage on Performance checks to impress a single listener for the next hour (once per day).

A compact harp strung with dried reeds; surprisingly resonant and ideal for travel. Hanging roots can be plucked to add sympathetic overtones.

Mundane instrument. When played as part of a short rest, grant allies +1 to their next skill check tied to the rest (DM discretion).
Miscellaneous3

A masterwork reed flute that can mimic the calls of local birds. The tone you blow determines the bird call; the instrument seems almost sentient in its mimicry.

Once per short rest, you can play a 1-minute melody to cast Speak with Animals (birds only) without components. Additionally, you can imitate any nonmagical bird call perfectly (Perception and Nature checks disadvantage for others to tell it's fake).

A large frame drum with stretched hide and reeds woven into its rim. When struck, the drum's resonance carries like distant thunder.

Once per short rest, when you play a 1-minute rhythmic pattern, creatures of your choice within 30 feet (up to 3 creatures) gain temporary hit points equal to your Bard level + your Charisma modifier. Alternatively, you may use an action while playing to emit a thunderous pulse (Con save ) that deals thunder damage on a failure and half on success; usable once per long rest.

A small reed whistle wrapped in root-fiber. When whistled softly, it mutes footfalls in a 15-foot radius for 10 minutes.

When used, reduces noise by imposing advantage on Stealth checks that rely on silence (once per short rest).
Miscellaneous1

A well-balanced lyre whose strings hum with barely-contained magic. Notes bend slightly to aid the player’s intent.

Atk This functions as a +1 magic instrument: any spellcasting that uses a musical instrument as a spellcasting focus gains a bonus to spell attack rolls and to spell save DCs. Once per long rest, you can play a short, stirring melody to cast Heroism on up to three creatures (no components) for 1 minute.
Miscellaneous1

Simple bone flute sold for students and those learning breath control. Rough but playable.

None.
Miscellaneous3

A matched pair of seasoned hardwood sticks, wrapped at the grips with leather.

Can be used as improvised weapons ( bludgeoning).

A leather roll containing a small wrench, wax, spare reeds, and notes on tuning common folk instruments.

Using the kit grants advantage on a single instrument-repair or tuning check (Smith's/Performance as DM decides).

A woven case lined with padded root-fibers that hum faintly — good for preventing dings and dampening resonance.

Reduces chance of damage while traveling (DMs may rule advantage on checks to protect instrument).
Potions1

A small vial of ruby liquid. A single swig patches wounds.

Heal 2 HPStandard Potion of Healing: heals HP.
Miscellaneous1

A moss-green travel cloak with deep pockets and a hood; embroidered with reed patterns. Lightly water-resistant and ideal for performers on the road.

Grants a bonus to Survival checks to find shelter and +1 to Charisma (Performance) checks when worn during outdoor performances.
Miscellaneous1

A tiny carved reed on a cord. When kept near the mouth while reciting lines, your voice carries an extra beat that makes crowds pause.

Once per day, grants advantage on a single Performance check to captivate (DM discretion). Also adds +1 to Persuasion when bargaining over performance wages.

Shop Atmosphere

Kaelri insists every customer play a single note or rhythm before a sale — she declares it 'tunes the instrument to your soul.' She hums a response as she appraises, often singing your name as you test the piece. If a customer refuses, Kaelri will offer to hum a short note for them (for free), but she’ll always remark that the note sounded 'a little dusty.'
