Weapons5

A finely balanced ash wand wrapped in silver wire and capped with a quartz bead.

Atk Once per day, can be used to cast a cantrip chosen by the shopkeeper at time of purchase.

A slender longsword with a star-flecked blade and a grip of blackened oak.

Atk This weapon counts as magical for overcoming resistance and immunity.

A courtly rapier kept in a velvet-lined sheath, favored by merchants, arbiters, and duelists who prefer their threats properly documented. Merrow Vane insists it is best used after all parties have read the terms.

Atk Once per day, on a hit, the wielder can force the target to make a Wisdom saving throw or become unable to knowingly break a spoken agreement for 1 minute.

A lawful duelist's rapier favored by clerks, arbiters, and very serious negotiators. It cuts cleanly and leaves behind the sense that every debt has a deadline.

Atk Once per turn on a hit, the wielder can mark a creature with visible silver ink until the start of their next turn. The marked creature cannot benefit from being hidden from the wielder. In addition, once per day the wielder can cast message without components, but only to a marked creature or a creature that can see the blade.

A notarized duelist's weapon used to enforce agreements with impeccable manners and unpleasant precision.

Atk Once per short rest, when you hit a creature that has spoken a promise, oath, or contract aloud within the last minute, you deal an extra psychic damage and the target cannot take reactions until the start of its next turn.
Miscellaneous8

A matched pair of thumb-sized crystal studs that hum softly when touched together.

Can store and replay one short message up to 25 words.

A weathered leather sack stitched with planar-thread and sealed by a brass toggle.

Effectively increases portable storage capacity and keeps contents dry.

A polished silver bell on a blue cord, sold with a wax-sealed instruction card.

The beads softly chime when undead are within 120 feet.

A tiny brass charm shaped like a broom, sold on a ribbon of red silk.

Once per day, it can clean a single object no larger than a backpack.

A narrow brass bookmark etched with lavender filigree and a tiny hinged eye. It is kept in a felt-lined case that smells faintly of rain on hot copper.

Once per day, the bearer can present the bookmark to neatly summarize, in writing, the last item they touched in the shop. If the item was handled without permission, the paper prints a sharply worded reminder and the next bargain starts at a disadvantage to the offender.

A waxed pouch for ink, chalk, and fragile trinkets.

Keeps parchment and spell components dry if properly sealed.

A brass claim seal used by merchants, archivists, and very serious collectors. Merrow insists it is 'for orderly custody, not theft.'

Once per day, you can press the seal to a document or container and declare a polite claim. For the next 24 hours, you always know the direction to that item within 300 feet, provided it remains on the same plane. The mark can be removed only by the owner, by speaking your full name aloud to it, or by a successful Dispel Magic.

A rolled vellum scroll tied with a green ribbon and sealed in lacquer.

Contains a 2nd-level spell chosen from the shop's current stock, usable by a character who can cast from a spell scroll.
Armor2

A dark gray cloak clasped with a small opal brooch, tailored for travel and duels.

Atk You gain a bonus to saving throws while worn.

A soot-black traveling cloak lined with thread that seems to drink in light.

Advantage on one Stealth check per long rest while in dim light or darkness.

Lootable Stash

Where The Take Sits

The real valuables are split between a concealed till under the counter, a locked back-office ledger chest, and a warded workshop shelf beyond the sales floor.

Security Check

Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) to lift the key, or Dexterity (Thieves' Tools) to bypass the lock and wards

On Failure

If the theft goes wrong, the shopkeeper triggers a warding alarm that rings like shattered glass. The front ward flares, the brass homunculus darts to block the exit, and nearby city watch or hired wardens arrive within minutes while the party is identified by description and possibly by spell signatures.

Shop Atmosphere

The shop smells of lavender ink, hot copper, and old rain. Prices are negotiated politely, but the owner becomes sharply businesslike the moment anyone touches a display item without asking. A tiny clockwork imp polishes shelves after closing and repeats the phrase 'Inventory is a promise.'
