Miscellaneous8

Sturdy wooden shafts with simple iron arrowheads and fletching made from goose feathers. Standard hunting arrows—reliable and inexpensive.

None. Mundane ammunition.

A single arrow sold separately for those who lost a shaft mid-hunt. Hand-fletched and balanced by Rurik himself.

None.

Thick-shafted arrows with barbed heads that cause extra tearing. Favored for hunting tougher game and discouraging escape.

If an attack deals damage, the target must succeed on a Strength check or drop any held item two rounds later as the barbing pulls (GM adjudicated).

A leather quiver with compartments for 20 arrows and a small pouch for a whetstone or extra heads.

None.

A replacement bowstring braided from local flax and horsehair. Rurik offers fitting for most common bows.

None.

Soft wooden tips for safe practice on straw targets. Won't pierce skins but do simulate flight and balance.

None.

A small leather roll containing feathers, sinew, glue, and a bone needle for emergency repair of shafts and fletches.

Repairs made with the kit restore arrows to full function in the field; repairing a broken arrow requires a successful Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check.

A humble bundle of straw used as target stuffing or bedding. Often sold to newcomers learning to shoot at the range.

None.
Weapons3

A dependable shortbow carved from ash. Suitable for new hunters and caravan guards. Rurik oils the wood with lard and seasonal wax to keep it flexible.

None (mundane).

A longbow crafted from seasoned yew. Longer draw for greater range and power—common among rangers and experienced hunters.

None (mundane).

A short, beat-up knife good for field dressing game and whittling shafts. Not a preferred combat blade, but serviceable.

None.
Miscellaneous1

An arrow with a feather dipped in a cold-sap solution; the tip is dipped in a minute sliver of trapped winter. On hit it chills the wound.

On hit, target takes +1 cold damage. The frost effect dissipates after the first strike (single-use).
Miscellaneous1

An arrowhead wrapped in a dusky feather. If it strikes a creature, its next vocal sound (spell with verbal component, shout, etc.) is muffled.

On a hit, the target has disadvantage on the next vocal-based check (casting a spell with a verbal component or a loud shout) within 1 minute. Single-use.
Miscellaneous1

A handcrafted composite longbow made from layered ash and yew, reinforced with gut and a touch of boiled horn. Balanced for accuracy; Rurik sells it reluctantly.

Well-balanced: once per short rest, the wielder may reroll a missed attack and must use the new roll (Rurik calls this 'the acre's luck').
Miscellaneous1

A long, heavy arrow whose shaft is inlaid with a tiny sliver of iron plowsteel and a ribbon of harvest-braid. Locals tell of it startling boars and turning the soil's scent against foes.

On a hit against an animal or beast (including summoned), the target must succeed on a Wisdom save or be frightened until the end of its next turn. Single-use.

Shop Atmosphere

The shop smells of fresh-cut timber, linseed oil, and a faint trace of hay. Rurik greets customers with a farmer's blunt warmth — you either drink his strong cider or he pours it on a wound. He keeps a patch of potted barley by the door and will often barter seeds or a day's labor (1 free fletch per day of farm help) instead of full coin. He hums old harvest songs while he works and insists on marking every purchased quiver with the buyer's initials burned into the leather.
