Weapons5

A well-kept short sword with small notches along the blade and a scabbard repaired with boiled leather and sinew. Balanced for one-handed use.

A wooden longbow used by local hunters. One limb has been reinforced with bark and resin; still reliable within normal range.

Occasional string buzz; -1 penalty to stealth checks if used loudly

A small axe useful both as a tool and a weapon. The blade has a few chips but has been sharpened recently.

A sturdy wooden staff, smoothed by use and fitted with knots to improve grip. Useful as a walking stick and club.

A used light crossbow with a slightly warped tiller. Effective for ambushes if preloaded.

Disadvantage on initiative rolls if the wielder is bulked down while reloading (flavour: creaky mechanism)
Armor4

Soft armor sewn from quilted cloth. Several patches have been added; still serviceable for a cautious adventurer.

AC +11

Leather armor reinforced with metal studs. Studs replaced in places with wooden rivets — less protective but keeps the armor intact.

AC +12If checked thoroughly, one finds a hidden pocket sewn inside for a small trinket.

A round wooden shield bound in iron with faded knotwork burned into the face. Dings along the rim speak of past skirmishes.

AC +2

A hooded woolen cloak treated with wax to shed light rain. Edge is slightly frayed.

Grants minor protection from the elements: disadvantage on checks to resist cold when worn.
Miscellaneous16

A simple leather backpack with several pockets and a water-stained flap.

A rolled woolen bedroll that keeps out the damp. Smells faintly of herbs used for sleep.

Sometimes attracts small woodland insects; advisable to shake out before use.

A treated leather waterskin with a cork stopper. Holds roughly 4 pints.

A week's worth of preserved meats, hard bread, and dried berries. Simple but nutritious.

A three-pronged iron grappling hook and a coil of sturdy hemp rope, good for climbing or securing gear.

A portable spring trap used for small game. Lightweight but effective if checked regularly.

Can be set to capture small animals for food or fur.

A brass lantern with a sliding hood and a small glass pane. Comes with a pint of lamp oil.

Provides bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet when lit.

A bundle of ten simple torches. Good for short-term light and starting fires.

Each torch burns ~1 hour.

A small iron striker and a block of flint used to start fires reliably.

A kit for a lone woodsman: a well-balanced hunting knife, a spare cord snare, and a tinder bundle.

A hand-drawn map marking trails, stream crossings, and known den sites. Includes a few 'safe' foraging spots.

May grant advantage on Survival checks to navigate the immediate region if used.

A small tin of salve for cuts and bruises. Spearmoss, plantain, and a dash of honey blended into a gritty paste.

Heals HP once when applied; cleans small wounds and reduces infection risk.

A small lockbox with an iron hasp and a simple tumbler lock. Comes with two iron keys.

Lock is basic: a competent thief (or a simple lockpick kit) can open it quickly.

A square net made of thin yet strong cord, used for fishing or trapping fleeing quarry.

Can be thrown to entangle a Small or Medium creature (GM adjudicates DC/escape).

A basic set of slender picks and tension wrench kept in a leather roll. Mostly functional for simple locks.

Gives a +2 to Sleight of Hand or Thieves' Tools checks when used by someone proficient.

A shallow box with char cloth and a flint striker used to light kindling quickly.

Potions2

A small vial of ruddy liquid made from hawthorn, comfrey, and a pinch of powdered quartz. Restores minor wounds.

Heal 2 HPHeals HP (downgraded from typical PHB potion due to rustic preparation).

A small bottle of bitter liquid said to counter common woodland venoms.

Grants advantage on saving throws against common natural poisons for 1 hour (GM may rule specifics).
