(14)A bench-bed in a crowded, damp dormitory room. Cleaned when Mara can afford someone to sweep.
A tiny private room with a thin mattress and a washbasin. Locked door on request.
A bowl of greasy, filling stew and a slab of coarse bread. Restores energy but not morale.
Thin local ale that gets the job done. Popular with dockhands and low soporific mages.
A single-use scroll holding a 1st-level cure wounds spell. Usable by a spellcaster who has it on their spell list; otherwise requires an Arcana check.
A fragile scroll that unleashes a reactive magical shield when read.
A palm-sized gray stone you affix to a lock; it holds a ward for 8 hours that makes unlocking without a key require advantage on checks.
A carved wooden pipe that keeps tobacco warm and gives a comforting, faint glow.
A small vial of red liquid that heals minor wounds when consumed.
A bitter vial that helps neutralize common venoms and toxins.
A cheaper, weaker healing draught sold when supplies are low—less reliable but sometimes helpful.
A modest +1 dagger. The metal is scratched and the grip is wrapped in patched leather, but the enchantment is true.
A flamboyant cloak that billows dramatically at the wearer's command. Mostly used for theatrics.
A somewhat shabby cloak that once was finer. It grants a steady protective charm to its wearer.

Shop Atmosphere
“Mara keeps ledger notes written in a mixture of shorthand and song snippets; she will haggle down prices for services (odd jobs, information, favors) and sometimes accepts rare trinkets in partial payment. The inn hosts a nightly 'lantern-song' where patrons trade news for a bowl of stew; Mara pays extra for rumors about local noble magic-users. Beware the stray cat named 'Bolt'—it 'judges' items and will sometimes curl up on newly purchased gear until someone tosses it a coin.”
