Miscellaneous5

A sturdy, somewhat frayed broom made of bound birch twigs. Familiar scent of lemon oil; perfect for everyday sweeping or as a walking stick in a pinch.

None

Oversized broom reinforced with iron bands. Built for scraping muck in barns and sloshing water — very durable.

Resistant to rot; lasts twice as long as a normal broom in wet conditions.

A steampunk-inflected broom with brass cogs and a wound spring in its handle. When wound, it whirrs and scrubs floors on its own for up to an hour.

Can be wound for automated sweeping for 1 hour (requires rewinding to use again). Makes soft mechanical noises; attracts the occasional curious gull.

A small bottle of preserving oil and polish for wooden handles and brass gears. Keeps moving parts quiet and prevents rot.

Used to maintain clockwork brooms: a bottle gives 10 uses of maintenance, preventing a mechanical failure on a roll under a given DC when used regularly.

Bristles, twine, small iron bands, and leather patches for quick field repairs to worn brooms and saddles.

Grants advantage on a single tool check (carpenter's/tinker's) to repair a broom or saddle in the field.
Miscellaneous2

A well-kept, varnished broom with a faint enchantment. Grants the wielder advantage on checks to clean or tidy a room quickly.

When used to clean, grants advantage on Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) or Strength (Athletics) checks related to cleaning or moving small obstacles for up to 10 minutes once per long rest.

An aged traveling broom with leather-wrapped handle and a carved runic sigil. It was owned by a roadwarden who used it for patrols.

Once per day, while mounted on the broom, the rider can cast Pass Without Trace centered on themselves (as the 2nd-level abjuration) for up to 1 hour. Also grants +5 ft walking speed when carried.
Miscellaneous1

A slightly nicked but serviceable flying broom. The seat strap shows wear; the enchantment hums faintly. Capable of carrying one creature.

Functions as a Broom of Flying: grants a flying speed of 50 feet to one rider. In 5e terms, considered a rare magic item; sells cheaper used but inspected by Gregory.
Miscellaneous1

A compact broom with a gear-driven core and a small steam regulator. Designed for short bursts of flight (10 minutes at a time) — excellent for couriers or citywatch.

Allows flight (30 ft) for up to 10 minutes total per day in 1-minute increments; recharges with a short rest and winding (requires tinker's tools to maintain).
Miscellaneous1

Sturdy leather saddle with reinforced stitching and extra cinches. Comfortable for long rides, fits most mounts and broom saddles alike with basic adjustment.

Gives advantage on Comfort checks to reduce rider fatigue over long journeys (flavor).
Miscellaneous1

A set of leather-lined straps and brass gyros that hook to a broom's handle and a rider's harness to reduce motion sickness and provide a steadier ride.

Grants advantage on saves vs. motion sickness or fear-induced disorientation while airborne.
Miscellaneous1

A finely tooled saddle with brass fittings and a faint enchantment. Helps a mounted rider remain steady and keep control of their mount.

AC +1Grants the rider advantage on saving throws made to stay mounted and a bonus to AC while mounted. Rare (used and discounted).
Miscellaneous1

Gregory will inspect, repair minor flaws, and properly attune a single broom or saddle to a new owner. Price includes minor spare parts and a test flight (if applicable).

Attunement help and a basic warranty for one week (against immediate latent flaws).

Shop Atmosphere

Gregory always polishes the brass on any item you buy if you ask — but he'll sing a two-line, off-key tavern tune while doing so. He keeps a tiny clockwork mouse in his vest pocket that fetches small screws. If you haggle, he offers a 'used broom discount' only if you promise to bring him any interesting sweepings you find on your travels.
