Weapons4

A simple iron dagger with a hairline nick; the pommel is wrapped in oilcloth. Cleaned well enough for use, likely relieved from someone's belt.

None. Appears mundane but concealed compartment in hilt (small, single-use).

A short sword with rust pitting the fuller. Sturdy enough, but needs oiling and a whetstone.

Slight chance (DM) of blade catching unless cleaned; sold at discount as 'questionable provenance'.

A longbow with a splint and leather binding; serviceable for a few shots if handled carefully.

Atk After 3 successful shots, must succeed on Strength save or the bow breaks and is unusable.

Small, crudely forged knives meant for stabbing at close quarters or as throwaways.

Easily concealed; sold in sets. One shiv has a 10% chance to be poisoned (if buyer asks).
Miscellaneous8

A hooded cloak dyed in a grimy, slate color. Lightweight, slightly water-resistant, with inner pockets for small contraband.

AC +1Grants advantage on Stealth checks in urban/dockside dim light at DM discretion (+1 to AC in wet/dark conditions).

A compact set of thin picks and tension wrenches in a small leather roll. Well-made and oiled; not legal in many ports.

Grants +2 to thieves' tools checks for one user when used properly.

A tiny glass phial of thick black sap. Illegal and dangerous; used to coat blades or tip arrows.

Applied to a weapon — first hit deals poison damage and target must make a Con save or be poisoned for 1 minute.

A cramped scrap of parchment covered in hurried ink; contains a single casting of Thaumaturgy.

Single-use scroll; can cast Thaumaturgy once. If used by a non-spellcaster, roll Intelligence check () or scroll is destroyed with no effect.

A forged seafarer's pass and a salon of stamps for a specific minor port authority. Useful for slipping past patrols if not inspected closely.

Provides advantage on checks to bluff or pass as a seafarer with DC up to 12; higher scrutiny might detect the forgery (Investigation ).

A waterlogged coin etched with a laughing face. It's apparently worthless in most markets but reeks of bad luck to some.

Minor curse: when spent, the spender suffers a -1 penalty on next attack roll or ability check (wears off after 24 hours or remove curse).

A crude tin cylinder that emits a flash and billowing black smoke when lit. Illegal and unpredictable.

On detonation creates heavily obscured area (10 ft radius) for rounds. Creatures within 5 ft must make Dex save or be blinded 1 round. Single-use.

Fingerless leather gloves with stick patches on the palm; helps grip rope and small objects.

Grants +1 to Sleight of Hand checks when handling small items or climbing rope.
Potions1

Red-brown liquid that bubbles faintly. Heals, but leaves a bad taste and slight grogginess for an hour.

Heal 8 HPRestores 8 HP (instead of standard ). After use, roll Con save or be poisoned for 1 hour (minor nausea: disadvantage on Wisdom checks).

Shop Atmosphere

“The Blighted Bilge sits three alleys in from the rotten quay, under a wavering lantern with a fishbone sigil. Mallik keeps the lights low and plays a tune on a cracked jawbone when a 'friend' enters. Transactions are done with coins placed on a chipped pewter tray; Mallik counts them with a steady stare and vanishes two doors down if the authorities approach. He offers a free chain-smoked cigarette for first-time buyers and rarely gives change greater than 10 cp. If you pocket anything without asking, he will know—once—and either claim it later as 'bartering debt' or quietly arrange for you to be followed. The shop smells of brine, lamp oil, and old iron; deals are often cheaper if you can tell a believable story or leave something in trade.”
