Shop Inventory
(18)A thick, leather-bound volume of field notes, sketches, and first-hand accounts detailing undead behavior, vulnerabilities and ways to temporarily slow their advance. Useful for planning encounters and gathering clues.
A pocket-sized illustrated guide to plants and substances that accelerate necrosis or can be used to craft repellents and basic alchemical reagents against undead.
A bound primer used by scholars that explains necromancy fundamentals without enabling harmful rituals. Often used by clerics and mages to counter undead magic.
A slim volume of practical first-aid routines for field medics. Not magical, but clearly the difference between survival and infection in many outpost tales.
A collection of short prayers, litanies, and ritual scripts used by small congregations to bless perimeters and fortify morale.
A carefully scribed scroll that casts Protection from Evil and Good on the reader or a willing creature. Useful for warding against certain undead and possessed creatures.
A large foldout map of the surrounding outpost and eight miles of territory, annotated with safe paths, known ambush areas, collapsed roads, and burial grounds to avoid.
Scroll containing Lesser Restoration for immediate use—useful for removing disease or conditions inflicted by rots and blights common in the region.
A sturdy blank ledger with ledgers for trade, contracts, and hunting tallies. Useful for leaders of survivor groups to track supplies and obligations.
A small glass vial of holy water blessed by a traveling cleric. Effective against certain undead and fiends.
A specially prepared ink mixed with crushed blessed herbs. Used to draw simple wards, sigils, or to scribe temporary glyphs that irritate or deter undead.
A finely balanced quill with a silvered nib. Useful for writing on special inks and for signing wards or treaties—Marta claims the silver prevents foul residue.
A cheap stapled pamphlet of 20 pages describing early signs of infection and basic first-aid to slow necrotic spread.
Small kit containing charcoal, waterproof paper, compass, and rule—a standard kit for scouts mapping dangerous routes.
A heavy, rune-stitched grimoire that contains several divinations, charts, and rituals tailored to detect undead presence at a distance. Restricted—Marta sells only to trusted buyers.
A small handbook with step-by-step instructions on crafting simple wooden stakes, silver-tip treatments and makeshift traps from common materials.
A stout wooden stake with an iron tip and leather strap—designed to be hammered into undead or to pry open stuck doors.
A small rechargeable oil lantern (3 hours of steady light) bundled with a waterproof journal so scouts can take notes in bad weather or while on watch.

Shop Atmosphere
“Marta always keeps a small carved bone at the register. She refuses to sell the Grimoire to anyone who can't recite a short line of a local vow of protection, sizes up purchases with a quick 'undead risk' nod, and offers rumors in trade for spare candles or photocopied pages of rare books. The shop smells of old paper, winter herbs, and a faint tang of iron; at night a faint humming can be heard—Marta insists it's the wind through the stacks, but regulars whisper she keeps an old ward under the floorboards.”
