A plain iron knife with a serviceable leather grip. The shop keeps several behind the counter for travelers, cooks, and desperate adventurers.

A sturdy ash staff, useful as both walking stick and simple weapon. Each is rubbed with beeswax against rain and rot.

A compact iron-headed hammer balanced for throwing or driving pitons.

Boiled leather reinforced with narrow strips of metal. The stitching is practical rather than elegant, but the protection is dependable.

AC +1

Overlapping metal scales sewn onto a hardened leather vest. The owner stocks it for caravan guards and newly licensed adventurers.

Miscellaneous13

A packed canvas bundle assembled for expeditions, with every strap checked twice before sale.

Hemp rope with red thread woven through one end so the shopkeeper can identify his stock at a glance.

A hooded brass lantern with a small reservoir of lamp oil. The hinges squeak unless regularly oiled.

Bundles of ordinary candles, each wrapped in waxed paper to protect them from damp weather.

Soft white chalk used for trail marks, diagrams, warding circles, and leaving rude messages in abandoned ruins.

A waxed packet of chemically treated splints. The shopkeeper warns customers not to test them indoors.

Each matchstick remains lit for 1 round

A compact roll of bandages, needles, clamps, salves, and bone saws. It smells sharply of vinegar and rosemary.

A cloudy glass flask packed in sawdust. The owner sells it with a stern reminder to keep the stopper pointed away from one's face.

A polished shard of translucent quartz etched with a tiny sword. The shopkeeper calls it an adventurer's insurance policy.

When activated, grants a +1 item bonus to the next attack roll made with the weapon before the end of the turn

Straight-shafted arrows or quarrels selected from a shared bin. Customers may choose the ammunition type that fits their weapon.

A small clay cup of the house's cheapest spirits, sold mostly to cold travelers and people who need courage before entering a dungeon.

Provides a mild +1 item bonus to saving throws against fear effects for 10 minutes, but excessive drinking can cause intoxication

Where The Take Sits

The shop, called Brindle's Open Hand, occupies a broad timber building beside the town's wagon road. Ordinary goods fill the public floor, while higher-value merchandise is kept behind the counter and in a locked loft office. The cellar is reached through a trapdoor beneath stacked sacks of grain. Hessa's mastiff sleeps near the rear door, and a brass bell tied to the counter drawer alerts her whenever the cashbox or locked cabinets are disturbed.

On Failure

A failed theft attempt triggers a concealed bell beneath the counter. Hessa Brindle, her trained mastiff, and two neighboring shopkeepers respond within 1 minute. The party is confronted, the town watch is summoned if anyone flees or uses violence, and Hessa begins recording the adventurers' names and descriptions in her debt ledger.

Shop Atmosphere

“Brindle's Open Hand is a warm, crowded general store with a creaking wagon-wheel sign, rain-darkened beams, and shelves that climb almost to the rafters. The air smells of lamp oil, leather, dried herbs, hot iron, and cinnamon from the owner's hidden tea pot. Every item is marked with a tiny red thread or dab of red wax, part of Hessa Brindle's inventory system. She is a broad-shouldered level 5 human merchant with cropped gray hair, a bright green vest, and a habit of asking customers what trouble they expect to find before recommending supplies. Hessa is friendly but relentlessly practical. She offers a small discount to anyone who buys a complete expedition loadout, but charges double for customers who break merchandise or waste her time. A chalkboard near the entrance lists local rumors disguised as stock notices, such as 'cave fungus, two baskets wanted' or 'missing mule, reward paid in lamp oil.'”
