High-quality vellum scroll, treated to accept arcane ink reliably. Widely used for encoded rebel communiques.

Treated to resist water and smudging for 24 hours

Sturdy quill and a vial of fast-drying, slightly luminescent ink. Ink glows faintly under moonlight to help midnight scribes.

Luminescent for up to 2 hours after application

Leather scroll tube lined with a false bottom and wards to muffle sounds when opening.

AC +1Minor enchantment dampens sound when opening (advantage on stealth to hide the action once per day)

A tattered pamphlet with a cypher key and a handful of pre-encoded phrases used by various underground cells.

Possessing this pamphlet may make certain NPCs more trusting (GM discretion)

A kit of inks, stamps, templates, and a dash of sleight-of-hand polish. Useful for altering documents convincingly.

Grants a +2 circumstance bonus to Forgery/Deception checks when used properly

A worn map showing safehouse routes, blind alleys, and patrol rotations—useful for travel through the city underbelly.

Map is annotated with time-sensitive notes (may be out of date; roll Investigation to use reliably)

A high-quality reproduction of a city official's wax seal used to authenticate forged orders.

Grants advantage on one Deception check to pass off a forged order (consumable prop)

Small clay pellet that, when smashed, creates a thick cloud of choking smoke (5-foot radius) for 1 minute.

Shop Atmosphere

Kaerix always stamps each purchased scroll with a tiny ember-mark (a crimson dot hidden in the margin) that serves as a signature and subtle tracking tag among rebel cells. The shop's front appears as a cramped bookbindery by day; customers use a hollowed book on the top shelf as a code: rapping the spine three times summons Kaerix's apprentice to deliver goods. On certain nights, Kaerix hosts a silent auction of confiscated bureaucratic missives—entry is by invitation or a whispered counter-chant at the back door.
