Weapons4

A dependable military blade with a broad, single-edged profile. The grip is wrapped in dark leather, and the pommel bears the shop's crossed-hammers mark.

A balanced handaxe forged for both woodcutters and adventurers. Each axe is sold with a simple leather loop for securing it to a belt.

A compact iron hammer suitable for combat, pitons, nails, and emergency repairs. Its head is plain but exceptionally well tempered.

A narrow, balanced dagger with a practical iron blade. The shop keeps several inexpensive versions available for travelers who lose their knives underground.

Armor3

Riveted iron plates cover the chest, shoulders, and upper limbs, with sturdy leather beneath. The armor is functional rather than decorative, and can be adjusted to fit a new wearer.

AC +16

A round wooden shield faced with iron and painted in the customer's choice of three standard colors. Scratched examples are discounted for militia and caravan guards.

AC +2

A practical set of boiled leather reinforced with small metal studs. It is light enough for scouts and sells quickly to new adventurers.

AC +1
Miscellaneous7

Thick, heat-scarred gloves made from layered hide. They are sold in pairs and come with replacement wrist ties.

A canvas roll containing iron spikes of several sizes, useful for climbing, securing doors, bracing collapsible passages, or making improvised repairs.

A small wooden box of standardized arrowheads, sold to hunters and adventurers who expect their ammunition to suffer rough treatment.

A custom field-repair kit containing rivets, wire, wedges, leather strips, and a thumb-sized vial of hardening oil. It is popular with adventurers who cannot afford to replace equipment.

The repair is temporary if the item is badly broken or made from unusual materials. The repaired item may require a full forge service later.

Twenty iron-tipped crossbow bolts packed in a narrow wooden case. The fletching is plain gray goose feather, chosen for durability rather than appearance.

A stoppered clay flask of treated forge water. It is mundane, but useful for cooling hot metal, quenching embers, and creating a brief cloud of steam in a desperate escape.

The first time it is used to douse a fire, loosen overheated metal, or create smoke, it produces a loud hiss and a cloud of steam.

A compact maintenance roll intended for caravan guards and craftsmen. It is marketed as a repair kit, though clever buyers can find less honest uses for it.

These tools are not thieves' tools and do not grant proficiency. They are intended for ordinary locks, hinges, and workshop maintenance.

Where The Take Sits

The shop's most valuable goods are divided between the locked display case, a false-bottomed workbench drawer, and a coal bin in the rear forge area. Coins remain beneath the front counter, while Brunna keeps her most personal possession on her person.

On Failure

A failed theft attempt triggers a concealed tripwire attached to a rack of hanging pans. The crash alerts Brunna and her apprentice, who emerge from the forge with weapons drawn. If the party attempts to flee, Brunna shouts for the nearby watch and bars the front door with a dropped iron beam. A second failed check or any obvious violence turns the incident into a confrontation with Brunna, her apprentice, and two off-duty caravan guards lodging nearby.

Shop Atmosphere

The Iron Hearth is a high-quality neighborhood blacksmith built into a converted stone guardhouse. Its open front is framed by blackened oak, and the walls display finished blades, shield bosses, horseshoes, cooking hooks, and carefully labeled racks of replacement parts. Heat rolls from the rear forge, carrying the scents of charcoal, oil, hot iron, and citrus peel used to mask the smoke. Every item is polished before sale, and Brunna refuses to stock shoddy work even when customers ask for the cheapest option. A bell made from a broken helm rings whenever someone enters, while an apprentice named Pell keeps tools moving between the counter and forge. Brunna Ironvein is a broad-shouldered dwarf woman in her late middle age, with copper-gray braids, soot-darkened spectacles, and a burn scar crossing one cheek. She speaks bluntly, tests every blade with her thumb, and remembers the names of customers who treat equipment well. Her prices are firm, but she offers free sharpening for weapons purchased from her shop and quietly extends credit to honest guards, caravan workers, and adventurers who return with useful work. The shop is closed during the deepest hours of night, when Brunna sleeps in a small loft above the forge and Pell locks the front door with an iron crossbar.
