Shop Inventory
(15)A plain iron-bladed knife with a horn handle, useful for cutting cord, kindling, meat, and feed sacks.
Coarse hemp rope, repaired and resold from old fort stores. Most lengths bear faded military markings.
Hand-forged iron spikes with flattened heads. Pell sells them in bundles wrapped with waxed twine.
Dense trail food prepared by the settlement's communal kitchens. It is filling, durable, and aggressively unappetizing.
Rendered lamp oil in stoppered clay flasks. Pell keeps the best-quality oil under the counter for approved buyers.
A dusty blend of oats, cracked grain, and dried grass packed into burlap portions.
Clean-burning charcoal from the Ashen Vale's scrub forests. It is sold to smiths, cooks, and anyone who needs a smokeless fire.
Coarse gray salt imported through Claymondge. Pell's cheaper grade is ordinary salt, though rumors claim some shipments contain black salt.
Salvaged military lanterns cleaned, fitted with new glass, and marked with a black thorn painted on the hood.
A practical fort-repair kit assembled from reclaimed tools. Pell claims every piece has been tested, though the hammer has three different maker's marks.
A legal-looking salvage permit that helps adventurers avoid immediate arguments with the Ashen Vale watch.
A local convenience item popular with refugees exploring cellars, tunnels, and abandoned rooms.
A luxury relish made from smoked peppers, vinegar, and preserved root vegetables. Pell imports it from a halfling cook in Claymondge.
A carefully packed block of cedar and resin sold as a small luxury. It is popular among families trying to make the abandoned fort feel like home.
A keepsake and informal proof of support for the settlement. Pell sells them to travelers, sympathizers, and merchants seeking goodwill.

Shop Atmosphere
“Pell Tallow's shop is called Tallow & Thorn, though the painted sign has been altered several times and still faintly shows the name Blackgrain Stores beneath it. The storehouse smells of smoke, vinegar, dry grain, and hot metal from the nearby sally port. Rope coils hang from roof beams, charcoal sacks form waist-high walls, and a salvaged Claymondge bell marks every caravan arrival. Pell is a quick-talking tiefling with ash-red skin, swept-back black horns, bright brass spectacles, and a tail that flicks whenever he lies. He is outwardly cheerful and generous with gossip, but quietly profits from the tension between the Ashen Vale and Claymondge by buying low from desperate refugees and selling high to suspicious merchants. He supplies the settlement tavern, works closely with the pragmatic quartermaster, and secretly exchanges information with the NPC representing Claymondge's interests. Pell wants the fort to become a recognized trade stop, yet fears the supernatural problem in the eastern bastion will destroy the opportunity. He denies knowing why anyone needs so many nails, lamp oil, and black salt, but the hidden ledger proves he has been paid to provide them.”
