AX&X: Mungo's Marvelous Emporium

Welcome to the Emporium

Mungo buys cheap, sells dear, and asks no questions about the blood on your old boots. Everything on these shelves also lives in equipment.csv, so adding a row to that file stocks a new line, and the tables at the back are printed straight from it.

The core lists the same essentials in a sentence. This supplement is the long version: what each thing costs, what it weighs in slots, and the tricks a clever party gets out of a ten-foot pole. Buy what the delve demands and leave the rest to gather dust.

Reading an Entry

• Cost: In gold pieces, Mungo’s asking price. Sell your loot back to him at half.
• Slots: What it takes to carry. A dash means it tucks away free, into a kit or a pocket.
• Stat: The number that matters in play: a damage die, an Armor Class, a bonus.
• Notes: How it behaves at the table.

Coin & Carrying

• Starting Purse: A new adventurer rolls 3d6 x 10 GP and spends it here.
• Coins: Heavy. A big hoard is a load you carry: the GM calls when coin costs a slot or slows you, about one slot per 100.
• Slots: You carry slots equal to your STR score when a pack is worn, fewer without one: just what you wear and hold. A soft cap, not a wall: pile on more and you are Overloaded, below. A sack holds 3 slots; a mule or hireling holds more.
• Availability: A town stocks the common lines. Anything rare wants a bigger city, a favor, or a search, at the GM’s call.

Overloading

Greed and good hauls both outweigh a strong back. You may take up more than you carry well and pay the weight for it.

• Overloaded: One slot over STR or more: the load drags and tires you. Move at half speed with no Run, and you are Weakened, until you drop back within your slots.
• Immovable: Past double your slots you only shuffle the pile a few feet. No fighting, climbing, swimming, or running. Set it down to act.
• Lighten Up: Dropping a sack or pack is free and instant: ditch the haul, fight light, come back for it. Spread a load across packs, a mule, and strong backs; Travel runs the mounts and wagons that carry treasure out.

Arms

• Size and Damage: Light deals 1d4, medium 1d6, heavy 1d10. A heavy weapon needs two hands, so no shield with it.
• Damage Type: Each weapon is blunt, edged, or piercing, chosen when bought. It matters only when a foe resists or is vulnerable to a type.
• Off-List: A weapon outside your class list attacks at −2. An improvised one, a chair leg or a rock, is a light weapon at −2.
• Missiles: Bows and slings come with ammunition. Ranges and the firing rules are in the core and the Combat & Tactics supplement.

Armor

• The Trade: Heavier armor raises your AC but drags your move to 20 ft and sours any swim or hard climb. Pick for the dungeon you expect.
• Shield: +1 AC, one hand, and no good with a two-handed weapon.
• Donning: Strapping into medium or heavy armor is a few turns of work, not something you do mid-fight.

Light & Fire

• Torches: A torch lights 30 ft and burns 6 turns. Carry spares; the dark is −4 to hit and blinds your spells.
• Lantern: Steadier than a torch and shielded from wind. Each oil flask feeds it for 24 turns.
• Oil as a Weapon: A flask thrown and lit deals 1d6 and sets the target Burning. A missed throw can light the floor instead.

Doses & Vials

• Blade Poison: One coat lasts one hit: Body save or Poisoned. Applying it is an action, so do it before the fight, not during.
• One-Use Vials: Holy water and the like follow the same shape: one action to use, kept in a kit or a belt loop. Costly ones double as a treasure sink.

Tools in Play

• Ten-Foot Pole: The patron saint of careful parties. Prod the floor, trip a plate, fish a key, hold a nasty thing at arm’s length.
• Rope and Grapnel: Climb, lower, bind, or rig a trap. A grapnel turns a wall into a stair.
• Mirror: See around a corner, and meet a petrifying gaze without meeting its eyes.
• Spikes and Hammer: Spike a door shut for 1d4 turns against a monster, or pin a bridge, or mark a wall.
• Odds and Ends: A whistle signals across a room; chalk maps a maze; a sack hauls the loot.

For the Wild

• Living off the Land: Line and hooks, a set of snares, a herbalist’s pouch, and a curing kit turn a long road into food and physic. The Hearth and Harvest supplement gives the rules; these are the tools they ask for.
• Camp: A tent and bedroll keep the weather out, so a cold or wet night is no longer a Body save against Exposure.
• The Dog: A hunting dog earns its ration: +2 to Hunt or Trap, and a growl in the dark.

Class Kits

• Thieves’ Tools: A Thief needs them for the best shot at locks and traps; without them the Class Check suffers.
• Holy Symbol: The Cleric’s focus for prayers and for Turn Undead. Lose it and you cannot prepare spells.
• Spellbook: The Magic-User’s focus, opening with two 1st-level spells. A scroll or a captured book copies in with a Day of study.

5. A map to somewhere, drawn by a known liar.

7. A finger bone that always points downhill.
8. A sealed letter, never sent, still warm.

Stock Your Own Shelf

Price new gear by slot and effect. A mundane tool is a coin or two and one slot; a one-use trick runs a few GP up to 25. If it would swing a fight on its own, it is treasure, not gear. Keep the names strange; Mungo would.
