Ebbert's Outfitters

Ebbert Boltcrafter, a rotund, good-natured dwarf, runs a business designed specifically with the adventurer in mind. Those entering his shop will find spools of hundreds and hundreds of feet of rope, barrels and barrels of torches, and tools ranging from a simple spike and mallet set to the most intricate of lockpicks.

Ebbert pushes odd equipment that a new (or even not-so-new) delver might not think to take along, like chalk to mark passageways (he sells chalk in a dozen different colors). He also sells signal whistles along with a short, free list of easy-to-use codes (two quick blows for danger, one long and one quick to signal that you found something good, and so on) to help a group communicate underground while out of sight of one another. He invented and sells the following items: collapsible 10-foot pole, multiflask, rat harness, trapfinder ball, and wand sheath, as well as clever inventions by other adventurers such as breather masks and dark goggles.

Ebbert sells neither weapons nor armor, and he doesn’t buy used merchandise. For these needs, he recommends Rastor’s, the Bull and Bear, or Myraeth’s Oddities, respectively.
