Town Provisions · Issued by Master Engineer Volrik Hedd
The town of Kridorfrost is eager to see the bridge secured and the sinkhole investigated. Master Engineer Volrik Hedd has authorised the release of standard expedition supplies from the bridge's emergency stores. Additionally, after some grumbling and a pointed reminder about the value of a loaded firearm against whatever lurks below, he has agreed to supply Brakkus with a limited allotment of gunpowder and ammunition.
Standard Issue (Free of Charge)
Each character may draw the following items from the bridge's stores. The quartermaster will note each item against your name.

| Hempen Rope (50 ft.) | 1 coil | Worn but serviceable |
| Torches | 3 | Wrapped in oiled cloth |
| Lantern (hooded) | 1 | With 2 flasks of oil |

Special Requisition — Brakkus Embervein
After a pointed discussion with Tollmaster Kael about the value of a functioning gunslinger against organised raiders, the town has relented. Brakkus may draw the following from the Tollmaster's private lockbox (where confiscated smuggled goods are kept).
| Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Black Powder (fine grade) | 20 charges | Measured in pre-sealed paper cartridges for quick loading |
| Lead Bullets (calibrated) | 30 rounds | Matched to Brakkus's pistol |
| Wadding & Patches | 30 sheets | Oiled linen for consistent seal |
| Powder Horn | 1 | Carved horn with a measured spout; holds 10 charges |
| Cleaning Rod & Tools | 1 set | Small brush, pick, and cloth patches for maintenance |
Additional Requests
If the party wishes to purchase or requisition further supplies, they may petition Master Engineer Volrik Hedd or Tollmaster Kael directly. Available for purchase at market price (or at a 10% "expedition discount"):
- Potion of Minor Healing — 10 gp each (3 available)
- Sunrods — 2 gp each (6 available)
- Tindertwigs — 1 gp per bundle of 5 (4 bundles available)
- Extra Rations — 5 sp per day
- Grappling Hook (spare) — 8 gp
Prices reflect Kridorfrost's isolated position — travellers' goods command a premium.
Carrying Capacity Reminder
Bulky or heavy items (rope, grappling hooks, lanterns) will slow movement if too many are carried. Consider distributing weight among the party. Brakkus's powder and shot are relatively light but must be kept dry — water exposure will ruin the charges.
