Oh, a-lookin’ for a bowyer an’ fletcher are ye? Well, ye’d be hard pressed to find a finer one than Stormfeather, rest assured. Craftsmen so fine, they say there’s elven blood in their family tree somewhere – and I can believe it by lookin’ at that Elisa, let me tell ye! Haw! Erm, ahem. Good day, sir.
1)Shop Floor The interior of this building is rather old, though the wooden surfaces are kept waxed and oiled by Thea. Multiple display items hang from the wall, notably a number of the fine bows that Silin has crafted over the years that he has never sold. Also hanging from the walls are individual examples of Silin’s fletchery and arrow-crafting work, from the wickedly barbed warhead arrows used in short and long bows, to bulb arrows used to hunt fowl and other small game with. The fletching all bears the distinct gray and white markings used on all Stormfeather arrows.
The shop floor is divided in half by a wall and hearth on one side, and the business counter on the other. Behind the business counter, Silin keeps several quivers of his arrows. This provides a little nook behind the wall where Silin normally does small detail work on bows by the light of lamps and the hearth and provides significant warmth during the winter.
Stormfeather Fletchers is a shop well known for its goods. Rangers and other hunters come from miles around to buy quivers of their fine work. The Stormfeather family is best known for its fletching and arrow-craft, though their bows are quite fine. More than this, however, the Stormfeathers are known for their willingness to teach nearly anyone who comes to them the use of the bow – adventurers have been known to make extensive trips to see old Carneg.
Goods
Shop Exterior
The goods to be had at Stormfeather Fletchers are, as the name suggests, primarily arrows and bolts. The fletchings of Stormfeather arrows are marked with a distinctive gray and white pattern, painted on by Silin as part of his work.
The storefront of Stormfeather Fletchery is nicely whitewashed, with blue-gray painted accents on shutters and jambs. The sign above the door is done up as a thundercloud with an arrow arching downwards, zigzagged like a bolt of lightning, its fletching bearing the distinctive gray and white markings of Stormfeather work.
Silin always has a number arrows on hand – indeed, he tends to have a great number of them, quivered and all ready to be sold. (See the sidebar “Store Contents” for exact details.) But Silin doesn’t only sell standard hunting arrows – he also sells his custom-made bulb-arrows, the favored tip for those who are hunting small game or birds. (These bulb arrows have the same statistics as standard arrows, but inflict subdual damage.)
The door is a stout pine door fitted with a bell that rings merrily as someone enters it; the door and shutters are kept well locked at night.
