Mr. Gandystock, doesn't stock a lot of weaponry and armour, but he does have a few  things that he has begun to keep on hand when he can get them, because of all the rumors of war and of dangerous creatures prowling around near the Shire.

* Before the first warrior in the party makes any purchases.  This store is peculiar (unlike most in WHQ).
** The cost and the selling prices are generally accurate for the Shire, but elsewhere the items might have a different value.
*** RPB = RolePlay Book.  Also, all items with the same name as found in the RPB will work exactly as described there.
**** More details in advanced rules for the Chef (yet to come), but these ingredients (primarily spices can have various helpful (and some quirky) effects upon the warriors who consume the meal.
***** Heavy Wool Sweater (Hobbit size only) - in melee combat and for each non-piercing missile taken on a 1D6 roll of 5+ for each attack it will absorb 1 wound. However, for every blow that does 10 or more total damage (before deductions), if the roll to absorb is a 1 or 2, then the sweater has been partially rent and will no longer provide as much protection. From then on, it requires a 6+ to absorb a wound. If it is ever rent a second time it is totally destroyed.  The sweater does NOT count as armour.
