Archery Shop & Thieves Guild

Welcome to The Sure Shot, the finest archery shop in the land! Nestled into the forested outskirts of a village, a bowyer and fletcher run a quaint store specializing in customized bows, from recurves to greatbows, and hand-fletched arrows designed for precision. In their spare time, they grow veggies in their front garden, selling the excess at their farm stand, and enjoy practicing with their finely crafted weapons at their archery range or sitting quietly beneath the shady tree on their bench to watch the sunset. They dwell in the shop’s attached living quarters, a simple space with a kitchen, dining area and loft bedroom. A well just outside their backdoor provides plenty of cool, clean water, and downstairs, their workshop allows them to craft to their hearts’ content.

Of course, this quiet corner of the village is perfect for another sort of clientele as well…

Beneath the shop, unbeknownst to the average passerby, lies a notorious hive of scum and villainy. The Thieves Guild has taken up residence there, and has set up a perfect one-stop-shop for robbers, smugglers and ne'er-do-wells of all sorts - at least, for those who can find one of the secret entrances and make their way inside. Whether they’re after a safe place to sleep and a bit of wine and cheese, or looking to get rid of some hot merchandise in exchange for coin, or perhaps to purchase the best tools of their trade, thieves of all stripes come to this guildhall for rest and restocking. The Fence sells weapons and equipment, and buys anything, no questions asked. A training area provides room to practice with bow, blackjack or dagger, and has a variety of locks to strengthen legerdemain skills. To top it off, the most wanted man in the kingdom, Guildmaster Skane, has an office there, where he also keeps the guild treasury locked up tight. And in addition to the regular hidden entrances, he has his own secret way to escape his office, not to mention a few choice valuables he’s stashed aside for a rainy day…

The Archery Shop & Thieves Guild is the perfect addition to any medieval castle or fantasy lego display, and serves as a great location for D&D adventures as well! There are so many little details and there’s plenty to do, whether your characters have a high regard for the law or prefer things of a less savory nature.
