Thimdul's Armaments

Owner: Piersym Rowley
Rowley is an old grizzled veteran who's blind in one eye and half blind in the other. However, he knows good steel by touch and smell alone. Rowley used to be a Vallakian guard, but left very young to apprentice a dwarven adventurer named Thimdul, who'd become trapped in Barovia by Strahd's will. Thimdul died of old age many years ago and Rowley carries on his craft.
Rowley and his couple of shopkeep assistants are responsible for making all the weapons and armor for the city guard. However, Rowley hates the Burgomaster and happily gives discounts to the PCs if he suspects that they're working against Vargas. If a PC ardently supports Vargas, Rowley sells them a subpar weapon at normal price that will break in combat on a roll of 6 or lower.
Rowley is a master weaponsmith, but isn't terribly gifted with armor. He sells only light and medium armor as a result, but can tell players about a legendary armorer he once heard about living in Kresk (Grygori Strum's Grandfather). If the players are looking for bows and crossbows, he can tell the players that Vallaki gets their stock from the Dusk Elves.
