Caltrop

Caltrops were effective items used by some rogues and adventurers to dissuade pursuit.

Uses
Caltrops were tiny metal creations lined with spikes. When dropped on the ground during a pursuit, they did a wonderful job of slowing down and even injuring the pursuing party, allowing a thief extra time to make his or her escape.

Prices
A bag containing 100 caltrops cost 2 gold.

Locations
Though they were surely independently made in other lands of Toril, caltrops were known throughout the north to have been invented in Sundabar. They were a popular export of the Old Anvil Smithy within the city.
