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.

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.
