A tindertwig was an alchemical tool used to easily light fires.[1]
Description[]
It was a tiny wooden stick with an alchemical substance applied to one end.[1]
Powers[]
When the alchemical substance was struck against something rough, it ignited automatically, much quicker than a flint and steel, let alone with a magnifying glass, and without additional tinder. They made lighting torches and other fires easier and faster.[1]
Creation[]
Related to alchemist's fire and smokesticks, tindertwigs required skill in alchemy and spellcasting to make.[2]
Availability[]
Tindertwigs were worth 1 gp each.[1] They were sold among various adventuring supplies, such as by Undermountain merchant Malvar around 1375 DR.[3]
Notable Owners[]
Cogol and Harrik, two ranger followers of Malar circa 1372 DR, tied tindertwigs to their smokesticks for ready ignition.[4]
Five tindertwigs were also part of the equipment of a Zhentarim acolyte of Bane that same year.[5]
Gyudd of Gyudd's Distillery in Skullport kept ten of them as part of his equipment in 1375 DR.[6]
History[]
Five tindertwigs and a vial of alchemist's fire were found behind some deathsbreath mushrooms in Hekkut the Molted's bandit base in the Delimbiyr Vale in 1372; it's unknown why they were there.[7]
A hundred tindertwigs were part of a cargo of supplies sent from Waterdeep to Swordhold in 1372 DR.[8]
