Hobgobs and Boom Sticks

An isolated merchant booth with wooden tables piled with explosive crates, dynamite sticks, round hob-lobbers, flat claymore mines, and chemical barrels.

Hobgobs and Boom Sticks begins as a solitary, explosive-laden merchant stall in the second floor's chaotic marketplace, but its significance grows as Carl repeatedly returns to stockpile increasingly powerful ordinance. The booth evolves from a simple vendor stop into a recurring strategic hub where Carl's relationship with the merchant deepens, allowing access to rare and devastating explosives that prove crucial in later floors. By the time Carl reaches deeper levels, the stall has become both a lifeline for acquiring game-changing weaponry and a symbol of how preparation and firepower can turn impossible odds.
