The Salted Hook

The shop smells of tar, wet rope, and old rain. A bell over the door only rings if the wind is blowing from the harbor. The owner quietly buys back stolen tools...

On Failure

If the theft goes wrong, the shopkeeper shouts for help, a nearby gambler or dockhand calls the watch, and the alley outside becomes crowded fast. The party may be chased, forced to flee, or have their faces remembered by locals who trade gossip for coin.

Shop Atmosphere

“The shop smells of tar, wet rope, and old rain. A bell over the door only rings if the wind is blowing from the harbor. The owner quietly buys back stolen tools from thieves at half value if it keeps the business alive, and there is always at least one crate in the back that nobody is allowed to open without a better reason than curiosity.”
