On Failure

If the theft is discovered, the smithy seals its inner grate, the owner calls two armed apprentices from the back forge, and the party is pursued through cramped side tunnels while the shop's bell alarm draws nearby guards or rivals. The shop also marks the thieves' faces with alchemical soot that is hard to scrub off for hours.

Shop Atmosphere

“This dusky smithy is carved into black stone and lit by low violet lanterns that make steel gleam like wet ink. The forge bellows breathe with a soft hiss, and the walls are hung with ranked weapon racks, spider-silk tassels, and plaques honoring duels won in silence. A faint scent of coal smoke, oil, and bitter myrrh lingers in the air. The owner sells openly to those with coin and restraint, but watches strangers with the patience of a spider in a web. Shadowglass weapons are displayed in a separate case under a hood of dark velvet, and the glass seems to drink in surrounding torchlight.”
