Security Check

Dexterity (Stealth) or Intelligence (Investigation) to locate the stash, then thieves' tools to open the lock if needed

On Failure

The shopkeeper also locks away the stronger potions and marks the suspects for future attention.

Shop Atmosphere

The shop is decorated in blush velvet, pressed flowers, and heart-shaped labels, but the mood is more mischievous than lurid. The harengon owner chats at blinding speed, gives every customer a complimentary candied violet, and insists all love potions are 'for encouragement, not coercion.' Mirrors are angled to make the room feel warmer and more flattering than it really is.
