On Failure

A creaking ward bell chimes through the dusty shelves, waking the proprietor's brass homunculus and alerting the owner from the back room. The shop locks down, the front door bars itself with force, and the party must contend with a stunned but armed defender, possible guards, and a ruined chance at a quiet escape.

Shop Atmosphere

“The shop is thick with dust, incense, and half-forgotten enchantments. Dust motes drift in lazy spirals around active wards, and several items hum softly even when untouched. The owner insists the dust is 'protective ambiance' and refuses to sweep certain shelves because, according to them, the dust remembers what is important.”
