About

A plain green door stands wedged between two ordinary brick buildings. Opening it reveals a shop vast enough to contain galleries, staircases, and distant windows beneath a ceiling lost in greenish haze. Shelves rearrange themselves when unobserved, and tiny bells ring from places with no visible doors. The shop's name, The Moth Door, comes from the large green moths that gather around the entrance every night. Szek, a sharp-eyed gnome with a clipped, angular manner, keeps the counter and seems to know which aisle a customer needs before they ask. Szek never explains how the store fits behind the door, but insists that leaving through it takes exactly as long as entering.

Stash

4 items to steal

The stash · GM only

The shop's modest counter conceals a staff-only door leading to a cramped office that seems to occupy an impossible pocket behind the green entrance. The cash drawer, personal effects, display valuables, and customer ledger are kept in separate spots within easy reach of the attentive shopkeeper.

Security check: DC 16Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) or thieves' tools
If they fail: A bell hidden in the green door sounds without moving. Szek appears from a passage that was not there a moment earlier, while the shop's shifting shelves block the direct route back to the entrance. The party can still retreat, but Szek demands the stolen property back and calls for the door to seal if anyone resists.
