A simple bronze knife with a laurel-wrapped handle, sold for household rites and festival preparations.

Resin incense blended with bay leaf, cedar, and crushed myrrh. When burned, it fills the shop with bitter smoke and green, resinous fragrance.

The oil remains fragrant for 24 hours after application.

A palm-sized wax tablet framed in painted wood, used to record vows, prayers, offerings, and festival observances.

A creature carrying the statue has advantage on one Religion check made during a related prayer or minor ritual, after which the blessing fades until the next dawn.

The chalk is visible in dim light but leaves no mark when used on consecrated stone.

The flame sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet.

A forged document bearing this seal has advantage on one Charisma (Deception) check made to pass casual inspection, but it does not withstand expert scrutiny.

When placed beside a household shrine, it grants advantage on one Wisdom (Animal Handling) check made during the next day.

A red potion with a faint golden shimmer, reserved for emergencies and sold individually from a locked cabinet.

Heal 2 HPThe liquid tastes of bitter herbs and warm honey.

A creature that reads the prayer aloud gains advantage on its next Religion check made within 1 hour, provided the check concerns a household shrine or protective rite.
Weapons1

A festival spear decorated with red wool, bronze disks, and a small iron point. It is carried in processions rather than battle lines.

Where The Take Sits

The shop's public shelves hold inexpensive statuettes, lamps, incense, and oils. The valuable stock is divided between a locked counter, a curtained shrine alcove, and a storeroom beneath the rear floor. The shopkeeper keeps the ledger and ancestor amulet close, while two assistants rotate between the entrance and the back room.

On Failure

A failed theft attempt triggers a concealed bronze bell beneath the rear counter. The shopkeeper's two assistants bar the front door, while the elderly priestess in the shrine alcove calls for the neighborhood watch and loudly accuses the thieves of sacrilege. If the party flees, their descriptions and names are circulated among Nova Roma's shrine keepers, imposing disadvantage on the next Charisma check they make to acquire ritual goods from an established vendor in the district.

Shop Atmosphere

“The shop is called The House of a Hundred Shrines. Its narrow frontage opens into a cool, incense-heavy hall lined with painted niches, each holding a small god, ancestor, or protective spirit. Bronze bells tremble whenever the front door moves, and the tiled floor carries the smell of olive oil, hot dust, cedar, and crushed laurel. Behind the counter stands Vibia Marcia, a stern human priestess of Vesta in her early sixties, with silver hair braided around a bronze pin and hands permanently darkened by lamp soot. She knows the proper offering for nearly every household crisis, from a feverish child to a cracked roof tile, and she treats careless handling of sacred objects as a personal insult. Her assistants are young freedpeople trained to notice missing inventory, false coins, and nervous customers. Every purchase is wrapped in linen and marked with a dab of red wax. Customers who haggle too aggressively are offered a cheaper substitute, then watched until they leave. At midday, sunlight cuts through the smoke above the shrine alcove, turning the drifting ash to gold as Vibia recites the names of Nova Roma's oldest families and their patron gods.”
