About

The shop is called The Nail Yard, a name locals shortened from the old nail-making yard that once occupied this corner. Its soot-blackened sign still shows a hand clutching three square nails. Inside, the front counter displays useful basics, while the sharper tools and finished armor hang deeper in the warm, hammer-bright workshop. A barred stockroom door stands behind the forge; the loft above holds a narrow bed and household odds and ends. Nara is watchful but fair, and will haggle over a large order if the buyer pays a deposit. She keeps the forge going late and can usually be heard before she is seen.

Stash

4 items to steal

The stash · GM only

The shop's valuables are split between a counter drawer, a locked box near the forge, and Nara's cramped loft. A barred rear stockroom entrance and the forge's steady night-watch bell make a quiet theft difficult.

Security check: DC 14Dexterity (Stealth) to move quietly; Dexterity with thieves' tools to open the strongbox
If they fail: The iron grate over the rear stockroom rattles loudly. Nara hears it from the forge, calls for the night watch, and blocks the shop's front door with a bar. If the party is caught, she demands the goods back and alerts the town guard; she recognizes anyone who has already dealt with her.
The whole haul: About 37 gp

Till purse8 gp
Kept: Under the counter, tucked inside a false-bottomed drawer.
A small working float of mixed coins, mostly silver and copper, kept for change and morning purchases.
Value: 8 gp, 34 sp, and 60 cp
Brass locket2 gp
Kept: On a peg beside the small bed in the loft.
A worn brass locket with a tiny painted portrait inside. It has sentimental value to Nara but little resale value.
Silver harness buckles18 gp
Kept: In a locked strongbox beneath the workbench.
A pair of well-made silver buckles awaiting a customer's pickup. They are wrapped in cloth to keep them from scratching.
Order ledger5 gp
Kept: On a shelf in the loft, beneath a stack of old trade journals.
A ledger listing customer names, deposits, unpaid balances, and promised delivery dates. It could expose debts or provide leverage, though its resale value is modest.
Value: 5 gp to a buyer interested in the listed debts
