About

Every bottle has a name, a distinct personality, and a little paper label written in Glyn's careful hand. Some sulk, some flirt, and one empty flask keeps asking to be refilled. Most are harmlessly eccentric, but Glyn never sells a potion without explaining its temperament and effects. The rear workroom smells of bitter herbs, warm glass, and rain on stone. The shop is named for a warning Glyn's predecessor painted over the door after a still fire: customers kept the sign because changing it felt unlucky.

Stash

5 items to steal

The stash · GM only

Most valuables are kept in the rear workroom, beyond the crowded public shelves. The till is easy to reach, but the locked cabinet, hidden ledger, and rear door are arranged so Glyn can watch them in the workshop mirrors.

Security check: DC 16Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) to lift items unnoticed; thieves' tools for the cabinet or floorboard lock
If they fail: A bell on the rear door gives a single sharp ring. Glyn's six eyes catch the movement in the mirrored glass behind the counter; she calmly locks the front door, calls for the night watch, and asks the would-be thief to sit down before anyone gets hurt. If the party resists, she uses the shop's narrow aisles and shelves of fragile glass to delay them while the watch arrives.
The whole haul: About 117 gp

Counter Till18 GP
Kept: Locked drawer beneath the register at the front counter.
A small float of mixed copper, silver, and gold coins, kept for change rather than as the shop's full earnings.
Value: 18 GP, 6 SP, 24 CP
Six-Star Thimble8 GP
Kept: Inside a shallow wooden box beneath Glyn's chair.
A silver thimble etched with six tiny stars. It is worn smooth from years of handling and has obvious sentimental value to Glyn.
Crystal Twin Vials35 GP
Kept: A padded cabinet in the rear workroom.
A matched pair of finely cut crystal vials, empty and carefully wrapped in felt. They are valuable to a collector and easy to break.
The Bottle Ledger25 GP
Kept: Under a loose floorboard beside the workbench.
A ledger of regular customers, outstanding tabs, suppliers, and a few private notes about which bottles are prone to arguing. It could be sold, used for blackmail, or returned for a reward.
Value: 25 GP to the right buyer; more if used for leverage
Reserve Ingredients30 GP
Kept: In the locked cupboard behind the still.
A sealed tin containing small samples of rare dried herbs and mineral salts. These are legitimate stock, but several jars bear handwritten labels and disapproving faces.
