Where The Take Sits

Most of the shop's valuables are divided between the locked sales counter, the forge-side tool chest, and Zeor's loft above the workshop. The front showroom is visible from the street, while the rear storeroom is separated by a half-height wall and stacks of charcoal. A concealed bell under the counter is linked to a striker near Zeor's sleeping platform.

Security Check

Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) with thieves' tools, followed by Wisdom (Perception) to notice the concealed bell
DC 15

On Failure

A failed theft attempt triggers a concealed bell connected to the forge floor. Zeor, who sleeps in the loft above the workshop, arrives within 1 minute wearing his reinforced breastplate and carrying Pridebreaker Hammer. If the party fails by 5 or more, a rack of unfinished weapons collapses noisily, alerting nearby guards or neighbors and imposing disadvantage on attempts to flee unnoticed. Zeor first demands repayment and surrender, but he will fight if the thieves threaten his staff or attempt to escape through the forge.

Shop Atmosphere

“Zeor insists that every customer strike a test bar with the weapon they are buying before leaving. He remembers the sound of each weapon and can identify many of his own pieces by ring alone. The shop smells of coal smoke, cedar oil, and hot iron. Its walls display finished weapons alongside half-completed commissions, while a narrow loft overlooks the forge through a curtain of hanging chains. Zeor is proud, direct, and unusually patient with apprentices, but becomes visibly protective when anyone insults his craft or treats a weapon as disposable.”
