Shop Inventory
(19)A finely made set of picks, scrapers and tension wrenches in a velvet roll — well balanced and whisper-quiet. Zayda polishes the tips with a blackened oil she insists masks the user's scent.
A leather roll containing basic lockpicks, tension wrench, small mirrors and a file. Functional and familiar to most rogues.
Thin silk thread and a bent needle for delicate stitching or discreet repairs—useful for tailoring, mending torn pockets, or sewing in small tracking charms.
A dark, viscous oil that eases moving parts within locks. Zayda insists a drop on a pick tip quiets the sound of scraping.
A small coin rubbed raw with an unidentifiable ash. It sits heavy in the palm and seems to cool when danger is near.
A tiny muslin packet filled with powdered night-bloom petals and iron shavings. Tossed and crushed, it releases a clinging gray smoke that obscures vision.
Thin, adhesive leather pads that stick to the soles of shoes. They muffle footfalls and shed a faint dusting of ash instead of making noise.
A small polished disc inlaid into a tarnished case. One side reflects normally; the other reveals dim movement in shadowy areas.
A spool of fine, nearly invisible wire used for trip triggers or fastening small objects—coated with a residue that resists rust.
A modest hand press and set of dies capable of imprinting convincing faces on coins and stamping various textures.
A spool of extremely fine thread that is nearly invisible in moonlight. Often used to attach small items or stitch illusions into clothing.
A hand-drawn map showing back alleys and cellar entrances in the city's old quarter. Some paths are faded or marked with cryptic notes.
A blackened silver locket with an opaque stone. When held near mechanical traps, the stone throbs faintly.
A small iron crowbar useful for prying doors, windows, and crates. Maintained to avoid betraying screeches.
A 50-foot length of sturdy hempen rope, frayed slightly at the ends.
Contains flint, tinder and a small iron striker. Zayda's is lined with a scrap of black velvet that seems to hide sparks.
A single, very fine pick for intricate wards and small locks. Sold individually for customizing a set.
A small vial of red liquid that mends wounds when drunk.
A dim, silver-blue vial. When a single drop is applied to the tongue, ambient sounds dim as if a veil were drawn.

Shop Atmosphere
“The Old Coin is lit by a single guttering lantern and a line of tiny glass coins embedded in the floor that faintly glow when customers lie. Zayda speaks softly and pauses mid-sentence as if hearing something behind the walls; she never charges for advice, only for favors. She accepts coin, trade (especially maps, secrets, or a 'tidbit of shadow'), and occasionally knowledge of a locked door. She will not sell the False Coin Press or certain charms to those who whistle openly in the shop or stare at the backroom curtain.”
