On Failure

The party is likely chased out, named in the ledger as debt thieves, and barred from future credit unless they flee quickly.

Shop Atmosphere

“The shop keeps a running chalk board of who owes what, which field needs repair, and which family can be trusted to pay after harvest. A second, smaller list is hidden behind the flour bins and quietly connected to a nearby faction that moves scarce goods through the village. The owner always talks like a tax collector when annoyed and like a quartermaster when friendly.”
