Where The Take Sits

The shop occupies a narrow former mortuary beneath a leaning bell tower. The public room holds ordinary supplies and defensive magic, while the most valuable stock and records are divided between the owner's locked office and a chilled cellar beneath the floor. The staff rely on line of sight, concealed bells, and bound undead that remain inert unless a ward is disturbed.

Security Check

Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) or thieves' tools, followed by Intelligence (Arcana) to bypass the mortuary wards

On Failure

A failed theft attempt triggers the shop's silent alarm. The brass memorial masks mounted around the sales floor turn toward the intruders, while the owner's bound attendant, Tcharek, seals the only public door with a ward that suppresses teleportation for 1 minute. The shopkeeper then arrives from the rear embalming room with two invisible skeletal servants. If the party fails the check by 5 or more, one stolen item is marked with a tracking curse that lasts for 7 days.

Shop Atmosphere

“The shop is called Veyr-Khassa, a worn corruption of an older phrase from the founders' homeland that once meant something like 'the place where the dead are turned aside.' Locals no longer know the original meaning. It appears as a narrow, soot-stained mortuary wedged beneath a leaning bell tower, with green shutters, a sloping roof, and a brass sign showing a hand pushing a crowned skull away from a doorway. The threshold is packed with layers of salt, powdered lead, and dried river clay. A creature with spellcasting, innate magic, a supernatural mana reserve, or a magical pact cannot cross it. The shop's wards do not judge morality. They simply reject active access to magic, causing a harmless but unmistakable sensation of pressure behind the eyes. The interior smells of lamp oil, bitter herbs, old paper, and cold stone. Shelves hold potions in coffin-shaped bottles, silvered weapons wrapped in funeral cloth, and small drawers labeled in three scripts, only one of which is still understood. Every room is illuminated by blue-white lamps that cast shadows a fraction of a second late. The owner is Uzal, called the Empty-Handed, a tall human woman of advanced age whose dark skin is marked with pale ritual scars along the knuckles and throat. Her name was borrowed unchanged from the founders' homeland, though locals pronounce it incorrectly. She wears a charcoal coat, a copper veil over her lower face, and a ring of keys made from different metals. Uzal has no mana and cannot cast spells, which is why she can enter and remain in the shop. She is a patient, severe merchant who tests every customer by asking what they intend to do with an item if it fails. Her assistant is Tcharek, an angular corpse animated by contract rather than necromantic control. Tcharek performs stocktaking, carries heavy crates, and politely objects when customers touch the merchandise without asking. The shop's most unusual rule is that no living customer may speak the true name of a dead person within the cellar. Doing so causes the corpse-bells beneath the floor to ring, even if no corpse is present.”
