Lootable Stash

Where The Take Sits

The shop's real valuables are divided between the front counter, a cramped office, and a false-bottom storage crate in the rear supply alcove. The building has one public entrance, a barred rear service door, and narrow aisles that make movement noisy when shelves are disturbed.

On Failure

If the party fails the theft attempt by 5 or more, a concealed bell-string behind the counter rings in the back room. Nymrae immediately extinguishes the shop's lamps, releases two trained giant spiders from a barred alcove, and calls for the neighborhood watch. On a lesser failure, she notices the disturbance, locks the front door, and confronts the intruders while shouting for help.

Shop Atmosphere

Every item is tagged with a tiny white spider symbol indicating its quality: one leg means serviceable, two means reliable, and eight means Nymrae personally trusts it. Customers who insult spider symbolism are charged an extra 1 SP. The shop's shelves are arranged by scent rather than category, supposedly so Nymrae can identify missing goods by smell. A sleepy giant spider named Velvet lives in a reinforced alcove and is trained to guard the rear office.
