About

Apotos Nook Inc. Market occupies a sun-warmed corner stall beneath a faded blue awning. Clay jars, coils of rope, travel gear, and imported household wares crowd its shelves; painted amphorae and small bronze household charms lend the place a Greek coastal-market feel. The air smells of olive oil, cedar, and brine, while little chalk labels appear in several trade scripts. Kara-Sue Cuervo, a Ravnfolk merchant, runs the counter with a quick eye and a brisk, welcoming manner. She remembers regular customers, keeps her accounts meticulously, and prefers to settle disputes over a cup of spiced tea rather than raise her voice.

Stash

4 items to steal

The stash · GM only

The day’s takings are locked beneath the counter. More valuable stock and Kara-Sue’s business records are kept in a narrow rear storeroom, screened from the front by hanging linen and stacked trade crates.

Security check: DC 14Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) to lift the counter lock; Dexterity with thieves’ tools to pick it
If they fail: If the attempt is noticed, Kara-Sue calls for the night watch and blocks the narrow front aisle with a rolling stock ladder. A watch patrol arrives within minutes; the party can still flee, but the shopkeeper remembers their faces and reports the theft.
The whole haul: About 76 gp

Day-Till Pouch18 gp
Kept: Under the counter in a small lockbox
A canvas cash pouch with mixed copper, silver, and gold coins from the day’s sales. Kara-Sue keeps only a modest float in the shop.
Value: 18 gp, 43 sp, 26 cp
Kara-Sue’s Brass Compass8 gp
Kept: In the inner pocket of Kara-Sue’s hanging travel coat
A brass compass with a scratched glass face. Its needle still works, though Kara-Sue has marked the case with her initials.
Painted Trade Amphora35 gp
Kept: On the highest shelf of the rear storeroom
A blue-glazed amphora, carefully wrapped in linen and marked as a fragile import. Its resale value depends on finding a buyer who appreciates the craftsmanship.
International Accounts Ledger10 gp
Kept: In a locked writing desk behind the storeroom curtain
A ledger of supplier names, shipment dates, and unpaid invoices. It could expose debts or provide leverage with merchants, but is difficult to sell openly.
Value: 10 gp to a rival or interested creditor
